UX Improvement: Single page "New Document" workflow
When uploading documents via "New Document" we have to go through multiple pages where we select:
- Type
- Metadata
- Tags
- Cabinets
I've been archiving many documents manually and there are often cases where I need to change a single field, e.g.
- Type: Receipt
- Metadata: Author A / Author B / Author C
- Cabinet: Taxes 2018
- Tags: Vehicle
It's not possible to change just this one field, as there is no backbutton and the browser's backbutton returns me to the start and I have to enter everything again.
I suggest to make this upload flow a single page which would improve UX drastically.
- Set all parameters
- Drag a file into the upload area
- Change one field
- Drag another file into the upload area
I have not looked into the code yet, but it may just be possible to reuse each of the existing component and put them on a single page? This could even be made an optional workflow, though I don't see the current workflow having any advantage over this, so maybe this doesn't need to be optional.
