Comment (by karmatosed):

 @bradyvercher I had a play around with the patch and if I'm right the live
 preview is missing? I ignored there are some mockup elements missing that
 are pure UI - those can be brought in once we have a working patch.

 If I put the live preview to the side, the flow of this feels right. It
 makes sense and I have created a little movie here to show people:

 I really appreciate you creating this as it gives a really good sense of
 some of the flow. It makes me also feel some of the differences are
 important for us to have. I'll note before listing these I see as
 iterations not reasons to reject this patch at all, it's a great
 groundwork in a fast time:
 - An indication through arrows of reordering over the 'reorder' text. I
 strongly feel that isn't a good text option and an extra click we can do
 without.
 - Padding and lines in the actual panel. It feels super cluttered. Maybe a
 reason we should explore this as a new panel? I'd be keen to see that as
 an experience.
 - Remove word 'page' beside the page as it's that when you are picking. I
 understanding this and other things may be legacy of using menus perhaps?

 As far as the code goes, I am unable to comment but I also think we have
 to support and help each other in this patch because it's a tight time
 frame. I think @bradyvercher what you've created is amazing and gets us to
 the point of feeling this - something we have been unable to. Thanks for
 that, it's really good to feel this flow.

 For next steps, I would like to see outlined what we can do to make this
 more aligned both to the coding practices want - if needed - and then to
 the mocks for some of the UI.
