Areas Affected

Branding, Search

Highlights

What Changed

  • The application can now display the Shackleton brand name and identity throughout the experience for customers using that brand, instead of showing Ernest branding. (Ticket)
  • Restricted the ability to force a document search reprocess so only internal system processes can trigger it, preventing accidental or unauthorized reprocessing. (PR)
