Description

It would be more efficient to have a link on the course homepage (instructors only) for them to report issues in the book on the authors page instead of on the Runestone mono repo. That way I don't have to tag authors if people use that link.

  • on course home page
  • maybe also on the help menu...

Research direction

Start at the instructor-only course homepage and inspect the existing authors-page bug-report path, then check whether the help menu is implemented alongside it. Done means instructors can reach the authors page to report textbook issues from the course homepage, with the help-menu link included if appropriate.
