Comment (by afercia):

 I would try to investigate:
 - why the modal needs to switch view to display some errors in the
 sidebar: any technical reason for this?
 - ideally, the view shouldn't change
 - the error should just appear "in place", as close as possible to the
 "Select Files" button

 Re-reading the essential parts of the remediation suggested from the
 WPCampus report:

 > **Normally, moving focus to errors like this is not advised**, however
 currently the error and the informative text are visually far away from
 the "Select Files" button, and neither Braille nor screen magnification
 software announce status messages.

 > **A better solution is to change the design to bring the error visually
 directly under the "Select Files" button (while still also using a live
 region on the error message).**
