• Modal dialogs in Configuration center has been streamlined modals in edit mode.
• In Design and branding the import theme function has got a new placement and styling.
• Small adjustments in colors and placements of buttons in configuration center.
• Error fixed in the color list in Admin center – Installation.

 

​Edit mode​

• Direction of the chevrons in modal dialogs advanced section has been updated to point to the right when collapsed and point down when expanded.
• White background on edit buttons has been changed to be transparent.

End user mode​

​Service Desk​

• Margins and colors in the Service Desk has been adjusted in general.
• Create ticket button has been highlighted.

 

Special Conside​rations

• ​A bug was reported that changing a site title was not reflected in the breadcrumb, because the breadcrumb is cached in the browser. For performance reasons we decided to keep the long-time caching of the breadcrumb in the browser, but we now added a “Clear browser cache” button in Wizdom Admin Cache. When having changed a SharePoint Site title, this button may be used to clear the stale breadcrumbs from the browser caches.
• A new HTML Editor has been introduced. The new editor is activated by default in Cloud solutions. In OnPrem solutions the new editor is not yet activated. To disable the new editor (and revert to the original editor) you can set the client-side feature toggle “clientSideFeatureToggle:DisableFroalaEditor” to “true”.
