Content Map remembers expanded folders when navigating back

When you open a resource from the Content Map and then use the Back button to return, the folders you had expanded will remain open. This makes it easier to continue from the same place without having to expand the folder structure again.

If you leave the Content Map, for example by navigating to Resources or Trash can, the folders will be collapsed the next time you open the Content Map.

Course description block: Improved placeholder image

The course description block is used in Information hub courses and Self-paced learning courses. We have updated the placeholder image in the course description block to use a 2:1 aspect ratio, ensuring it matches the proportions of actual uploaded images and takes up less space.

Improving course setup for teachers

We want to better support new and experienced teachers when setting up their course. As a first step, we are updating the empty state card for plans on the course homepage. There will be one card for courses with no plans, and another card for courses that contain plans without a date. Each card will include a link to an external information page where teachers can learn more about plans. The cards will only be visible to teachers.

Page: Permanently delete content blocks immediately

Teachers can now permanently delete a content block directly from its More options (...) menu. A confirmation is shown before deletion.

This provides a quicker alternative to first archiving a content block and then deleting it from the Archive.

Improved navigation when using plans

To simplify navigation and meet accessibility requirements, the global menu and course menu now remain visible when opening a single plan page, play plan, or the table view.
