GitHub user xuang7 created a discussion: Proposal: Reorganize the detailed 
dataset page with clearer sections

Hi everyone,

This is a follow-up discussion on the detailed dataset page layout. From the 
hackathon projects, we saw many creative interface ideas related to workspace 
design. I think this is a good opportunity for us to discuss broader 
improvements to the current detailed dataset page.

Currently, many dataset page improvements focus on refining the existing 
layout, such as improving spacing, adjusting individual components, and so on. 
While these changes are helpful, we may also want to explore a more organized 
and modern layout for the detailed dataset page itself.

Right now, dataset information, file management, preview, and settings are 
mostly presented on the same page. As more dataset-related features are added, 
the page may become harder to navigate and maintain. A tab-based or 
section-based layout may help organize the page more clearly while keeping the 
same level of information available to users.

### Proposed direction
We could consider reorganizing the detailed dataset page into clearer top-level 
sections or tabs, such as:
- Data card: dataset overview, including name, description, owner, tags, and 
visibility
- Files: file tree and per-file preview
- Metadata: source, schema overview, and statistics
- Settings: dataset management actions and access-related controls

This could make the page easier to navigate, especially as we continue adding 
more dataset-related features.

The rich file preview from [PR 
#5112](https://github.com/apache/texera/pull/5112) could also be a useful 
direction to consider for the Files tab.
