June 10, 2026

 

 

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.

- **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.

- **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**
