Description
Designs
| Add New | Add New (Advanced) | Add from Library |
|---|---|---|
Spec
- Unit add sidebar is opened when clicking the "+ Add" button in the page level actions
- Default opens to 'add new' which shows all default blocks
- Added content gets placed at the end of the unit as the last object
- [to confirm] as soon as content is added, the info sidebar for that object opens.
Add New
- Advanced blocks are in a secondary screen
- Text, Problem, and ORA have templates that are in chips. These block types are collapsable by clicking the arrow.
- Click targets:
- Clicking a chip for a template opens that chip template (ie: peer in ORA opens a new peer graded ORA)
- Clicking the expand/ collapse icon expands or collapses the block type group
- clicking anywhere else opens the modal currently implemented for all block types
Add Existing
- Add existing tab shows content from libraries in cards
- Filter behaves as the filters on the Outline page
- Clicking the "+ Add" button on the card header adds the card
- Clicking anywhere else in the card opens a preview modal (out of scope: modal will be completed in the #1744 Epic
Add new components section
- We should leave those buttons as is.
- Put the paste button above the "add new component" section
