Content Consumption  - Updates

This is a large multi-cycle project that has spanned over 18 months to modernize the look and feel of article-level content  (blogs, wikis, forums, files, calendar events, and microblogs).  The redesign focuses on better utilization of space, emphasis on critical content information, and encourages more interactions.  

Key Changes and Highlights:

• A new single-column layout maximizes the content area.  Critical content metadata such as publish date, views, and followers now appear in line with the content.
• New channel link with follow icon to help viewers navigate back to the channel and/or follow the channel from the article-level. 
• Improved placement and styling of the Follow, Like, and Labels buttons aim to encourage more content interactions by making it easier and intuitive to like, subscribe or discover more on content topics. 
• New Icon and placement for Admin Action button. 
• Tabs for Comments and Related Content centralize important information and discussions to add context and value to the article content.
  *Note: When comments are turned off, the comments tab is hidden from viewers but is always visible for admins.
• Related Content displays more information making it easy for users to effectively discover and navigate to other helpful articles. 
• New Copy Link button makes it easier to share content.
• Attachments and recent activity have been given more area to properly display titles and critical content information.
• Minimization of tasks.
• Preview count only displays on the activity page.  It is important for content creators to see this information in context with user names and timestamps to fully understand the reach of the content.    
• Removal of Rating stars, Channel information, and Search bar.
  • Our research and data showed that these were underused elements that had limited value and took up a great deal of space on the page.
  • IMPORTANT NOTE: The Rating feature will be deprecated once the content consumption project is applied to all channels.  To turn this feature off early  - visit your Digital Workplace Admin Panel > Global Setting >Rating and uncheck the box.
