What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
Currently, once you're done editing an article opened through the Articles & Categories section, there is no way to return to the Articles & Categories screen as it was when you left. Returning to the A&C screen re-collapses all of your categories and unloads the one you had selected. This means that if I, for example, create a large selection of different magical daggers in a nested category (imagine Equipment>Weapons>Daggers>Magical) and move to edit the details of one, once I'm done and head back to A&C, the categories are collapsed again and I need to click to open each one or search via the bar, which is cumbersome. The only other solution is to open the "edit article" link in a new tab to avoid this. If it's possible to do so, adding some kind of feature that remembers which category you had open and re-opens it when you return would be fantastic. Clicking the A&C button on the left-side bar could still re-collapse everything, but perhaps a button under or near the "save" button for the article on the right that takes you back to your opened category could work. Else, we could allow users to automatically open the "edit article" page in a new tab via a setting if preventing collapse is impossible.How does this feature request address the current situation?
This addition would make jumping in and out of articles easy, without forcing a writer to open new tabs each time to circumvent the collapsing of their nested categories. It would help improve the creative process, as you could feel comfortable making many items at once and jumping in and out of each.What are other uses for this feature request?
This feature could also be used to remember which item type you had open, or to preserve the search you last made so that you don't need to re-type it.The Team's Response

on 2021-09-04 09:09Yes, please! I was about to suggest breadcrumb navigation, so I can go back to the previously opened category, since I tend to work on a few articles from the same category.
