Library component sidebar: List courses that are using this component

[bradenmacdonald]

As a library content author, I want to see the list of courses in which my team's library components are being used.

@sdaitzman @jmakowski1123 @marcotuts Is this the latest mockup? Should we show breadcrumbs (which unit the content is being used in) or just the course name? When clicking on the link, should it take you to the unit where it is used? Should we indicate on this list if the usage in each course is out of date or not, if possible? How should we indicate if the current user doesn't have permission to see the course? CC @navinkarkera

@sdaitzman @jmakowski1123 @marcotuts Gentle reminder.

Thanks for flagging @navinkarkera

1. Yes, this can be the latest mockup. Implementation can be simple, just the course name in font that aligns with the rest of the sidebar.
2. Just the course name is fine for Teak.
3. On clicking, if it's possible to take the user to the unit where it is used, that's ideal. Lmk if there is extra effort required for this.
4. Not sure what you mean by "out of date". My assumption is that if the component is no longer being used in a course, then the course name is removed/de-listed from the sidebar. If there are new edits to the component that require syncing, the user will see the sync icon displaying anyway when they land on the unit page.
5. If the user doesn't have permission to view the course, can we use a default error Studio landing page that already exists for situations when authors get urls to courses that they are not staff on?

@jmakowski1123 Thanks!

@rpenido I think we have everything ready except for point 3 from above comment, i.e. taking user to the unit where it is used. Would like to handle it as part of this task?

@jmakowski1123 Is it fine to take the user to the first unit that is using this component in case the same component is used multiple times in the same course?

This is not currently implemented, but it requires little effort. Also, it won't be hard to list the units where the component is used (instead of the Course), as in the image below.

Let us know what you think!

@navinkarkera I can handle it as part of this task.

If it's little effort to both go to the unit, and to list the units under the course name, that's great. It's fine to redirect to the first unit where the component is used, if it's used multiple times.
