navigate to parent #499

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

currently when i delete a fork, i am dropped back in the notebook list that INCLUDES the just deleted notebook. typically it has the same name as the parent, so i have to hunt to figure out how to get back to the parent.

Describe the solution you'd like

when a user deletes a fork, navigate the user back to the parent notebook.

Describe alternatives you've considered

perhaps only navigate the user back to the parent notebook, if the user is also the owner, or on the same team as the owner of the notebook. it might be strange to get directed back to some rando notebook i forked.

Strange... are you saying that, after you delete a fork, you are dropped in the notebook list and the notebook you just deleted is still in the list? That sounds like a bug...

trebor commented 1 year ago

ah, i get dumped into the activity list which shows i just deleted the notebook, so it's truthy. :)

So you are taken to you home page (which has the Recent activity on it, as well as Recent notebooks...). Are you still thinking that it should navigate to the parent notebook if you (or your team) is the owner of the parent notebook?

in short yes. when i delete a fork typically after a merge, the next thing i often want to do is get back to the parent.

498 is most def related here, as having the merge-delete would provide a clear rationale to return to the parent as part of that workflow.

it would be interesting to see which notebook users actually go to next after deleting a fork, rather than relying on my predilections. :)

i also would note that "home" is always easy to get to, there is an ever-present button for it. :)
