Multiple doc selection on sharepoint does not work with large selections #228

Description Selecting multiple documents for preview/publish on Sharepoint does not work with large selection sets

I've noticed it, too. This is due to the fact that we currently rely on DOM elements with aria-selected="true" attributes to collect selected files, but SharePoint optimizes the number of elements it is keeping in the DOM when large lists are being scrolled through, I assume due to performance. It must be keeping the actual selection in memory somewhere, but I doubt there's an easy way to access it from "outside".

For now, I consider this a known issue.

Closing as a known issue for now. We can reopen if a solution emerges.

Is this known-issue documented in the docs? What is the workaround?

rofe commented 1 year ago

@synox I documented the limitation here now: https://www.hlx.live/docs/sidekick#bulk-actions The workaround is to preview/publish a large amount of files in smaller badges.

There is currently no known way to fix this, but I'll leave the issue open to encourage contributions from the wider community.

FYI, @ravkiran found out that you get a higher amount of selected items in tiles view (up to ~250), which could help make the workaround to preview/publish in batches a bit less painful.
