- The Home Button on the 2023 copyrights and newer editions will send a user back to the bookshelf home page.
- When using a G-W title that is a 2023 copyright or newer, a user may be viewing the Online Textbook Reflowable. We have noticed that the functionality and scrolling of this digital textbook works better in Google Chrome than in Safari.
