It's a small update designed to make course building easier and more intuitive!   While the tools you rely on remain the same, their organisation has been streamlined.   ## What's New In The Widget Toolbar? #### ![Screenshot 2025-12-16 at 3.15.04 pm](https://blog.openlearning.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-12-16%20at%203.15.04%20pm.png?width=3790&height=1780&name=Screenshot%202025-12-16%20at%203.15.04%20pm.png) #### **1. Reorganised sections** We’ve streamlined the [widget toolbar](https://help.openlearning.com/category/whatarewidgets) by grouping related widgets more logically. Advanced and Social Tools widgets are now under the **Core** dropdown, while the Gallery widget is now under the Advancedsection. This reduces duplication and makes it easier to find what you need.   #### **2. Clearer section names** To better reflect how widgets are used, some sections have been renamed. For example, **Posting** is now **Activities** — a clearer description of the learning experiences being created.   #### **3. A dedicated space for exams** The Exam widget has moved into its own **Examinations** section, making assessment setup clearer and more structured.   #### **4. Removal of legacy widgets** Widgets that are no longer in use have been removed to keep the toolbar focused, clean, and future-ready. ![New Updates To Widget Toolbar - Socmed Post cropped 2](https://blog.openlearning.com/hs-fs/hubfs/New%20Updates%20To%20Widget%20Toolbar%20-%20Socmed%20Post%20cropped%202.png?width=690&height=500&name=New%20Updates%20To%20Widget%20Toolbar%20-%20Socmed%20Post%20cropped%202.png)   ## Why This Matters?
