Research direction

Start by locating documents.js and reviewing the remaining unchecked task, “Get rid of jquery widget in documents.js,” alongside the completed refactoring checklist. Confirm the widget's current role and any related references before changing it. Done means the jquery widget is removed from documents.js and the frontend still works as expected.
