Enable us to change which reading list item a digitisation is linked to

Currently, once a digitisation is linked to a reading list item, it cannot be unlinked/relinked to a different reading list item. This is highly frustrating. To would very useful if a digitisation could be unlinked/relinked to another reading list...

Enable the possibility for updating the hierarchy via API

Addition to 'importance' options

We generate reports based on importance not set to aid ordering workflows. Some lists contain items such as databases and so the importance options are not relevant. Could an additional 'importance' option such as 'Online resource' or 'Library res...

Separate 'Report Broken link' button for online resources

The 'Report broken link' option for students is buried in the item menu, and is often hard for them to find. One of the ways we promote TA to academics is the ability for us to fix links without their intervention, but this requires them to educat...
