Goal

Currently, we have three visualization modes in Documents and Media: cards, list (before known as descriptive view) and table. The goal of this story is to simplify the offering and stick to just two modes: cards and table. The list mode does not provide much value as it is not as visual as card and it does not provide the same information as the table.

Before removing it, we should take into consideration that the list mode is the one used for search results. Does this removal affect the search results?
