We made several usability improvements for Documents. 

  • For uploaded files, we've restored the default of View and Download in the Edit File Options
  • If there isn’t enough space when resizing blocks with keyboard navigation, the option to expand right is hidden.
  • The Redo button now continues to display and function after removing an HTML block. 
  • The cursor function works as expected when dragging a block. 
  • We've restored the Content Collection option in the Insert content + in the Content block. 
  • For institutions that have not enabled support for the Content Designer for Documents, we've restored the option to generate a question bank directly from a Document. 

For administrators: A new configuration option is on the Ultra configuration page in the Administrator Panel: “Enable support for customizing Ultra document layouts.” The default state is on.
