Work bench now on series page

As Nevov noticed ( https://www.librarything.com/topic/340032#7788381 ), the pop-up for adding books to series now includes anything in your workbench.

My goal is to make the workbench more generally useful, and this is a set in that direction. More generally, we have code that will allow you to add to your workbench works on the page of another website—so you can go to AwesomeMysteries.com and pick up all the books in a series, and then plop them into LT. But that's not public yet.

And if you're looking for ways to improve the workbench, I'd like the option to return to the combine from workbench page after combining works instead of the combine potentials page.

Even if they're not catalogued here? That will make some folks very happy!

Ooh, shiny!

Can we have the add to workbench functionality on author combine/separate pages?

Seconded, please!! The current method is especially annoying combined with this bug: https://www.librarything.com/topic/297855 which can often make the combine potentials page miles long.

Can someone explain what the workbench is for and how to make use of it? Maybe it's a frill that I don't need...?

>6 VicRML: It is used to assist with building series and for combining. It is not something that you must use or that will help your own collection directly. :)

Thanks to the spammer for alerting me to this feature. I've seen that pop-up lots of times lately, but the presence of the workbench never really registered!
