Authentication

The platform now supports multiple authentication models, allowing users to sign in using Google, LinkedIn, Active Directory, or a passwordless magic link delivered by email, with built-in support for single sign-on (SSO). These options are based on modern identity standards to provide a secure, streamlined sign-in experience across social, enterprise, and email-based authentication methods.

This flexible authentication approach simplifies onboarding while supporting account linking across multiple sign-in methods. Organizations can apply centralized security controls, such as multi-factor authentication, session policies, and access governance, ensuring consistent enforcement regardless of how users authenticate.

Additionally, only a single set of user credentials is needed to access both the Pro! Back Office and the Remote Item Writing and Review portal. Qualified existing users will be merged during deployment.

User Management

User management has been completely redesigned to deliver a simpler, more intuitive administrative experience. Administrators can easily create and manage users and roles, quickly locate users through search or role-based filtering, and update user details, including name, email address, assigned section, roles, and account status.

To streamline administration, the system now supports bulk user actions, including activation/deactivation, role assignment, section assignment, and user deletion.

User Profile

The platform introduces user profiles, allowing individuals to view and manage their own account information. Users can update profile details, manage linked authentication methods, multi-factor authentication, and maintain a single identity across sessions and devices, improving both usability and long-term account continuity.

Messaging/General Updates

• Updated the wording of the Item Locked message when opening an item that is currently in progress within an item-writing project for improved clarity.
• Reworded the concurrency message to provide clearer and more actionable option descriptions.
• Removed the link to X from the application footer.

Bulk Update User Interface

The bulk update screen has been enhanced to minimize scrolling and ensure that the most frequently used metadata fields are always visible. Additionally, the Item Class and Actual Difficulty fields have been removed from this interface.

Item/Passage View Options

The interface was updated to make the Passage and Item view options more visible and clearly identifiable as selectable views. In addition, the Passage option is hidden when the project does not support passages.

Item Review Comparison Window

Updated the default placement of the comparison window so it no longer overlaps item content when first displayed, eliminating the need to reposition it for each item.

Item Review Approvals

The interface was updated to display approvals more concisely, making better use of available screen space. Additionally, the Secondary Reviews Not Completed message was resized to display on a single line without wrapping.

Item Preview Resizing

The item preview window is now resizable during item writing and review, allowing for better use of screen space on smaller monitors or devices.

Cut, Copy, and Paste

A new section-level configuration setting now controls whether cut, copy, and paste actions are allowed within the item writing and review editors, including both keyboard shortcuts and right-click options. The default setting allows these actions, and existing clients are not impacted.

Item Review Comment Box Resizable

The comment field in the Complete Review dialog is now resizable, allowing reviewers to more easily view and edit longer comments without being constrained by the default field size.
