Someone recently recommended this module to me as I wanted ajax behaviour/history when using the search api with a search api/solr view.

I did eventually manage to install and enable but found this a little trickier than it could be. The main issues I faced were:

  1. There is no README in the module to explain how to enable the module.
  2. The actual checkbox to enable this is hidden away in the View UI.

I have added a screenshot to demonstrate this last point.

Now I know where it is it's fine, however, I do feel that it might be better to show this button (perhaps greyed out or hidden is ajax is NOT enabled) at the top level.

Then in README you could explain that the option to enable the behaviour is under the advanced setting tab.

It looks like a README has been added, but that the configuration has been moved.

From https://git.drupalcode.org/project/views_ajax_history#installation:

[...] "Advanced" section, select "Views Ajax History" as the pager type.

Correct steps?
Advanced > Other > Use AJAX > AJAX history - Enable Views AJAX history.

Can someone in the know please mention on the project page or docs what the plan is for this module, now that this feature has been added to core: Enable bookmarking of AJAX views.

Looks like that is going into 11.3, so there will be some sites that will want to keep using this until they upgrade. After that, are there any features in the module that are still useful? What will be the upgrade process when we move to 11.3?
