This release is focused on improving the user experience. Cidi Labs contributed most of the code for this release in response to requests from their customers, and we are extremely grateful for this contribution. If you are attending CanvasCon next week, please visit them at their virtual booth!
Now, on to the changes. The first one you will notice is that the Content and Scan for lists have been moved into an accordion widget titled Scanning Options. The widget is positioned above the Scan This Course button in order to closely follow the layout of previous versions of UDOIT.
When the scan is complete, the Welcome to UDOIT! and Scanning Options boxes will collapse, conserving vertical space.
The report view has changed significantly. Each section of the course where errors or suggestions were found will be listed on the left side. The section selected when the scan completes is the Summary, which allows the user to show or hide all errors or suggestions or individual errors or suggestions in the report.
Selecting the Pages item in the left menu shows the portion of the report related to Pages. The interface should be familiar from this point on.
The Unscannable Files section now detects more types of unscannable files. These file types are customizable, so you can add to or remove from to the defaults if you so desire.
