Description

As I understand, a split function “splits” a doc. But atm, the split function “extracts” sites as it leaves the source doc as is. For me, this behavior causes the additional step that someone needs to remove the source doc by hand after splitting. In my opinion, the ux could be improved as “splitting” already implies that the source will be removed, and the output is the new docs as defined in the split. What are you think about this?

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a doc
2. click actions and click split
3. after splitting a doc you will still have the source doc unaltered and the split outputs
