Platform Update: 1.0.23 Release
Release begun 6/10/2026. Significant functionality in this release includes the following:
- Hero component has been simplified to a single-slide experience. This improves accessibility, usability, and content visibility. Existing multi-image Heroes remain editable, with only the first item displayed publicly while additional content can be reviewed and repurposed elsewhere on the page. Read more about changes to the hero component.
- AI-friendly content discovery. HarvardSites now provides markdown versions of site content and an AI-focused sitemap, helping AI tools and chatbots more effectively discover and understand site information. Learn more about optimizing your site for AI.
- Easier access to help and support resources. A new Help option in the admin user interface linking to the user guide gives site administrators and editors quicker access to training materials and support documentation.
- Reduced visibility of administrative login pages in search results. Administrative login pages are less likely to appear in search results, helping visitors find the correct public content.
- Improved Siteimprove access for restricted-visibility sites. Sites set to "Anyone with the link" can now work more smoothly with Siteimprove, making ongoing accessibility monitoring and quality checks easier.
- Improved readability for nested content on mobile devices. Improved mobile display of nested accordions and listings, making headings and titles easier to read on smaller screens.
- Improved handling of site visibility changes. Updates improve reliability after site visibility settings change and help maintain expected caching behavior.
- Improved user role management for private sites. Site administrators can now assign the Viewer role when editing existing users, making it easier to manage access and move users to view-only permissions.
- Drupal updates
