What we shipped

  • The first Faculty to transition into the Content Publisher is now live. You can browse the new Faculty of Engineering & Design section here.
  • Improved layout consistency by updating the vertical rhythm and typographic scale
  • Improved the legibility of long pages by updating the sizing for all our headings
  • Content that appears in the sidebar on large screens no longer butts up against the edge of the sreen on small screens
  • When a publisher updates a content item which doesn't belong to their organisation it no longer changes which organisation owns it
  • Publishers can now choose the ordering of people listed in Team Profiles
  • Changed our titling of "Team members" on Team Profile pages to be more generic
  • Provided a sitemap.xml file to make sure that all our pages published by Content Publisher are indexed by Google and on-site search
  • We handled 15 items of content support including:
    • updates to visa pages to point to new Tier 4 booking system
    • updates UG funding pages to reflect funding on offer for 2017 entry
    • updates to UG tuition fees pages
    • found alternatives to Vimeo for video content aimed at audiences in China
  • resolved 143 incoming requests for support

What we're going to ship

  • Improve layout consistency between different screen sizes
  • Increase the amount of spacing underneath embedded media content
  • Allow publishers to re-order members of a Team Profile by drag-and-drop
  • Add new subtypes to Team Profiles
  • Change the ordering of the 'Enquiries' and 'Address' fields on Department pages to make their location more predictable
  • Improve our testing by automating data transfer between our staging and production systems
  • The first part of allowing publishers to put a content item into preview without requiring it to enter the Review state
