Our aim in producing release notes is to provide our customers with detailed, relevant information to enhance your Profile experience.

Our release notes for enhancements include a number of items which give context around how these improvements impact you and your organisation.

The following reference table helps you understand the meaning behind each item in order to better interpret release notes entries.

* Medium Risk – Moderate impact that can be managed with proper testing and monitoring (e.g., changes to existing functionality rather than new implementations, affecting some users or non-critical workflows). 
* Low Risk – Minimal impact, unlikely to cause issues, and easily reversible (e.g., limited user impact, simple rollback, no major dependencies). |
