Description

**User Story:**
As a user who is authoring in a document, I would like an easier way to access my other documents without having to go back into the file navigator window.

**Acceptance Criteria**
**Non-functional**
- user is able to access directory in a side panel while in document
- side panel consists of the files/directory the user is currently in

**Functional**
- documents of current directory are listed
- user is able to up level the file navigator to find what they are looking for
- when a user selects a document, document will open in a new tab
- while on a file line item, user is able to select a copy button, which copies the file path URL to clipboard (ex: user is building a page but needs to reference a particular fragment, no more going back to find fragment, preview, get link, go back to page, paste it)

Research direction

Start by locating the existing file navigator window and document tab behavior. Trace how the current directory and document selection are represented, then determine how a side panel could expose the current directory, parent navigation, opening documents in new tabs, and copying file path URLs. Done means all listed acceptance criteria work together while authoring in a document.
