1. Foundations
Automatic Upgrade to the Latest Home Page Experience
With this release, SAP SF is enabling the Role Based Permissions for the Latest Home Page feature.*
Since this is a significant change impacting all users, it is highly recommended to put in place a communication plan and test all of the new features before it is moved to production.
* All clients will be auto migrated to the new home page about 1 month after the release date if no action is taken.

4. Onboarding
Custom Cards Visibility Based on Start Date
Organizations need to show tailored and relevant information to their new hires at the appropriate time.
In this release, custom cards help achieve just that around the Start Date. We can now set the visibility of custom cards a number of days before and after the start date.
Admins are now able to define when new hires will start seeing the custom cards when they’re just getting onboarded and when these ones will no longer show after a few days, weeks, or so.

5. Performance and Goals
Show Behavior Descriptions When Not Rating by Behavior in 360 Reviews - SAP Fiori Version
The most impactful enhancements for PMGM in this release involve the Fiori version of 360 Forms.
This enhancement allows the display of Competency Behaviours in a 360 Form, even if you are not rating by the Behaviors. It gives the participant additional context to support the feedback that they want to give.
