Include Request ID with problem reports

When reporting an issue with My Account or WorldCat Discovery, it's very helpful to include the Request ID. It can be found at the bottom of the screen on which the issue occurred. Including this information allows us to directly trace what happened on the request we are troubleshooting.

New enhancement

Expand and collapse search details for permanently saved searches

For libraries with WorldCat Discovery

When viewing saved searches, users now have the option to view each search in collapsed or expanded format, allowing them to access full details for their search. This experience has been redesigned to mirror the search history tab to better support a user’s journey within their account.  

Previously, users saw all details for saved searches and could not collapse the view.
