Major content library update

A new public update

(v0.4.0.91)

Hey folks! We’re here again with another public update. This time we’ve focused on improving content management in the Toolkit with a large update to the Content Library.

We have essentially rebuilt the Content library from the ground-up to provide a more seamless and unified experience with the rest of the Toolkit. Finding the content you’re after should now be significantly easier, and the wait times for content to load into the content library should now be near non-existent.

Next up we worked on the the global search function, with the many of the results now providing direct options to activate your content. Right-click options on search results will also now correctly reflect the selected content type. Finally, we made those small icons for map and note content more visible, if you hover over the title or image the toolkit now gives you a preview of them.

As usual we’ve done quite a lot of bug squashing, so your Toolkit experience should be ever more joyful!

We hope you enjoy the new update, and find it a lot easier to find what you’re looking for. Let us know how it goes for you, either by commenting on this post, or hitting us up on our various socials. The full patch notes are below.
