As an admin or editor, I want to create documents and document collections so that my space stays structured and navigable.
Acceptance criteria
🧠 Key Mental Model Takeaway

User creates a document collection in the document browser → document browser right-click on any area or + on top → a view automatically appears in the document browser
User creates a document collection in the + New CTA → a view automatically appears in the document browser
The view type (compact, list, cards... ) can be changed or deleted at any time from the document collection (related US Work in progress WIP)
Adding or removing a document from either view updates both.
User can create a document collection from multiple docs selection ( as turn into a doc works now)

Need to define what activity we show on collections and how
Document browser → shows document collection with specific icon (clickable).
A document can be created inside a document collection. A document collection can be created inside a parent doc.
Content area → shows it as a document collection container (interactive, editable, different views).
A document collection is a standalone content block No other content (text, images, embeds) can be added alongside it
