Cidi Labs Design Tools Release Notes

April 1, 2021

Overview

Relatively small release this month

New Features

 New Hidden Gem

A new Partial Progress Bar Hidden Gem is available which utilizes the indented heading structure of a module to provide a more focused view of sections within a module.

Updated or Modified Features

 Editor Positioning

The top of the editor will now be set at the top of the screen when adding when adding content blocks or using some of the other Design Tools features like Key Action Items in Canvas content where there are additional settings or other information below the editor. Previously, when the content was scrolled into view, it would often move much of the editor out of view.

 Focus Indicator on Tabs Updated: 03/23/2021 

A clear focus indicator has been added to the active tab heading when using a keyboard to navigate a page.

Example of tab focus indicator

 Improved Authorization Error Messages for Multi Tool and Legacy UEI Updated: 03/05/2021 

When the Multi Tool or the legacy Upload/Embed Image tool encounters an authorization error occurs, a screen will appear that relays the error returned by Canvas and the user can view the LTI Authorization Errors page to find solutions for common errors.

Bug Fixes

 Module List Classes on the Unordered List

Classes added to the  ul  in the Module List in the content editor will persist when changes are made using the Module List Tool.

For example, the Large Link Grid Hidden Gem was built so that it could also be applied to Module List. However, making a change in the Module List tool removed the class that adds the style.
