Users are perceiving sidebars as application level UI, not view-specific UI, and changes to the sidebars disorient them.
We should have a consistent ordering, labelling, and positioning for elements in each sidebar on in Document, Project, and Add-On layouts. In other words, if a user is used to finding an action in a particular place, it should appear there.
We should be mindful that these sidebars are either appearing in the presence of a selectable list of documents, or in the presence of a document viewer. Sidebars aren't currently present when dispatching add-ons.
Actions Sidebar
The right-hand sidebar should provide groups of actions that are consistently placed in the presence of a document browser or document viewer.
Proposed order:
Upload Documents
Document Actions
Share & Embed (Make name consistent)
Edit Metadata
Edit Tags & Data
Edit Projects
Reprocess
Delete
Project Actions (when on a project)
Share & Embed Project
Edit Project Data
Delete Project
Collaborators (Group)
Navigation Sidebar
The left-hand sidebar should be globally consistent between documents, projects, and add-on routes. Each one should be a collapsable group, with a link to the top-level browser.
Proposed Order:
Documents (Explore Public Documents)
Your Documents
Your Public Documents
Your Private Documents
Org's Documents
Pinned Documents…
Projects (Explore Public Projects)
Your Projects
Shared With You
Pinned Projects…
Add-Ons

@morisy I want to flag a complication I encountered while working this. If we are moving towards a globally-consistent left sidebar, then users will lose this dependable navigation in the viewer. The viewer uses the left sidebar to present document-specific links (its projects, tags and notes). This was one of the reasons I thought a Figma pass might be useful here—these changes could have large impacts on several different page designs and it'd be good to be able to consider them "in whole". We may also want to consider alternative global navigation solutions.
Yeah, I've decided to not touch the viewer in this pass and see if the changing sidebar still confuses people—then we can solve in a more targeted way.
