If you are a regular user of our you may have noticed some changes within the system.

Figshare’s major release for September has seen some changes to several core user pages including the ‘My Content’, Project, and Collection pages. Updates have introduced some new features and have brought the user interface for creating data items, projects and collections into alignment with the public browse and search pages within Figshare, making the user experience more consistent across the system.

Key updates:

My Content

• ‘My data’ has been replaced with ‘My content’. To support easier navigation and improve display on smaller screens, the pages are no longer displayed using a tab structure and have been moved into a specific ‘My content’ menu in the header.

Items

• The display of a user's personal Items has been moved to a new ‘Items’ page. The look of the page has been refined, ensuring consistency with other parts of the system.
• Key actions for Items have been made more prominent. This includes the ‘Edit’ option and the introduction of an actions menu that provides the option to ‘Preview’, 'Move to/from project’ and ‘Submit for review’ or ‘Publish’, and ‘Delete’.
• Filters have been introduced for the Item’s ‘Status’, ‘Item type’ and associated ‘Project’, as well as the ability to sort alphabetically by title.
• The workflow for adding Items now includes an ‘Upload and configure’ overlay that is used to capture key information prior to moving to the edit Item page. The option to import data from GitHub is also present on this overlay, ensuring that users have access to this functionality as part of the creation step, and highlighting this functionality to new users.

Projects

• Projects are now accessed via the ‘My content’ menu. A user’s Project list, create and edit pages, and Project information have been aligned with the existing edit Item page.
• There are additional ways to invite collaborators and add items to a Project.
• Project ‘notes’ are now called ‘comments’.

Collections

• Collections are now accessed via the ‘My content’ menu. The list of a user's Collections, the Collection edit page, and the private Collection landing pages have been aligned with the existing edit Item page.
• Where a DOI has been assigned to a Collection, this is included in the Collection details tile, from where it can be copied easily.
• Users can select which version of an Item they would like to add to a Collection.
