Tweak announcement: Redesign of the highlight menu for logged-in users

Hey everybody!

New update about an upcoming feature that you will see tomorrow in our wikis:

Tweak: Redesign of the highlight menu for logged-in users

Launching: [Updated] Nov 29, 2023

Premise: We will redesign the highlight menu based on the results of the last experiment. This will help to see more searches from our users, facilitating the discoverability of our content, and also will add a new edit entry point from this menu.

Data: We added a highlight menu in the content area with options to search for specific pieces of content some months ago. This resulted in an increase in the number of searches, and proved to be an excellent way to address our readers to key tools as the editor.

In a previous experiment, we saw an increase in search activity (+13% among those logged-in users highlighting the text) after redesigning this menu, so we want to officially release it for all the logged-in users.
