suggestions for the scrolling widget menu

Right-hand panel contents. The contents of the entity sections aren’t an optimal use of space, and there is some redundancy.

we find there is a bit of unnecessary information in the menu

a) it would be better not to repeat the species name every time (this only needs to be once at the top if at all because it will be obvious from the context/location- also these abbreviations are not commonly used). This would also free up this space to report specific entities like PRO modifications etc b) I'm not sure why the name is repeated as an annotation with evidence , or what the evidence refers to (is it the evidence for the MF term? in which case it should. be on the row above). c) Many of the entity widget boxes have has_input in them. Is this helpful? This is clear in the model, it doesn’t add anything to repeat this in the widget (i.e perhaps this panel should only be for additional information that is not obvious from the model (or a configuration option) d) It would be really nice if the widget extensions appeared in a standard order: i) MF ii) part of BP iii) occurs_in it is feels a bit odd and make reading more difficult with a random ordering

As more radical improvementwe thought that we didn’t always need to see ALL of the entities and it would look much cleaner if only the ‘clicked//highlighted had details displayed. and user just click on a different node to change the data), because you can only really read one entity at a time. This would also help with the fact that the order of the entities is alphabetical ,(which isn't biologically meaningful and makes it difficult to locate genes via scrolling). Or at least have an option to collapse the list so it shows only the one you are viewing with the option to "uncollapse".
