The Unreferenced section does not follow the agreed designs, and it breaks the UX flow for both Create Document, Move Document, Delete Document.
We should follow the designs and remove the Unreferenced section.
If our current technical constraints prevent us from implementing the designed UX, then we should go back to the whiteboard and rethink the whole functionality. There are other valid models we could consider. For example, Apple Notes uses folders:
New documents are created at the same level by default.
To create a hierarchy, the user first creates a folder.
Conceptually, these patterns are solving the same problem:
Create a folder in Apple Notes
Create a section in Substack
Create a document with a query block in Seed
Create a database in Notion
The real issue is that we do not yet have a clear user task for this action. We are mixing technical structure with user intent.
To fix the problem, we need to identify the right term for what the user is actually trying to do. Are they trying to create a folder, a section, a collection, a space, a view, or a document? Once we name the user intent clearly, the UX flow will become much easier to design.
Concerns
the home page will have a long list of documents
Documents will have many changes
documents want to change from subdocuments in the content to a query block.
