New Features

Publication of comments must be moderated by a site owner. Information on enabling comments is available in the Comments tutorial.
  • 4+ menu added to default menu: The 4+ menu was originally launched with the mega menu feature but is now also used on the default menu. This provides easier navigation for sites with deep menu structures. Site owners can choose whether to set the menu open or closed by default.
  • Remove button styling from circle column icon paragraph: users can now opt to omit the button styling for this paragraph on desktop.
  • Linked site title and footer logo: The site title is now linked to a site's homepage. The Queen's footer logo has been updated to link to the Queen's main site. 
  • Updated logos: The Queen's header and footer logos have been updated to be more legible as part of the brand architecture refresh. More details will be released by University Relations on expectations for other usage across print and digital communications.
