Flexible interface designs help increase user productivity. Part of their useful also comes from reacting in certain ways to hardware devices and the operating systems they are running on. How a user sets up their work environment across these screens and using these systems also plays a role.
Here are 3 quick and basic tips that all users should be aware of. You may intuitively know about these elements when you see them. But incase you've always wondered, we'll explain 3 of them here.
Normally when you log in to dominKnow | ONE the authoring interface opens in the same browser tab as the log in page.
But if the log in browser window is small enough (less than 720px high or 1024 px wide) it will trigger the authoring interface to open in a new Browser window of its own.

We are starting to leave commit notes that comment on an update made but wonder how we might leverage the dashboard further to know if updates were made and if a new export is neede...

We have developed a course in comic strip style (on Flow) where the speech bubble (callout) and the text inside it, are layered on the base image. When viewed on the smaller devices, this text is getting overlapped or overflowed. We were suggested to add a new label altogether for all the overflowing text elements for the smaller devices (which is a lot of work considering there are more than 100 screens). So, we are looking for other workarounds, or is there a way to disable or restrict the ...
