Issue/Question
How do I toggle Compatibility View in Internet Explorer?
Environment
Cause
Compatibility View may fix problems such as out-of-place menus, images, or text on web sites that were designed for older web browsers. Compatibility View may also cause issues with current web sites such as Blackboard.
Resolution
WKU ITS no longer recommends or supports the use of Internet Explorer. For better results, use a web browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari.

To toggle Compatibility View on or off, click on the Compatibility View button (the broken page icon) on the right side of Internet Explorer's address bar.
For Internet Explorer Version 11+
