==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.
