Main Menu Changes
  • The position of the site information and the current page was relocated to be more visible. The actions “undo” and “redo” were hidden since they can be found as instructions in the keyboard shortcut menu.
  • The controls menu will be placed at the top to avoid overlapping with the side menu of the site when it is active. The actionable icons of the page menu have been hidden and will only appear when hovering over each page to avoid overwhelming the user navigation. The delete page icon has been removed from the menu since the delete option is located within the submenu of each page.
