From version 2023.8

There are no architectural or configuration changes.
However, there is a minor interface behavior change for the hyperlink feature described below.

Interface

Behavior Change

An important improvement has been made to the hyperlink feature.
Previously, when the user clicked on a hyperlink annotation, it would enter edit mode, and hovering over the hyperlink would display a submenu with two buttons:

• A button to open the hyperlink explorer.

• A button to directly access the page/URL linked to the hyperlink.

In the current version, this behavior has been changed:

• Clicking the hyperlink now directly redirects the user to the linked page or URL.

• Hovering over the hyperlink now displays a submenu with two buttons:

  • A button to open the hyperlink explorer.

  • A button to edit the hyperlink.

This new setup aims to improve the user experience by clearly separating the action of navigating to the linked page from the action of editing the hyperlink.
