Surface Neuroglancer Documentation in the Portal UI and docsite

[dgmccart]

We'd like to make the Neuroglancer Quickstart guide more discoverable both in the Portal UI and on the doc site to address the UXR finding that most of our users are unfamiliar with using Neuroglancer.

The Neuroglancer Quickstart documentation is not currently linked to in the Portal UI. @Janeece is there an SDS pattern you'd recommend for this? Linking on or near the View Tomogram buttons would be ideal.

The Neuroglancer Quickstart documentation is located under About the CryoET Data Portal section on the docsite. Renaming that section or moving the Neuroglancer Quickstart to the Tutorials Section are 2 suggestions.

Another recommendation that can be rolled into this design is informing users that viewing the tomo also shows annotations (if we think both pieces of info should be in the same place).

@dgmccart there isnt a specific SDS component/pattern per se — it would require design work to suggest a solution. Is there a timeline this addition is needed by?

@kandarpksk do you mean this design?

I'm not sure this is still being implemented? We could use this location, but it would only last until we implement table-level search & we'd have to consider other conflicts (like deposition state callout).

I believe we opted not to implement the above design because all annotations are loaded into Neuroglancer by default. Some of the annotation layers may be turned off if they occlude other annotations, but they can be switched on just by clicking any layers with strikethrough text.

@junxini can comment on priority / timeline.

i believe this is accurate

let's group this into the UXR recommendation implementation for Q1 @kandarpksk let me know if that works with you

We can proceed with this and wouldn't need to wait until Q1 if bandwidth allows. I think it would make sense for it to be under the tutorials section. Open to other suggestions @dgmccart

Sounds good. Re: moving Neuroglancer Quickstart to Tutorials @melissawm will address that this quarter tracked in #1387
