This release brings targeted improvements across Composer to make everyday content management smoother, more reliable, and easier to use. Updates span Forms, Location management, Messages, and overall platform stability, with several fixes that address real friction points reported by admins and end users.

This release improves the everyday reliability of Composer by reducing friction in common site management workflows across Forms, Pages, multilingual content, and search. The result is a more dependable experience for both the teams managing the site and the people using it. Several meaningful updates address longstanding issues in Forms and Pages, including expiration date limits and broken admin submission links.

On the reliability side, we’ve cleaned up a few frustrating edge cases: all-day events now behave correctly on calendar grids (including imported events and timezone scenarios), new search rules can be saved consistently again, and we’ve removed a couple of “surprise” behaviors in Athletics Manager and the Constituent Directory element

Schools now have more flexibility in how visitors reach staff members—offering a form-based option that helps protect contact details and reduce the risk of email exposure or spam.Alongside this new option, we’ve rolled out updates shaped by real-world usage to keep tasks running smoothly. This release makes page pickers and layout editing more reliable, improves stability for resource replacement and shared-element media, and reduces a few confusing UI moments in Locations and Site Search. We also cleaned up front-end formatting in Calendars and improved navigation in Posts. Overall, Composer should feel more consistent day to day—with fewer workarounds for admins.

Calendar Self-Service Migration now offers clearer handling for the legacy Notes field so admins can move forward confidently—without guessing whether important data will be lost.We’ve also continued improving accessibility across Composer. Resource grids now support pagination in the new accessibility-first experience, and Forms have improved CAPTCHA accessibility so more users can successfully complete verification and submit forms using keyboard and assistive technologies.
