Change how permalinks work
The permalinks provided by Primo do not link to a specific Alma record; instead, they save the result of a search in Primo. This means that when we copy a permalink for a title included in a course, what we are doing when using it is initiating a search for that title in the recommended bibliography collection. Therefore, if that title is no longer included in a course, the permalink we had copied stops working. This is not very useful.
We request that the permalinks provided by Primo be truly permanent and always direct to that Alma record, without changes. Or, at least, that the search launched by the permalink is always within the complete collection and never within the recommended bibliography collection.

Is this specific to when the item is in a course? I'm not seeing the described behaviour otherwise (as we don't use courses), as the permalink is by the ID. There is a variable by the differing key for aspects like the view, so maybe that is what is meant if this changes by course?
