Option to disable upload in Inspection Phase or author can indicate defect ready to be closed

Do many other users find the ability to upload materials in the Inspection phase both a blessing and a curse?

I think maybe the intent or ideal operation would be for material uploads to be inhibited during the Inspection phases to force all reviewers to finish reviewing before the next upload comes.

In practice, some reviewers are slow to even start reviewing and the author is usually compelled to fix whatever defects are there ASAP. Collaborator allows them to do that which, from a pragmatic point of view, is probably for the best.

The downside is that reviewing can become messy. A defect can be raised and many uploads occur before or after the defect is actually fixed or gets closed. Collaborator used to show the uploads in defects and comments so you could at least easily see which upload a defect was raised in. It no longer does. So now you have to hover and get the timestamps, go to the review screen get the upload timestamps and figure out which upload to compare with to verify that the defect has been fixed. I guess including the uploads in the defect's text was making all the defects (and comments) conversations too big.

So, this could be fixed by giving the option to enforce no uploads until in Rework. Maybe at a review level rather than global.

Or provide a means (button) for an author to indicate to the reviewer that the defect has been fixed and is ready to be closed. Collaborator then uses that to show the pair of uploads either side of the fix. Authors could just add a "fixed" comment to the conversation but it still needs some work to figure out which upload the defect was raised in and compare back to. And the reviewer may still need to look at timestamps to figure out the upload it was fixed in.
