Issue

Users were confused between the player resources, or what we call resources, and image/audio assets used in the canvas/scene.

Solution

  • Rename resources to player documents
  • Group scenario controls to above the scene list

Risk

None

Checklist

  • Acceptance criteria met
  • Wiki documentation is written and up to date
  • Continuous integration build passing

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added scene background controls for solid colors and uploaded images, including preview, fitting options, and removal.
    • Added scenario-level Properties and Player Documents controls above the scene list.
  • Improvements
    • Moved Properties and Background controls from the top toolbar to scene settings.
    • Renamed user-facing “Resources” terminology to “Documents” throughout the experience.
  • Documentation
    • Updated guidance for scene backgrounds, Properties, and Player Documents.

Properties and Resources are scenario-scoped but sat in the scene toolbar
and page topbar, reading as scene-level. Move both above the scene list.
Background is scene-scoped, so it belongs in Scene Details rather than the
toolbar. The picker is unchanged; only its trigger moves.
Authors read "resources" as also covering canvas images and audio. Name the
feature for who it is for: "Player Documents" for authors, "Documents" for
players.

Routes, API paths and the Resource model keep their names -- renaming those
needs a data migration for no user-visible gain.
Also correct the Properties button location and document scene backgrounds.
The page keeps its /resources/ URL so existing links stay valid.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR adds scene background configuration for colors and images, moves scenario controls above the scene list, removes duplicate toolbar controls, renames resources as documents, and updates related documentation.

Authoring and document terminology

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scene background management
frontend/src/features/authoring/CanvasSideBar/BackgroundMenu.tsx, frontend/src/features/authoring/CanvasSideBar/SceneSettings.jsx
Scene settings now provide a background menu for color and image backgrounds, image fitting, uploads, previews, application, and removal.
Scenario control relocation
frontend/src/features/authoring/topbar/Topbar.tsx, frontend/src/features/authoring/SceneNavigator/ScenarioContentHeader.tsx, frontend/src/features/authoring/SceneNavigator/SceneNavigator.jsx, frontend/src/features/authoring/AuthoringToolPage.jsx
Properties and Player Documents controls move above the scene list. The toolbar removes Properties and Background controls and the unused resource navigation code.
Document terminology in the application
frontend/src/features/playScenario/..., frontend/src/features/resources/ManageResourcesPage.jsx
User-facing labels, empty states, preview text, headings, and error messages now use “Documents” terminology.
Authoring documentation updates
learn/pages/editor.md, learn/pages/properties.md, learn/pages/resources.md
Documentation describes scene backgrounds, relocated controls, and Player Documents terminology.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 344a8

The new scene-background controls can apply a stale draft to the wrong scene, leave the editor and saved scenario out of sync after a failed save, and accumulate unused uploaded images when changes are abandoned. These are concrete correctness and storage-management risks, so the PR needs fixes or explicit owner acceptance before merge.

255-262: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Give each uploaded-image button an accessible name.

At Line 255, ImageListContainer renders image-only buttons. Its thumbnail is a CSS background, so the button has no accessible name. Screen reader users cannot identify or select an existing upload as a scene background.

Add an aria-label from item.name in frontend/src/components/ListContainer/ImageListContainer.jsx.

Proposed fix
 <button
   type="button"
   key={item._id}
+  aria-label={`Select ${item.name}`}
   onClick={() => onItemSelected(item)}

why move the background menu? I think it fits better on the top bar given it relates to scene content, rather than scene settings / props.

to present the most commonly used buttons first, following conventions in google slides and ms powerpoint

thats all well and good, but why move it out of the topbar? it definitely should be there, especially according to your diagram of option placements, given it is content rather than settings/ other props.

Also, the placement of the scenario settings buttons does not look right where you've put it, i think putting them next to the topbar would be preferable.
