==Navigation changes==
*A new core theme, Boost, bring with it important navigation and course editing changes.
*New courses using the Boost theme will no longer display blocks, in line with mobile app usage, although you may still add blocks if you need to.
*A nav drawer on the left replaces the navigation block and may be opened and closed to free up space.
[[File:docsTeacherNavigation.png|thumb|center|600px|The nav drawer]]
==Course editing==
*In the new Boost theme, a gear menu is present at the top of the course page.
*Here you can turn on editing andlocate other important aspects of the course.
* A 'More' link leads to course administration settings.
