Description

HI All,

I have been working with several faculty over the last few weeks who are using groups to teach. For some reason, they have all been confused by the layout/design of the groups Manage sub-menu. I think the main point of confusion is that they don't understand that submenu (in green in screenshot) is essentially a drop down submenu of the manage option.

I am hoping we might talk through some design options to make this menu more visibly to the main nav menu in a group, maybe be using a gray background and gray "tab" background behind "manage" to connect the menus visually.

I would also like to suggest we remove "digital research tools" from the group "manage" menu. DRT are not widely used and, as far as i can tell, the DRT disable/enable option does not change anything about the group.

Thank you for surfacing this - I love actual user feedback so this is really important.

Here is an option - do you think something like this would address their concerns?

About the "Manage > Digital Research Tools" menu, we still have the Tapor Client plugin activated, which is why this menu item is showing up. Boone, do we still need this plugin activated? If so, I can write a code snippet to remove this menu item. If not, let's deactivate the Tapor Client plugin.

For the new styling for the Groups submenu, we would probably want to mirror the same change to the Users submenu too right?
