As others have recommended, the new layout is extremely inefficient as half of the reading space is taken up with the search bar, header, subheader, and navigation links; and it stays there as you scroll down. The following should be done to improve functionality: 1. Move up the search bar to be in line with the AO surgery reference logo. It does NOT need to be underneath with additional space. 2. As one scrolls down, the Header/Subheader should disappear. We know what we selected and what we're reading. It only needs to be at the top and currently, takes up a significant amount of space for no reason. It inhibits the ability to read. Please see the attached image for a preview of how much more space is available. Image on Left: Original. Image on Right: updated version.

Harald Admin MergedTo get more screen space to read the AO SR content, it would be great if the navigation bar (the line with the numbered steps) and the arrows at the bottom of the page would fade out when scrolling down. This would give "more screen" when reading. They could reappear when scrolling up again. This is the behavior you see in most mobile browsers as well.

Dani MergedI completely agree. On my laptop at the moment and the top half of the screen is essentially useless and covered with the search bar (useful), main header (e.g. tibia), sub header (e.g. simple transverse), & navigation bar (e.g. 5/11 guidewire insertion).
The headers are NOT necessary other than at the top of the page. I don't need to be reminded &waste half a page to know that I selected a transverse tibia #. Actually reading the content is more useful. It should disappear as you scroll down -

Manager AO SR Admin MergedDear Dani, thank you for your comment, and especially for being so specific. I see your point and it is absolutely valid. Let's see how many votes this one gets... In the meantime, by pressing Crtl and scroll either up or down on the mouse, you can adjust the zoom of the page a bit. This might be useful. Best regards, Lars.

Manager AO SR AdminThank you for your feedback Emile, and especially for being so specific. Your point is taken and absolutely valid. The urgency of fixing this will partially depend on the amount of upvotes this and other related comments get.
Meanwhile, if you modify the zoom of your browser a bit, this might help.. -

TomiI completely agree with this suggestion. The image really emphasizes the amount of space being lost

FelixTellement bonne idee!
I would pin this comment immediate! It is difficult with the laptop to see all the content. The mobile version does this already me thinks! -

GeorgeGreat idea. The current space is really inefficient and blocks 50% of the screen.

Manager AO SR AdminDear George, may I suggest that you chage the zoom level of your browser to 100 or 90%? I think you will find that this improves the readability. Exactly how to do this will depend on your browser and you might need to google it. Otherwise please check: https://surgeryreference.aofoundation.org/further-reading/faq
