Improvement to Edit Links on Title Pages
What's changing
We've improved how edit links work on title pages. When you click an edit link for a section, you'll now see a drop-down list showing every editable datatype visible in that section. Select the one you want to edit, and the contribution panel opens as usual.
Why we made this change
Previously, clicking an edit link opened a list of editable datatypes generated from our back-end system. This list didn't always match the data items you could see in the section, which could make it harder to find the right option. Now, every visible datatype is directly selectable from the drop-down — what you see on the page is what you can edit.
What stays the same
- The contribution panel experience remains unchanged
- All the same datatypes are still editable
- No changes to how you submit or save your contributions
What you need to do
Nothing — this improvement applies automatically. The next time you click an edit link on a title page, you'll see the new drop-down list in place of the previous panel-based list.
Let us know if you have questions!

So according to these pictures you have also removed the
ADVANCED
"Classic Editor"
section at the bottom
As seen in picture 1 and not in picture 2?
Was that by intent or by accident?
(I'm going by the pictures here since the change is not rolled out to me when I test.)

Hello again.
Regarding the "Edit links" that leeds to the sidebars.
Can someone help me remember.
Did there not used to be a "help link" or a "?" Question-mark that led to the help pages for the thing being edited in the sidebar?
I added a Genre now via the sidebar, and was looking for the help link with description for the different genres, but I see no ? or similar.
Is it something that has been lost in the resent changes to the edit options?
