View As is now one control, at the bottom of every page

Starting a View As session, seeing who you currently are, moving to the next person and getting back to your own view all happen in one place: a small control at the bottom right of every page. When you are not using it, it is a single quiet icon that names itself when you hover it or reach it with the keyboard. When you are viewing as someone, it shows their name and their role the whole time, with a switch and a way back beside them.

Before this, the way in was an entry at the foot of the sidebar and the way out was a strip across the top of the page. Starting a session meant travelling to one corner of the screen and leaving it meant travelling to the other, and the strip took a row of height from every page you looked at for as long as the session lasted. On a screen share it read as a system banner sitting above whatever you were trying to show. That row is now back with your content.

One thing behaves differently rather than just moving. On a tenant that is not a demo tenant, you can now switch straight from one person to another without leaving View As first — previously that shortcut only existed on demo tenants. Every switch is still recorded as its own entry, the same as starting a session has always been.

Nothing about access changed. View As is still admin-only, still limited to your own organisation, and entering and leaving a session is still recorded against both you and the person you are viewing. On a tenant that is not a demo tenant, an active session is still shown as an amber warning rather than as presenter styling, and it stays open — there is nothing to fold it away.
