  • Added the ability as an admin to select a single organizational region and set company-wide schedules for holidays and weekends, providing more transparency around team availability. These holidays and weekends display in the Plan > Calendar page and can be single days or recurring. Weekends display in light grey, and holidays display in red. See Apply organizational settings in Collaboration for information.

April

March

Delete Users

You can delete a user, but the activities and comments remain in the platform with the label (deleted) next to their name, such as "Jane Smith (deleted)."

Additionally, deleted users are accessible as a filter option in the Plan module's filter panel, making locating activities assigned to or owned by deleted users easy.

Recycle bin

Admins can restore a deleted hypothesis or hypothesis content, such as files, images, or URLs, from the recycle bin. See Restore deleted hypotheses and hypothesis content from the recycle bin.

Auto-complete Work Requests

When a Hypothesis is marked as complete, the corresponding Work Request automatically gets marked as completed.
