- For the soft launch there will be a number of changes to Hydra as it currently is
- Facet browsing will be improved prior to launch (More facet info)
- Search functionality will be extended to additional fields
- The display snippet for search results will be adjusted to show different fields. Creator term(s) will always show, not the generic term creator/maker.
- Blank/unused fields on an item page will be collapsed/hidden
- Sufia will be upgraded from 6.5 to 7.2 to support multi-item works
- Currently Anna is working on building a migration path for 6.5 to 7. Hasn't yet been done in the Hydra community.
- The lightbox display tool will be used initially after migration, but there is a goal to move to a IIIF compliant viewer, possibly before soft launch.
- Once a Sufia 7 migration is completed, Digital Collections team will provide training for catalogers on the new workflow.
