In legacy grid you could open/expand multiple documents, and had therefore a way to compare multiple documents (sort of). In the new data grid implementation this is no longer possible. During development of the new grid we implemented a way to select documents by checkbox in a PoC style, and removed later to focus on the stable parts.
So to allow users to select and compare documents in Discover the following should be implemented:
[ ] Add a checkbox to each document, allowing users to select/deselect document (We would store selected document ids in the Browsers sessionStorage, for a first version this would work like an additional filter based on the 500 doc sample. In later interactions this could work like a document collector, so you could collect document using differers filters and queries )
[ ] Provide a button/switch to the data grids toolbar to just view this selected documents
[ ] Provide a navigation for users to navigate between open documents (PR #94439)
It could look like this:
This would allow users to compare documents and fields in a already better way than in legacy word
