  • Displaying a "Copy" button directly on pages that you can copy.

  • Internal Media block now uses HTML5 instead of Flash

  • Size of "My pages" block can be customized 

  • New themes

  • General usability improvements

  • Journals on group, institution and site level

  • Direct replies to feedback comments

  • Displaying collections instead of collection pages on the dashboard, profile and in "Shared with me" * Adding artefact feedback directly on a page.
