We would like the ability to add images from any Lightbox to a story to ensure that users can access to all grouped images.
In it's current state, users can only add images from the Lightbox attached to a specific story. However, Newsrooms use Lightboxes for more than just photo assignments - they use them to group approved images for future use.

Sure thing, @Lawrence!
Here's an example:
Let's say we're doing restaurant review and we have a photo assignment attached to the story. Once the assignment is complete, a producer adds images of food from the assignment to the story. However, if the producer wants to add an image of the restaurant that's in another lightbox that is relevant to the story, a producer is unable to do so because we are limited to just one light box.
In it's current state, limiting us to one lightbox prevents us from fully using photo center. We don't just use lightboxes for photo assignments. We also use lightboxes to group relevant images for easy access.
Hi Melanie - thank you for your feedback. We are still assessing/understanding this idea better, but not something we are exploring to do in the near future.
I'm hoping to get a little more information on the use case you stated above. Can you provide an outline of the workflow and what you're looking to solve when grouping those images in Lightbox for future use? Thanks!
