What's new in January: Key product updates, and improvements.
Enhancements
Admin Panel
Admin panel resilience improvements following the Dec 2 incident: As part of the post-incident review, we identified that the Admin Panel was unnecessarily impacted by a gateway outage. We adjusted the traffic flow so admin/moderator activity is no longer dependent on public traffic paths, helping ensure the Admin Panel remains available even when other parts of the system experience issues.
Safety
Renamed “AI Moderation Assist” to “AIDA – AI Moderation Assistant,” refreshed descriptive text and confirmation modal, and updated the Learn More link to point to the AIDA blog post.
Identity
Expanded adoption of the new Identity system to more partners, enabling improved infrastructure benefits.
Bug Fixes
Admin Panel
Resolved an issue where refreshing different settings tabs triggered 403 errors on endpoints like
whitelisted-urls,sso/token-status, andauthorized-domains.
