Freeing the Content Actions from their sidebar prison

If you've visited a Connexions module or collection since yesterday evening, you may have noticed that the Content Actions box has mysteriously disappeared. Don't worry, though-- its useful features have simply moved to different locations on the page!


Over the course of several feature-laden years, the Content Actions box has grown from a tiny list of helpful links to a gigantic hunk of repository real estate. In order to make each content page more user-friendly we've moved most of the Content Actions to a panel near the top of each page. There, you'll find the familiar links to download the document PDF, add the module to a lens (including My Favorites), and print the page.

Module ratings have been relocated under the module title, and a link to e-mail the module authors has also been added.

A few specific changes have taken place for collections. You can now order a hardbound copy of the collection by clicking the "Order printed collection" button. This link is now located on the right-hand side of any page within the collection. The "Previous" and "Next" links available while browsing a collection have been moved under the "Order printed collection" button.

We'd love to hear your feedback about the new Content Actions toolbar. Please leave us a comment with your thoughts or suggestions!
