For non-technical editors, the display of the document ID in the tree is unnecessary and confusing. When providing training to new users, it’s always something that comes up as a question / point of confusion, as they often think it is a count of documents, or something else.
It would be very helpful if the display of these numbers could be made an option, which could be set on a "per role" basis. For example a superuser or developer role might wish to see them, but a content editor they could be hidden.
I’d propose the setting has options of "Show", "Hide" and a third option where the IDs only appear on mouseover, e.g. normally
[ ] Resource title
Mouseover:
[ ] Resource title (32)
Or on a tooltip. This would make the interface cleaner and easier to scan while still keeping the information available.
