What is Floating Action Button?
The Floating Action Button (FAB) provides a single place for users to access Lean Library features while browsing academic content.
The redesigned FAB appears around the middle-right side of the webpage and displays the user’s institution logo. Depending on the services enabled by the institution and the information available for the article, it may provide access to:
- The Lean Library side tray
- Signals and Scite.ai research integrity information
- One-Click PDF
- Controls for collapsing or expanding the FAB
Please note: only features that are enabled and available on the current page will be displayed.

How do I open the side tray?
Click the institution logo on the Floating Action Button to open the Lean Library Side tray.
The Side tray brings relevant Lean Library information and tools together in one place. Depending on the page and the institution’s enabled services, this may include:
- Article access options
- Alternative versions of an article
- Research integrity information
- Library Assist Messages
- Other Lean Library tools and support options
The side tray can also be pinned, allowing it to remain open while the user continues browsing supported webpages (whithin the same tab).
How do I adjust Floating Action Button settings?
Users can collapse the Floating Action Button when they want to reduce the amount of space it occupies on the webpage. It can be expanded again whenever access to the available Lean Library features is needed.
