Review date label updated
When viewing a review there is a date and time is displayed in the upper right of the screen as a subtitle. Previously this timestamp reflected when the most recent edit was made or most recent comment was added.
Going forward, this subtitle will display "Review created at: " followed by the original date and time when the review was created.
ESG
Configure dimension values for ESG Program metrics
In ESG Program, you can now choose which of a dimension's values to apply to a metric, such as to tailor its data collection to only specific sites of a Location dimension. From the metric's Configure Metric panel, simply click Manage metric dimensions, and select the dimension and values to apply.
Since you can configure metrics only when their tasks are not yet sent for data collection, you may need to first reset a metric's tasks to edit its dimensional values. Alternatively, you can continue to remove specific values from a metric without needing to reset all its tasks.
To learn more, view Configure an ESG Program metric's data collection.
Organization management
SCIM error messages update
We’ve updated our SCIM error messages to follow industry standards and make them clearer for users. This update will help users quickly understand the cause of an error and how to resolve it. Additionally, a complete list of SCIM error messages is now available on our support page, offering guidance to troubleshoot issues faster and reduce reliance on support.
For more information, visit our Manage and provision users with SCIM.
Updated organization settings
We have made the following changes to the Setting changed (this is related to who can create workspaces). The new action name is Organization Updated.
If you have any business logic built around this action, please review and adjust it.
Note: Some users may find reviewing the activities report from the export to be easier than reviewing this data in the UI.

Embedded Tables support has been added to the Prototype Content API!
You can use these new endpoints to:
- Get cells

- Get and create anchors
Additionally, you can edit the table itself with these operations:
- deleteColumns
- deleteRows

Edit ranges of cells by:

ESEF XBRL metadata
Additional metadata information can now be included in your ESEF taxonomy packages!
Previously, the metadata included only necessary information, but you can now include optional information, for example "Description".
