This part:

Be able to exclude an uploaded page from being OCRd

Did you meant here exclude entire document from being OCRed - which is exactly as https://github.com/ciur/papermerge/issues/598 ?

Or did you really meant to exclude specific pages from being OCRed ?
In last case, i.e. when you mean to exclude specific pages from OCRed - it is not possible to implement. It is either entire document (i.e. all pages in the document) or nothing.

I am also confused in regard to

shift-click to select multiple items (click one, shift-click a second one selects all documents between the two in addition to the two clicked)

did you mean "shift-click" for documents or for pages within the document ? Title of the ticket it "page management".

Shift click for pages within document. Say I needed 5 pages deleted. I would select the first page of the group, then go to the fifth page of the group, press shift key, and click that page. That would select that last page, and every page between it and the first page clicked.

I ran into the issue with a document with many pages that I needed to rotate by 90 degrees.
