Add Ability To Remove Story Quickly From Collection via X/Trash Button

Hi there,

We're looking to see if there's a way to quickly remove a story from a collection via some sort of "X" button or trash icon next to the name of the collection.

Currently, the user has to click on the collection (or open it directly in WebSked) and find the story. Depending on the size of the collection, this could require needing to click the "Load More" button a few times. Then, they'll need to hover over the three-dotted menu, click "Remove," confirm they want to remove the story from the collection, and then publish the change to the collection live.

I envision a way to simply click on either an "X" button or trash can icon near the collection in the WebSked Pitches modal in Composer. This would then remove the story from the collection without having to go through the steps above.

If you need a screenshot of what I'm envisioning, please let me know. I realize changes are coming to Composer and WebSked, but wasn't sure if this would be one of them.

Thanks!

    Got it, Troy, thanks.

    The new Pitch/Add features that you're seeing in Composer now will be expanded when we implement them in WebSked as well. We are planning to include the ability to move/remove content from a Collection with the updated features, so they will be available in both Composer and WebSked.

    Thanks again for your input,
    Stuart

    Hi Stuart,

    What we're seeing in Option 2 is exactly what we're looking for built into Composer. Having the option to also move the story to the top or bottom of the collection is also a great option to have for quicker access. It also makes me wonder whether we should have a "Pin to top" option, too.

    Thanks!
    Troy

    Hi Troy,

    I'm so sorry for not getting back to you on this! I lost it in the shuffle, I apologize.

    I'm sure you're aware that there are two short cuts for removing a story from a Collection if you know the story in question:

    1. Open the story in Composer or view it in WebSked's List View and click Pitch --> Add to Collection. You'll see that the Collection in question is selected. Just unselect it and that should take care of it. No confirmation required.

    2. Even more easily, when you've click Pitch for the story in WebSked, the Collections are listed in the lower right, and you can select Remove from Collection and that should take care of it. No confirmation required.

    That gets us most of the way there, but I think what you describe is the same experience as my #2. but in Composer, is that right?

    Please let me know
    Stuart
