When you search for a data item on hubs, you return a list of item matches

When you click an item you are taken to the explore page

I think instead you should be taken to the about page, where you can see the thumbnail image, description and all the other cool things you can do with the data.

You should include the API in the download button as an option. API is preferable to download - we'd like to know how many clicks we get and we'd like customers to stay up to date.

Example - "Explore" https://data.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/datasets/the-city-of-sydney-local-government-area-2/explore is the current default.

Would be better if it went to https://data.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/datasets/cityofsydney::the-city-of-sydney-local-government-area...

MattSund created this idea over 3 years ago, and the behavior in Hub is still the same. Can someone from Esri explain why clicking on a CSV content item would open the about page, but clicking on a feature layer would open the explore page? The explore page is not user friendly or descriptive about the dataset in the same way the about page is. We want users to use the Hub like a data catalog, and the about page provides more information at a glance.
