Enhancement: Bulk Asset Management (Pagination + Multi-Select Delete) #3943
Description
Increasing Access
Currently, the Assets tab lists all uploaded assets in a single, continuous list with no pagination or bulk actions.
This creates multiple issues:
- Users have a hard storage limit (250 MB) and must manually clean up assets.
- Assets can only be deleted one at a time, which becomes tedious as the list grows.
- No way to efficiently manage or clean up old/unused assets.
- Performance and usability may degrade for users with many assets.
Current Behaviour
Assets are displayed in a long list.
Each asset has an individual dropdown with a “Delete” action.
No pagination, no multi-select, no bulk actions.
Feature enhancement details
1. Pagination or Infinite Scroll
- Introduce pagination (e.g., 20–30 assets per page), or
- Use infinite scrolling with lazy loading.
- Improves performance and readability for large asset collections.
2. Multi-Select with Checkboxes
- Add a checkbox for each asset row.
- Add a “Select All” checkbox in the table header.
- Allow selecting multiple assets at once.
3. Bulk Actions
-
Enable Bulk Delete for selected assets.
-
Optional future enhancements:
- Bulk download
- Bulk detach from sketches (if applicable)
4. Confirmation & Feedback
-
Show confirmation modal before bulk deletion.
-
Clear messaging like:
“You are about to delete 12 assets. This action cannot be undone.”
-
Show success/error feedback after action completion.
💡 Why This Matters
- Helps users stay within storage limits more easily.
- Greatly improves usability for power users and educators.
- Reduces repetitive actions and frustration.
- Aligns with common UX patterns in asset/file managers.
