Design Change: Restore “Open in Browser” Functionality for Compliance Document Links
When embedding document versions from Compliance onto a school website, the generated link currently causes the document to download rather than opening and displaying directly within the browser.
Previously, document links could be opened and viewed on screen without requiring the user to download the file. We would like this functionality to be restored across all document links.
This is particularly important for accessibility and ease of use. Users may be accessing documents from mobile devices, for example while boarding or attending off-site fixtures, and may have varying levels of IT confidence. Automatically downloading a document introduces an unnecessary additional step and may make the information more difficult to access.
