FEATURE: Improve wording "Upload documents" #2828

Open tillprochaska opened 1 year ago

tillprochaska commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We currently use "Upload documents" as a label to upload files in investigations. Users have been confused about this in the past, because they assumed this would only allow them to upload actual documents like Word or PDF files (and not images, spreadsheets etc.). We should consider using different wording.

If we decide to change the wording we should also check other features in Aleph as well as FtM to ensure we use terms consistently.

Describe the solution you'd like Not sure yet, maybe "Upload files".

Describe alternatives you've considered None
