We'd like to have more consistency on DocumentCloud menu items. Some concepts underlying the redesign were (please correct or clarify as needed, couldn't find this explicit in the Figma):
Users use the left bar for navigation.
The right bar for action.
Right now, /documents/ /projects/ and /add-ons/ all off slight visual distinctions and different menu mappings, which I think hurts the usability more than we need to.
Consistent Action Buttons
We should have a consistent ordering and appearance (when applicable) in the "Upload Documents" section in the top right and generally on the left rail so that if a user is used to looking there for some item, it will appear there.
For the Upload Documents action box, I'd suggest the following actions, with the asterisked actions only appearing on /projects/ pages:
Upload (or Upload to Project)
Share & Embed (Make name consistent)
Edit Metadata
Edit Project Data*
Edit Tags & Data
Move to Project
Reprocess
Delete Document(s)
Delete Project*
View in Document Search*(would we still need this? Maybe we can drop it entirely?)
We should similarly keep the left hand side consistent, though adding Project Collaborators when on a project page but otherwise keeping the left hand menu the same.
I would suggest keeping that left hand rail for /add-on/ pages as well, and moving the Add-On pane to replace the right rail to be consistent with the initially stated left/right navigation/action distinction, while providing clearer markers for people to get back to the key area they're most likely to be interested in. I would also have the Add-Ons that don't run on documents still show the document pane for consistencies sake.
We should also be consistent in how items are capitalized. Our current style guide calls for clickable menu items to be capitalized; descriptive text should not be capitalized "Your Documents" button vs. "Your documents are safely saved." dialog. We have a place places such as Edit Metadata and Move to project in the Upload Documents dialogue area and EXPLORE by the Projects and Add-Ons menus where this convention is not followed.
