User story
As a user wishing to conserve data, when syncing reading lists I want to be able to stop downloading articles to my device so that I can just keep the reading lists record without wasting data usage.
Current behavior
When a user syncs their reading lists to their device, the articles are all default automatically being saved for offline.
Proposed solution
Show the progress of saving articles offline as a Notification in the system status bar, and allow the user an explict action to "Cancel" saving articles offline. If the Cancel action is pressed, any remaining pages that haven't yet been saved shall be marked as online-only.
Example downloading articles offline notification:
Ideally we can show the top-most notification with actions to pause or cancel, else the second notification with just a progress and "tap to cancel" action.
Scenario A. First time a user initializes sync on a new device
When a user logs on to a new device or a second device for the first time, it is likely that there is a large number of articles being queued for download.
Scenario B. Day-to-day syncing behavior
Each time a user logs into the app, if they have added an article to the reading list from web or another device, it will also show a notification as the sync occurs.
