    Dear Sara

    (Sorry, I won't get your reply by email unless I give a vote here).

    We're on Primo VE and I stumbled over this, too:

    When you create a collection, you can check "Suppress from Discovery".

    But after the collection is created, there is no option to unsuppress via Alma -> Resources -> -> Manage Collections.

    This is a bug, if you ask me..

    ---

    There is however a way to change suppressed/visible:

    Each collection has an Alma entry with its title and an MMS-ID.
    You need to find it in Alma -> Edit Record -> Record Actions -> Remove the checkmark for "suppress". Then save and release the record.

    There is a discussion in the Primo mailing at the moment about cases where this change is not enough for some customers, but it works for us so far.

    I follow Orbis Cascade Alliance's "Primo VE Toolkit" – thank you so much for making it public! – and found this by Tamara Marnell:

    https://www.orbiscascade.org/programs/systems/pcsg/primo-ve-toolkit/same-tab-menu-links

    The full code by Jeremy McWilliams from Lewis & Clark College is available via
    https://github.com/alliance-pcsg/ve-central-package/blob/8fddeb8bc6624958572638a6c0b0d9cb3a4100ac/01ALLIANCE_NETWORK-CENTRAL_PACKAGE/js/custom.js#L1320

    In Tamara's words:

    "However, this functionality could be provided in a much better way by Ex Libris, because they have control over components we don't. This code uses intervals to repeatedly check whether the menu links exist until they do, then changes their target properties. It's very inefficient because we don't have a better way to do it through customization packages, but Ex Libris developers would."

    I completely agree – please fix this, Ex Libris. All main menu links should open within the browser tab, unless the user decides otherwise.

    Also, the active browser tab should be visually distinguished from the inactive ones.

    > That's external. It makes sense for it to be a new tab so that the user doesn't have to
    > navigate back to their search results.

    I don't agree. This should be the users' decision: if they want to open a link in a new tab, they can do so.

    (See also the two references in my first comment).

    Not "only" external links in the main menu should stay in the same tab, but also the help page.
