Great. (Just for reference: This was part of the suggestions of the rest
of my post.) I think that would be helpful.
However, depending on how large the document and how many sub-documents
there are, it might still be asking too much that the user should scroll
through all those documents. So, some kind of comprehensive reporting
could still be helpful.
