# [Didactic Release](https://blog.jostle.me/product/didactic)

 Written by [Vince Forrington](https://blog.jostle.me/product/author/vince-forrington) | May 14, 2020

*Released 2020 May 25 (build 44.4.34)*

**Tasks improvements**

**All Users:** Tasks users will notice the following key improvements:

- **Files sub-view** – provides easy, organized access to all attachments posted in a task’s timeline.
- **Due date notification** – an automatic red dot notification (no email) in the Main Navigation for all collaborators on the day a task is due. A reminder note will also be generated in the timeline of the task to move it to the top of everyone’s Tasks list (which are sorted by most recent activity).
- **Description location** – moved to the top of the task form for easier access and improved task clarity.

**New name for Classifieds: Listings**

The **Classifieds** view has been renamed **Listings** to better reflect the diverse purposes that orgs can use the view for ([learn more](https://forum.jostle.us/hc/en-us/articles/360047549454)). Orgs who have given this view a custom name will not have it changed, and orgs not currently using a custom name will have it remain that way, with "Classifieds" becoming their initial “custom name" for the view.

**News: Reordering categories**

**News Editors:** News categories can now be reordered using the drag-and-drop method and no longer need to be deleted and re-entered to be placed in a desired order.

**Workflow change for manually deleting users**

**System Admins:** To help prevent any errors when permanently deleting accounts, a user must now be disabled (via the *Edit user* screen) before their account can be manually deleted. In *Admin Settings >  User accounts and data > Delete Disabled users*, System Admins can then select which disabled user accounts they wish to permanently delete from their intranet.

**NOTE**—deleting users in bulk (via CSV) does **not** require that their accounts be disabled first.

**UI updates**

**All Users/System Admins:** To address the growing changes of the Jostle platform as well as provide more transparency overall, some notable changes have been made to the user interface:

- **Contributors** will now be referred to throughout the platform and support content as **users**.
- The main **Admin Settings** page has been cleaned up and reorganized to make it easier to use and understand.

**Links: Default embedded link option for default view**

**System Admins:** When choosing to set your intranet’s default view to Links, System Admins can now select a default embedded link to automatically open (**NOTE**—normally, it’s not good practice to default open your intranet to Links).

**                     PLUS  88** other bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

***From the Developer's Dictionary:***

***D is for didactic** – intended to teach; informative, instructional*
