While the new staff interface design is beautiful, big enhancements like the shift of cataloguing tools out of Tools Home requires process changes and training, which takes time. It would be good to be able to enable those tools to show in Tools Home again to ease the transition.

Should not we add a tooltip/info at the top of the page about the change, instead of adding all the links back?
This library requested the cataloguing tools to be back in the Tools home. They don't use the cataloguing home page.

This (kind of) deserves a vote. We cannot keep moving things back and forth depending on who asks. It is not sustainable. I suggest a vote is proposed for a meeting and we do that. If it doesn't work for you, last resort could be just injecting the entries using a plugin to ease things.

Created attachment 148947 [details] [review] Bug 32731: [alternate] Move cataloging tools to an include This patch moves the cataloging tools to an include, which is then added with a toggle to the tools homepage. This allows for the content to be on both pages, and can easily be hidden or shown by default. It ensures we don't have to maintain the same links in two places To test: 1 - Apply patch 2 - Ensure cataloging home page looks the same 3 - Ensure you can view/hide the cataloging tools on the tools page
Haven't applied Nick's alternate yet but sounds like a better option. I had thought about moving the HTML to an include so glad I'm not the only one thinking that way.
I also haven't had a chance to test but it sounds like a great alternative.
