To make better use of browser window real estate, the new layout arranges components horizontally and removes the navigation. It shows evaluators submissions on the left and space to evaluate the submissions on the right in a format that allows evaluators to grade a list of students with submissions defined by criteria set on the folders submissions page. In place of the navigation bar, navigation links to all the things you might need when evaluating submissions have been added.

Making Viewing Users Submissions Better
The layout has two primary panels. The left panel is dedicated to submissions for a specific user or group. The redesigned list calls attention to the options available for the file and displays a file type icon to quickly understand they type of file submitted.dropbox - feedback

View Documents in the Browser/ File Conversion Tool (New Platform Feature)
A major goal for this redesign was to enable users to view documents in their browser without having to download them. This reduces issues with evaluators not having the appropriate software to view common file types, or issues with downloading and managing multiple copies of documents.dropbox - feedback document previewer

The in-line document viewer is powered by the platform's document viewer and conversion tools. It supports the viewing of a variety of file types, some of which are converted locally. Unlike systems that send student submissions to hosted third party services to convert for in-browser rendering,

Learning Environment converts supported file types locally into images and HTML/text versions where required prior to display.
