Key highlights include:
- A brand-new sidebar navigation that simplifies how users move through Symplectic Elements, offering a cleaner, more intuitive experience.
- Repository tools enhancements, including support for DSpace 9, the ability to apply indefinite embargoes in Figshare, and expanded support for automated metadata updates.
