Improvements to the Safari Books Online User Experience

Favorites and Folders, Improvements to the Safari Books Online User Experience

New Sitewide Navigation:

Our new top navigation has been reworked to allow more direct access to useful features. What was previously contained under "My Safari" has now been pulled to the surface, so your Favorites & Folders, Notes & Tags, Bookmarks and Reviews are always a click away.

To access your recent views, account information, Tokens & Downloads or to sign out, just click on your name at the top right corner of the screen.

We've also brought recent searches, suggested search terms, and Advanced Search into the search field at the top right.

Nested Lists of Favorites:

We've made improvements to your Favorites & Folders area. You asked for the ability to have multiple levels of organization for saved titles, and now you have it. You can now create nested Folders and Lists.

What used to be contained in your Folders is now contained in "Lists." Lists are the simplest level of organization and contain your favorite book and video titles. You can organize your lists into a nested Folder structure. You can also organize your Smart Lists (saved searches) with your regular lists.
