Feature request: handle user overlays across projects on the same platform

Currently, when new versions of a project are uploaded to the same MINERVA PLatform, overlays have to be manually transferred. This is error-prone and time consuming, with data potentially propagating against users' intention. MINERVA should support easier handling of the user overlays within the same platform.

Suggested solutions:

Solution 1:

  • user overlays are common across projects, visible for their owner on each project (on the same platform) the owner has access to.
  • public/global overlays: a given overlay would be decided as public/global per project.
  • challenge: removal of a single root overlay would result in removing it from other projects
    • suggestion 1: allow this behaviour under a warning prompt
    • suggestion 2: block a removal of an overlay until it's made private on all related projects

Solution 2:

  • implement a functionality for user data transfer (in bulk) across projects
  • challenge: this would be a manual solution, with data potentially propagating against users' intention
