# May '20 (9.96) - Major Release

## Breaking Changes

---

After an upgrade, it is required to review the configuration of the existing OAuth 2.0 connected accounts.

New property "Bearer token type" has been added to the connected account configuration. For the previously created connected account, this setting will be empty with fallback to "Aссess token".

It is important that after an upgrade you review your OAuth provider's settings and set correct token type.

Also note that scope is always required for the connected account and must be specified, regardless of bearer token type or grant type.

## Features

---

- **Encode Retail Price Validation**-****Let Encode assist you in making sure that you are compliant with Consumer Ombudsman's guidelines on price information in marketing in marking sure that you don't by mistake or by accident violate the 6-week rule.

> [!WARNING]
> **An important note on Encode Retail Price Validation!**
> 
> *What is the rule? -*The retailer is only allowed to show "Save" if the "normal price" has been the same in 6 weeks and the "offer price" has been the same as "normal price" in the same period. ****Meaning that if there has been an “offer price” lower than the “normal price”, then the 6-week rule is broken and it starts over again.

> Next-Gen Video Proofing does not currently support either the ability to define the number of seconds in which the comment should appear on screen or the ability to be able to export comments.

- **Field template in search menus** - Select from a list of pre-configured templates to dynamically adjust the search columns. Selected templates will be included as part of the saved search. Read more about this functionality in our [guides](/v1/docs/field-templates)

> 
> The 'Select Layout' selectbox will only be visible if there have been pre-configured templates. When using the Menu Element Wizard and creating items from spreadsheet view ensure that parent module field is visible within search results.

- **Manual 'Assign to me'** - To allow for an individual to easily assign an item to themselves from anywhere within the system we have introduced a new button 'Assign to me' which will be displayed within dashboards and module search results. In addition within the user dropdown, the individual's name will appear as the first option appended with '(Assign to me)'

![assign_to_me.gif](https://cdn.document360.io/3a63e0a8-1221-4570-aaa1-d43f9b95a612/Images/Documentation/assign_to_me.gif)

> [!WARNING]
> **An important note on Manual 'Assign to me'!**
> 
> This functionality must only be used when configured within inline modules or dashboards where the search result is filtered and should be used against a single user field per module. The field must be editable and cannot be read-only, hidden from search results and cannot be used with field filtering.

- **PDF Export** - Easily preview and export PDF templates with support for access permissions.

- **Improved Workflow & Transition Flow -**A new workflow and transition flow, which improves usability and will reduce the time taken to transition between workflow steps by only displaying the modal window in cases when there are comments, reasons, field templates or file upload required otherwise will automatically transition to the select status. A new transition dropdown on item view will also display a transition label that will allow greater flexibility to define and introduce transition to status to help reduce the length of status values. ![Screenshot_2020-05-05_10.09.30.png](https://cdn.document360.io/3a63e0a8-1221-4570-aaa1-d43f9b95a612/Images/Documentation/screenshot_2020-05-05_10.png)
