Player Resources Improvement
A minor but very welcome improvement would be to add dividers and headers to the in-built Resources tab in the player. That would allow us to sort and label resources better within the default player.

That would be a helpful feature!
Given the limitations of the built-in Resources (and Glossary), I prefer putting those in a custom tab that lightboxes a slide with that info. That allows you to organize and present the links with whatever names, descriptions, and/or images you want.
This post has details about how to do that: TIP: Create Custom Player Tabs for Your Resources, Glossary, and More | Articulate - Community
Note: One drawback to this method is that you can't hide custom tabs on only some slides (for example, if you don't want the resources available during a quiz). Well, okay, if you search the community, you might find a way to do that with JavaScript. But I can't help with that.
I am not sure if this works for me because of accessibility hiccups with the lightboxes, but I appreciate the tip!
You don't have to lightbox the slides. The custom tab could jump to the slide. Hide the NEXT button. I'd also hide the PREV button. Instead, I'd put a button on the slide that jumps to the previous slide.
For simplicity, I'd also put the Resources slide into a separate scene. That makes it super easy to remove from the built-in Menu if you're showing that.
