We’re excited to introduce a new Preview feature in the Repository Record Editor. Editors can now preview records, whether in draft or containing unsaved changes, without publishing or saving them. This allows you to validate layout, content, and formatting before anything goes live.

Access the new Preview option from the editor’s three-dot menu. The record will open in a new tab showing a simulated published view, along with a clear banner indicating that you are viewing an unpublished preview.

We’ve added a new Bookmarks Widget to help patrons access their saved items more easily, and to make the bookmarks feature more visible and engaging. Logged-in users can now view their bookmarks directly from the portal homepage, with support for folders and smooth navigation.

If a user isn’t logged in, the widget prompts them to sign in, helping increase bookmark usage and overall engagement. Administrators can also customize the widget’s appearance and options to match their portal layout.

We’ve redesigned the Date Filter Chart in Discover from the ground up to make it faster, smoother, and better suited for collections that span long historical periods.

The updated chart now displays more years at a glance and includes a Timeline Zoom Bar that appears automatically when the date range is large. This new tool lets users easily scroll, zoom in, and focus on specific time periods for more precise filtering.

Interactive actions like clicking or dragging to select a date range now respond instantly for a more seamless search experience.

We’re excited to share several powerful AI updates which were released over the last two months that make Discover even smarter and more intuitive:

The AI Assistant is now available directly within the Bookmarks section, making it easier to summarize, explore, and interact with saved resources.

A new AI Search Feature Snippet is now available. This option is useful for administrators who prefer to keep keyword search as the primary search method. It allows them to display their own results from their own resources at the top, while still including the highly relevant and powerful AI Search results within the page.

Our spell check engine has been completely rebuilt with AI capabilities and now recognizes and corrects spelling across multiple languages. Administrators no longer need to set a predefined language. This is especially useful for multilingual institutions where, for example, the interface is in Spanish but users search in both English and Spanish.

The new autosuggest engine delivers more relevant and context-aware results than ever, helping patrons find what they need faster. Like the new spell check, it no longer requires a preset language and automatically detects the language of each query. Search suggestions are optimized across multiple domains, including Medical, Engineering, and General Academic.

We’re happy to introduce Response Templates in the Document Delivery module. Administrators can now create predefined reply templates for common request responses. This makes it faster and easier to communicate with patrons, ensures consistency in messaging, and improves overall workflow efficiency.

We’re excited to introduce Invite Link Sharing for Advanced Bookmarks. Instead of selecting individual users, you can now generate a shareable invite link to grant access to a folder. When recipients open the link, they’ll be automatically added with the permissions you set—either Read Only or Read Write.

This feature is available exclusively to customers with the Advanced Bookmarks add-on. If your library doesn’t have it yet, you can head over to the Marketplace to start a free trial.

A new filter helps you view only content with an active subscription, so one can always find up-to-date resources with valid access.

You can now filter your results to display only freely available open access materials. This makes it easier to discover content that doesn't require a subscription.

These options are available in the left-hand filter panel.

We’ve upgraded our AI-powered features to provide users with deeper insights, more relevant results, and a more intuitive search experience.

The previous AI Summarize feature has been replaced with the new AI Assistant, a dropdown menu in the Discover results action bar that offers multiple AI-driven options.

When users select 2–10 articles, even across pages, additional AI analysis options become available:

All findings include full references to their source articles. The AI results screen supports comparison, feedback, and a streamlined reading experience.

The PICO widget now supports an AI Search mode, which translates structured PICO(T) inputs into natural language queries before running the search.

This results in more relevant, readable, and context-aware outputs—especially valuable for clinical researchers.

Users can switch between Boolean and AI Search (if both are enabled) and admins can configure available modes via the Widget Settings panel.

Our AI Search engine has been smart enough to understand when recency matters—applying different levels of recency ranking based on the context of the query. Whether your patrons are exploring foundational knowledge or seeking the latest medical research, the engine adapts accordingly.

Now, we’re taking it one step further by enhancing the Search Suggestions feature snippet to reflect that same intelligence.

When a user runs a search, the Search Suggestions box now includes suggestions that reflect recency-sensitive phrasing when relevant. For example, when searching about ongoing medical or scientific topics like COVID-19 vaccines, the system may suggest:

“Recent advancements in COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness”

“Trends in COVID-19 vaccine efficacy research”

“COVID-19 vaccines and booster shot effectiveness”

These suggestions are context-aware and designed to gently guide users toward the most relevant, up-to-date content.

We’re excited to announce the introduction of Faceted Search in the Library eResources module! This enhancement makes it easier than ever for your patrons to narrow down their search results and quickly find what they need.

There are no settings to configure—this feature is available by default!

This update brings the same modern filtering experience found in Discover to Library eResources, providing a more intuitive and powerful search experience for your users.
