• The toolbar's edit section background color has been updated to white to enhance clarity and consistency in the interface. A hover effect has also been added to improve interactive feedback.
• The longitude/latitude and search functionalities are now greyed out to clearly indicate their current development status. When users attempt to interact with these options, informative tooltips will appear, explaining that these features are still being enhanced and are not yet fully operational.
• The Sensitivity Analysis tab has been greyed out to visually indicate that it is not currently available. When users attempt to access this tab, a tooltip will appear, explaining that the feature is not yet implemented.
• In projects screened for climate risk, the functionality to expand fields has been limited to the first three fields on the Project Details page. Clicking on the country selection field will trigger a tooltip explaining why it is disabled.

This release brings several key updates and improvements that focus on enhancing the user interface, streamlining interactions, and fixing known issues from the previous releases:

• The Methodology section on the landing page has been updated to reflect the latest changes and insights, providing users with a clearer understanding of the processes and principles that guide the platform.
• Actions on the toolbar have been moved to the bottom of the tools panel to improve usability and ensure a cleaner layout.
• The system now correctly handles asset removal operations and provides clearer error messaging when operations fail, aligning with user expectations and enhancing error transparency.
• Updated the mapping toolbar’s visual design by introducing a white background to enhance clarity and user experience.
• The 'Start Screening' button will now be disabled when the map toolbar is open, preventing conflicts and ensuring users complete necessary actions before proceeding.

This release includes improvements of the platform mainly enhancing the usability of the map tools, handling the project list, and adjusting the report paging:

• For what regards the projects table, it is now possible to sort entries with different criteria (title, name, country, assess type, date of screening, overall risk). Moreover the project list has been organized by pages, with selectable number of entries per page.
• The map toolbox (project creation and editing steps) has been improved and aligned to the most recent look-and-feel requirements. Its functionalities have been further evolved, allowing opening the tool several times, and limiting the number of geometries that can be entered per project to one.
• Added a constraint to avoid uploading files with more than one geometry.
• The paging of the report has been modified to allow the visualization of multiple screening criteria per climate variable.

This release includes two major improvements of the platform that allow completing the project screening workflow:

• The possibility to visualize the result of the screening of each project as textual report and the capability of exporting the report in the form of a portable document (pdf format).
• The possibility to recall unfinished and finished projects: unfinished projects can be re-opened, modified, and screened. Finished projects can be opened to explore project information (with a minimal editing capability), verify which screening configurations have been applied, and visualize the screening results, including the report visualization and export functionality.
• Bug Fixes: We've identified and resolved various minor bugs reported in the previous version. These fixes contribute to an overall smoother and more stable platform experience.
• Quality of Life Improvements: As part of our ongoing efforts to optimize the user experience, especially in the climate change screening process, this release incorporates additional QOL enhancements. These improvements focus on making the platform more responsive and efficient.
• Platform stability: A set of tests has been performed to avoid processing errors and issues during the project screening process.
