A new Recurrence field is now available for these loads, and this field is optional. This field enables organizations to set the recurrence settings for curricula and tests.
Core	Edge Import - Learning Load Enhancements (Recurrence)	The following is no longer an acceptable value for the Recurrence field in for Edge Import Learning Loads because it is not a valid standalone recurrence setting: 4 - Allow subsequent instances of training to be approved based on original approval. Leave unmarked to apply approval workflow for every request.

Core	Removal of the "API Events" Tab from the Manage OAuth 2.0 Application Page	With this deprecation, Cornerstone is removing the "API Events" tab due to low usage. Plans to re-imagine the feature to provide data that gives clients useful insights into their API usage are being considered.
Core	Reporting 2.0 - Permissions Enablement Tool	With this enhancement, a Reporting 2.0 Permissions Enablement page is added to Admin > Tools > Core Functions > Core Preferences so that top-level administrators can enable equivalent Reporting 2.0 permissions to be added automatically to the applicable security roles when a report is migrated from Custom Reports to Reporting 2.0. This functionality is only available in Stage portals until the October '20 Release on 30 October 2020. This functionality is not currently available in Pilot or Production portals.
Core	Reporting 2.0 - Usability Enhancements	Multiple enhancements are made to improve the user experience for Reporting 2.0.

These downloaded material training items can then be launched offline and consumed, and users can mark them complete once the internet connection is restored.
Learning	Cornerstone Learn - Picture in Picture Support (Android)	With this enhancement, Android users can initiate Picture In Picture (PIP) when viewing video training items by tapping the Home button on their Android device.

Learning	Prevent Editing Provider Field for Content Subscription Courses and Playlists	With this enhancement, the Provider field in the Course Catalog and Course Console has been disabled for subscription content and can no longer be edited by administrators. Disabling the Provider field for subscription content prevents future misalignment between subscription providers and subscription courses.
Learning	"Price Visible" Preference Moved to Learning Details Preferences	With this enhancement, the Price and Training Units visibility setting has been moved from the Content Requesting Preferences page to the new Page Display section of the Learning Details Preferences page. This setting still controls price visibility on both the legacy and redesigned Learning Details pages. In addition, an Only Display when Value is Greater than Zero sub-option is available, allowing administrators to determine whether a price displays for training items with no cost. This functionality was made available in Stage portals on July 15th and is available in Production portals with the Sept 11 patch.

When included in the email, the message does not display the job title of any of the interviewers but still includes the interview details. This allows recruiters to provide their applicants all the necessary information about the interview without displaying sensitive data about the interviewers.
