In this release:
Base navigation layout update
Cleaner layout for clear access to main navigation tabs with less clutter.
- User profile now appears at the top of the navigation, complete with profile image for easier customization.
- Sign Out options are moved to the bottom of the panel, separating them from other actions for clarity.
Course layout update
Courses now open in full-screen mode to maximize horizontal space and reduce clutter.
Why the change?
Focused improvements to address common usability challenges, based on user feedback, necessitated these changes to make clickUP more intuitive.
- Better use of screen space: The new layout avoids stacked panels that previously reduced content visibility.
- Fewer navigation errors: The “Exit (X)” button was prone to accidental clicks; removing the prominent X to leave a course means users will need to action an exit, rather than accidentally clicking the X.
- Improved performance: Changing from panels to pages aims to load content faster, as it removes the layering of panels.
- Clearer context: Simplified URLs and layout help users stay oriented to where they are in the course.
- Reduced motion issues: Removing panels and going to a full-page view means less layering of panels that promotes a more seamless navigation experience.
What is changing?
Course panels display as a full-screen page:
Courses now open in full-screen mode, maximizing horizontal space and reducing visual clutter.
- Home button replaces X: The traditional “X” to exit is now a Home button. This prevents accidentally closing the course.
- Course Switcher: A new Course Switcher provides streamlined navigation between courses, enabling users to quickly switch between courses.
- Full-Width Banner: The course banner spans the full width of the screen.
- Course Title and ID on the Banner: The course ID and title are now overlaid on the banner, freeing up vertical space and improving contextual clarity.
