Multiple Outbound SSO Support Absorb now supports multiple Service Provider Initiated outbound SSO connections. Once set up by Admins, this allows end-users to access third-party sites and resources without needing to enter additional credentials. SSO setup has been moved from the Users tab in Portal Settings to the dedicated SSO area. Please read our Outgoing SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On for more information.

Department Impersonation (New Learner Experience) Admins now have the ability to see how the portal appears as a Learner in a specific department, either during or after applying changes via the Template editor. Any changes saved will be view-able by the Admin, including dashboard layouts, menu, catalog page display, customized footer, etc. Navigating to pages in the Learner Interface will reflect these changes as well until the "Return to Admin Template" button is used. Please read the Creating Department Themes article for more information.

Tile Container Labels (New Learner Experience) Labels can now be assigned to Tile Containers for the Public and Private Dashboards. This provides Admins more context on what is inside each container when they are collapsed. Admins also have the option to make these labels visible to Learners via a toggle next to the label definition, which will display as a heading for the container within the Dashboard.

Default Logo URL (New Learner Experience) The default URL which takes Learners to the dashboard, and is used for all logos uploaded in the Templates editor, is now locked until the Override Logo Default URL toggle is enabled. This avoids the URL from being unintentionally removed.
