May 2026 Release Notes

These changes are designed to make it easier for users to find content, understand offerings, and navigate the platform more efficiently.
User Experience Improvements

We hope users enjoy the new design and find it easier to interact with the platform.

April 2026 Release Notes
Subscription and Purchaser Experience Improvements
Purchaser Subscription Workflow Fixed
Purchaser role functionality has been corrected to align with the intended workflow. Purchasers who buy subscriptions on behalf of others no longer receive access to library content after checkout. Instead, they are now provided with redemption codes corresponding to the number of seats purchased, which can be distributed to end users.
User Role Enhancements
Updated Primary Role Options
The Primary Role selections during account creation have been refined to better reflect user responsibilities and organizational needs. The updated role options are:
