## What's New in the Latest iMIS EMS Upgrades

You can always find information on the latest updates on our [What’s New](https://help.imis.com/enterprise/new_features_and_enhancements/latest_upgrade_whats_new.htm) page, including links to our full documentation.

Here are some of the updates that I’m excited about:

### Send password reset emails directly to contacts

For added convenience and security, administrators can manually send password reset emails to contacts instead of directly updating passwords on their behalf.

The password reset email includes a secure link for the contact to update their password, allowing users to reset their passwords without needing to click the Forgot password? link. See [Resetting passwords](https://help.imis.com/enterprise/features/community/security/overview_of_security_throughout_imis.htm#Resetting_passwords) for full details.

 

### Support for extended character sets in contact names

Contact names can now use extended character sets, including Māori macrons. This ensures accurate entry, storage, and display of special characters across dashboards, forms, search results, reports, imports, and duplicate management processes.

 

### Enhancements to Easy Edit: Streamlined content management and publishing

You'll see the following changes when you enable Easy Edit:

- **Displaying unpublished changes**: Previously, you always saw the published version of the content. Now, you will see the working version of the content. The page will display a status of *This page has unpublished changes* with a Publish Page button to indicate this.
- **Custom content configuration**: Each content item now has a Configure button that allows you to quickly access and adjust the content item's configuration options.
- **Content record edit bar**: Now located at both the top and bottom of the page, this bar includes an Open in Content Designer link to easily open the page for editing.
- **Status messages for recent changes**: After making changes, the content record will display helpful messages such as, *Page saved*, *Page published*, *This page has unpublished changes*, and *Page added to publishing queue*.
- **Publishing**: When the status is *Page saved* or *This page has unpublished changes*, you can quickly publish the page using the Publish Page button.
- **Approval for non-publishers**: Content authors without publishing permissions will see new status messages and buttons to submit content for approval.

 

### iMIS is WCAG Level 2.2 compliant

iMIS complies with the WCAG 2.2 standards and meets the new accessibility requirements established by this level.
