User Story
As a press manager, I can navigate from a given journal's manager into the plugin interface and then into a stylesheet for a different journal.

This results in a URL that includes journal information for both journals. The page header also specifies a different journal than the journal specified in the card title:

This can make you think twice about which journal you are actually working on. And if the link is shared, the context of the previous page where you click on one journal in a list doesn't help you.

Proposed solution
Improve navigation and contextual cues by making three changes:

  • As a press manager, I'm given a clear and easy way to navigate between the press-level and journal-level plugin menus
  • At the press level, I can see all the stylesheet options, including cross-journal stylesheets, the press stylesheet, and individual journal stylesheets. When I click on a journal stylesheet, I'm taken into the journal context for that sheet, so the journal information is only in the URL once.
  • At the journal level menu, I am only presented with links for the cross-journal stylesheets that apply to the current journal as well as the stylesheet for the current journal

Alternatives
Rework the URL template tags in the menu template so that the user is redirected to the journal context for the appropriate journal before the rest of the URL is built.

Context
This may help with the implementation of #3
