LOC Crowd: Can I filter out work I've already reviewed?

Hi Beth,

We've noticed a problem with the status filtering. Sometimes a page's status does not update correctly in the campaign and project pages -- for example for an accepted page to show as "Completed" rather than "In Review".  That issue is currently being addressed (as you can see in this Github ticket - https://github.com/LibraryOfCongress/concordia/issues/647).

However, it sounds like your frustration might be different.  Let me know if I get this right:  you have reviewed an item, made edits and then can't tell that "In Review" item you worked apart on from any others. Therefore, you click on items to review and find you cannot (because you most recently edited them). We don't yet have a way to filter out items you have worked on, but that's a great suggestion!  I will create a new ticket for this feature and cite your user story.  Any other details I should know or ideas about how you would like this feature to work?

That's exactly it, Lauren. I've found that I can look in my account to see what I've reviewed, but I'm not sure that gives the level of detail I need (i.e., the title of the document) to twig my memory on whether I've reviewed something or not.

So what seems to happen is that I have to remember what document(s) I have already reviewed and then click an unfamiliar-looking page, hoping it's not one I've actually already touched.

What would be great (and pie in the sky) is for a reviewer to have pages faded out at this level

so that they're not clickable -- denoting that one has already worked on them.

A secondary issue -- maybe just for me? -- is that the shades of blue used to code documents as In Progress, Submitted for Review, or Completed are a bit too close in hue sometimes to know at what stage they are. Aesthetically, it looks nice to have shades of a single color, though. (And again, this could just be my particular problem.)

Thanks --

Thanks for clarifying.  I've started a ticket here: https://github.com/LibraryOfCongress/concordia/issues/702

Feel free to add any additional context directly to the ticket or share here and I can post.

I agree about the blues, it can be hard to differentiate between the tones. There is still work to be done to refine the filtering experience.  I will add your recommendation there as well!

This has been a problem for me too. I do some transcription and then for a break I like to review documents but either I transcribed them or I already reviewed them and waste time trying to find items I can review. I hope there is a fix for this.
