The browsers show summary widget details but there is no visual
affordance that they can be clicked on to get the full view.

A small button or > icon in the title should do

I managed to parse this request in the end, and will address it.

However, I have a request. Can you please take a little longer to
articulate what you actually mean. You seem to be using language which
is alien to me:

e.g. "browsers show summary widget details" really means "the widgets
to browse through items show summary details"

Thanks.

Ross

OK - will aim to be more precise - fighting with weird cashing

It already has the "+" Symbol which turns to a "-" symbol when
expanded. This is standard behaviour for these kinds of accordion
devices. In addition the first item is expanded by default which I
believe provides a further clue.

The ">" you propose is usually used to indicate that you will be
navigating to a different screen.

I suggest we leave this as is and see if it causes problems in the
usability testing.

OK - it considered it would be found during testing. Always good to
leave them something to find and report - stops them looking too hard
