    Description

      With the recent change to allow for more advanced queries across several collection-level tabs in Compass (Schema, Documents, Explain), I think we need to re-organize the documentation a little and create a separate section/chapter for the Query Bar (or "Querying" / "Queries").

      I think this section could live under Collections, next to all the other collection-level views.

      • It should explain the (advanced) query bar with screenshots in collapsed and expanded state (e.g. from Documents view), and go through the 5 options filter, project, sort, skip, limit.
      • Provide details on the query (filter) language (strict extended json syntax, not shell syntax, at least until COMPASS-901 is implemented)
      • It should mention that sort and skip are not available on the schema view (currently listed as "known issues", but this is not a limitation, it just doesn't make sense to sort or skip on the schema view as the documents selection is random, this is "works as designed").
