Experience

Done

• The result of the A/B test on a simplified digitised content component on /works pages is that we’ve now switched to the B state because users appear to be more inclined to click to view with the new buttons #4977

• In releasing the above, Asian manuscripts are now also available on /works

• Online requesting is now available behind a toggle (if you have a Cognito account) #5132 / #5133, with components added to Cardigan #5193

• We’ve been putting in groundwork for 100% remote testing now that in-person testing is not possible #5172

• We’ve been been creating an annotated version of the Collections pages (search page, works page, works viewer page specifically) to help consolidate what the different components are called, giving them a really simplified description/purpose, and also thinking about how Cardigan can be improved with this information in the future. This will help to make sure we’re all using the same terminology/speaking the same language when referencing the components in conversations #5181

• There is now a dashboard available where people can look at the Digital Engagement departmental indicators #5143

• Single images can be downloaded from the viewer #4938
