# Core 7.5.4 Release Notes

Profile & Identity Management Improvements, Security Strengthening, and Bug Fixes

July 13, 2026

## Summary

This release focuses on improving identity management, strengthening security, refining user administration, and resolving a number of workflow issues affecting uploads, downloads, metadata, and day-to-day usability. These updates deliver a more reliable experience across authentication, asset management, and common user workflows.

## Identity & Authentication

- **Greater flexibility for SSO configuration** – Identity Provider settings can now be updated directly within Core, making it easier for administrators to maintain and adjust SSO configurations as identity providers evolve.

- **Improved SSO session reliability** – Resolved an issue that could prevent users from successfully signing in via SSO when initiating a new login while another Core session was already active in the same browser.

- **QR code login improvements for Apple TV** – Fixed an issue that prevented QR code authentication from working correctly in the Apple TV application.

## User Administration & Security

- **Additional protection for standard user profiles** – Standard users can no longer modify administrative profile settings such as organization details, account expiration, activation settings, and other administrator-managed attributes. This helps preserve security while still allowing authorized administrators and user managers to manage user accounts where appropriate.

- **Improved profile editing experience** – Refined profile notifications and save behavior to eliminate confusing or misleading messages when saving, cancelling changes, or when no updates have been made.

- **Security hardening** – Addressed potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities to further strengthen platform security.

- **Custom watermark enhancements** – Added support for customer-specific watermarking requirements to provide additional flexibility for protected content.

## Asset Management & Metadata

- **More reliable metadata assignment during uploads** – Fixed an issue where metadata values were not automatically applied during browser-based uploads.

- **Improved PDF processing** – Resolved an issue that prevented certain PDF files containing special characters in their metadata from processing successfully.

- **Tag editing reliability** – Fixed an issue that could prevent metadata tags from being edited successfully.

- **Improved asset categorization workflow** – Resolved issues during consecutive uploads where the asset category hierarchy could become incorrectly ordered, allowing users to continue categorizing new uploads without interruption.

## Transfers & Downloads

- **More reliable download processing** – Improved download job handling to prevent duplicate download requests and reduce cases where downloads could remain stuck or report incorrect progress.

## User Experience & Stability

- **Improved handling of invalid URLs** – Core now responds more gracefully when an invalid URL is entered, preventing users from becoming stuck on an unusable page.

- **Resolved Inbox sharing panel issue** – Fixed an issue where closing the reshare panel from the Inbox could leave the page unresponsive until refreshed.
