Power Policy - 6.40.0

Sept 3, 2026 Release Notes

 

Bug Fixes

Public document outlines page loading blank (PDM-47660) Resolved an issue where opening the Outlines section on a public document page could result in a blank white screen instead of displaying the outline.

Incorrect "Send Welcome Email" admin message (PDM-47626) Fixed an issue in the Users admin settings where a message stating "Send Welcome Email to New Users is enabled" appeared even when the option was not checked.

Group changes incorrectly affecting approved workflows (PDM-45580) Fixed an issue where changes to group or subgroup membership after a workflow step was approved could cause the workflow to incorrectly show a step as "waiting for response," even though it had already been approved and published.

Bookmarked users displayed by username only (PDM-22417) Fixed an issue in the Bookmarks menu where bookmarked users were shown by username only. Bookmarked users now display in "First Name, Last Name (username)" format for easier identification.
