  Version 11.9 – Release Notes
  UI Improvements and Fixes: Due to a recent website update, some features have been fixed:
  - Online Citation has been fixed and now appears in the More Options dropdown menu in the action bar. In addition, the original reference and online citation can now be copied by clicking either one. This update also fixes an issue where the wrong document ID was displayed in some online citations.
  - Paragraph Link has been fixed and can once again open a paragraph in the app or online library.
  - Open in the App has been fixed and can once again open a publication or article in the app or online library.
  - Continue Watching now includes the time marker in the resume dialog box so users know which part of the video they will resume from. In addition, when a timestamp is defined in the URL, the resume dialog box will no longer appear, allowing users to play the video from the selected timestamp instead.
  - Control Panel now separates features that are not available for a specific website or device and shows a yellow N/A box to let users know they are not available, instead of showing a blank or unclickable OFF toggle. Features that are not available will no longer hide their feature information. In addition, some issues with the Control Panel have been fixed.
