New features
The Tools panel
Choosing Tools in the account menu swaps the menu for a compact grid of icon links. Explore holds The Tour and Version History, Utilities holds The Lab and The Vault, and Administration holds Admin for administrators only. It works with the keyboard and screen readers, a Tools back row returns to the account menu, and choosing a link closes the menu.
Improvements
Fewer rows in the account menu
The separate Tour, Version History, Lab, Vault, Admin, What’s new and Customization rows were removed. What’s new remains on the megaphone button in the top bar, and Customization remains in the Settings sidebar. Every page keeps its address and access rules.
