Currently the course index is available on the course page and when within activities. Some user feedback has been received suggesting the course index should also be available when on the other course pages such as 'settings', 'participants', 'grades', etc.
I attached a screen recording to this issue. When switching back and forth between the course page and other pages (settings, etc) we are jumping between showing the course index (when open in the course page) and not (elsewhere). This feels a bit disorienting and also causes the secondary nav to shift. I tend to agree that keeping it open on the other pages (when open on the course page) is preferable.
Agreed to go ahead and introduce the course index on all other course pages
