Aug 1, 2025In August 2025, delivered UI cleanup and reliability improvements in the NYPL/digital-collections Universal Viewer. Removed the Whole Image download option to simplify the interface and align with current usage patterns; updated the changelog to reflect the change. Fixed a bug to hide only the 'whole image' related elements by removing an unnecessary isCurrentView check, improving reliability and user experience. Impact includes reduced UI clutter, clearer product expectations, and fewer support questions related to downloading whole images. Demonstrated frontend JavaScript/DOM manipulation, UI/UX alignment, changelog/documentation rigor, and regression-safe fixes for the Universal Viewer.
