Feature Request - Hide Button for Widgets and Content Editor
Posting behalf user -ashley.cabreros@cit.edu
We'd like to request the following features for the Course Content Editor:
Hide toggle button on each widget (next to shrink and delete buttons) - allows instructors to temporarily disable widgets without removing them
Three quick-action buttons on page cards - hide toggle, quick edit, and delete - for faster page management without navigating deep settings
Module-level hide button next to "suggest thumbnails" - to hide/show entire modules without deletion
Elementary education feature - Student password reset - allow teachers to reset student passwords directly for students who forget their login credentials, without needing to access their emails since parents are the ones who have access to the institutional email address
Many of our educators are not technical and have specifically requested these shortcuts. They need quick access to common actions without having to explore deep settings menus.
The student password reset feature would be better to discuss in detail during our online meeting.
These features would significantly improve the workflow of our educators and make the editor more accessible for non-technical users.
Please see the attached photos for visual samples of the suggested features:

The image shows a course module widget with three action buttons positioned in the top-right corner: a hide toggle button (eye icon), a shrink to half-width button (arrows icon), and a delete button (trash icon). The hide button toggles between eye and eye-off states to indicate whether the widget is hidden or visible, providing instructors with a quick way to disable widgets temporarily without removing them.
Content Editor with suggested HIDE, EDIT/REMOVE, and DELETE Button

The image shows "Module 1: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" with action buttons: "Suggest thumbnails" (sparkle icon), "Edit" (pencil icon), and a remove button (X icon). The suggested feature would add a hide toggle button next to "Suggest thumbnails" to allow instructors to hide/show entire modules without deletion.

I'm interested in the two images. What view is this? I've never seen OL look like either of these views. I'd like to know if I'm missing something!
