Easier access to studies edited in the same session

[baranan]

When working on a study, I often go to another view (another study, statistics, data download, etc.), and I must go back to Studies in order to return to the study I was working on. It would be best if the user could go back to the study much faster.

One possibility is to add the option recent studies to the top menu: Show the recent 5 studies on that menu.

You can just click backspace or the back button in your browser

Users learn not to click backspace in web applications, fearing this will cause unwanted behavior:

• Log them out from the website
• If I just downloaded data, perhaps something will happen to data
• If I just deleted a file in the editor view before moving to Statistics, might back-space undelete the file? And so on.

We have an option to sort studies by modify dates. it doesn't good enough?

[baranan]

It requires too many clicks:

1. Click on Studies, [loading...]
2. Click on sort.
3. Click on Study name. I prefer: Click on Recent->click on study name.

I don't like the idea that we will have 2 ways to get the same data (by 'Recent' button and by "Studies section"). I think it could be more efficient to add summary page (for the main page) that includes the recently studies and more important data.

Maybe the best solution is that for every study-specific page we have a direct link to its appropriate editor page.
