US1: As a new member to a space that allows conversation
User tasks & user stories

As a new member to a space that allows conversations, I want to discover what are the discussions going on and how to participate easily and with confidence.

Acceptance criteria

General

    We keep activity tabs where they are but update a bit the design to make it stand out a bit more.

    Delete the content tab option (document is always there).

    When the user clicks one tab, the a right sidebar opens (bottom up on mobile).

    On the main view "Root comments" will be piled together chronologically.

    The comments are shown from newest (top) to oldest (bottom) and the input box to add a comment is placed at the end of the list.

    When comment is on a text block or paragraph it will be highlighted on (1) the document and on the (2) comments panel. Do not do this

    Attributes tab can stay here for now, but we will explore other options on its US.



More details

    User can close the discussions panel any time

    User can expand discussions panel at any time, losing context of the document

    There is a reference to the number of comments on the header of the panel

    When hovering there would be bookmark, link and 3 dots options.

    Comments can happen:

      To the whole document

      To a specific block text or specific word or line.

      Images or videos: The element is visually highlighted but without taking a lot of space.

        Make images and videos smaller (thumbnail)

        When user clicks the thumbnail, it will be highlighted in the document.


Adding a comment

    When user adds a comment it will be highlighted on top and in soft blue as the newest comment added.

    When user want to participate for the first time, he can easily see who will receive the comment.

    By clicking the members link (12 members) , user will be redirect to the members tab.

      If the user is the admin, he could manage people (until we have Permissions US implemented)


Helping discoverability of Seed's main features

For new users discovery the document will show:

    More clear super numbers at the left where there are comments on text blocks.

    A tooltip to leave a comment on any part of the document text. This will disappear after user added the first comment.
