A recent update to the text editor box in Drupal webpages enabled the ability to use a wider variety of numbered list styles in the WYSIWIG than were previously available. Anything outside the standard 1. 2. 3. number styles previously required source code access to implement, but now additional options of I. II. III., i. ii. iii., a. b. c., and A. B. C. are available in the dropdown in the editor. You can also nest these as needed depending on your content.

The UCM web team is currently doing the 2026 audit of documents linked to on the ohio.edu Drupal website. You may have already been contacted by us, or you may be in the near future with department specific deadlines. We need all decisions for action on documents before the April 24 deadline from the Department of Justice. What this means is we simply need a plan for what needs done with the documents (keep/remediate, transition into webpages, transition into digital form, delete). We will continue to work with units to move forward on the actual updates after the April deadline.

In this last round of document updates, the UCM web team has received questions about whether this ruling applies to documents behind SSO. The short answer is: yes, even documents behind SSO need to be accessible. If a document is linked to from the Drupal website, it needs to be accessible. (We recognize there are select units/documents that have received exemptions – you already know who you are.) 

Reminder: Editors and Publishers can no longer upload or delete documents from the Drupal system. To do so, complete the UCM Request Form: Choose “I have a specific marketing request”, then Web, then Document Management. Review the document process and best practices on Manage Documents in the Website Help Hub.

The UCM web team has compiled some tips and tricks for website navigation menus for editors and publishers to reference when updating their website. In general, publishers should not significantly rework their top menu without first consulting UCM for support. Menu changes could also impact the URL structure of your webpages, and deeply impacts user experience; we are here to help!
