Extension: Improved Highlighting Functionality
Web Governance has simplified and improved the way highlighting works in the Web Governance Extension to deliver a more consistent and reliable user experience.
Previously, when users clicked the Highlight button a transparent overlay layer was applied across the entire website, with highlighted borders and an orange background. The border colors varied by module, and the implementation often conflicted with page or CMS styles.
Now, highlights are applied directly to the target element with a uniform red border, regardless of module. This streamlined approach reduces complexity, minimizes errors, and ensures cleaner compatibility with website styles.
