Removing Blocked URLs
Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise
We’ve started to roll out the ability to right-click and open in a new tab. This will affect items that have the Open in New Tab icon next to them - such as candidate names or contact names.
This week, we’ve updated To Do lists, Candidate and Contact searches and Candidate names in the job workflow.
We’ll be continuing this in the coming weeks.
Removing Blocked URLs Continued
Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise

Anywhere you see the Open in New Tab icon, users can now right-click without getting a blocked URL.
Improved Handling of Special Characters in Contact Event Tags
Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise
Users can now successfully search for and Contact event tags containing special characters, such as & and #.
Previously, an event tag like “Tom & Jerry BDP” would display correctly on the Contact record but it would return no results when searched for. This has now been resolved by updating how special characters are handled in search queries. Matching tags will now appear as expected in the dropdown when users begin typing.
