Syntphony Release Note | v1.10.0
Launched on 27 January 2025
New in this version
SEARCH
Added new option to search for external content
USER EXPERIENCE
In this release, we have added the ability to search for external content using Microsoft 365 connectors. You can use the connectors managed by your organization. These can index data from applications such as Salesforce, Oracle SQL, and Azure DevOps.
This gives intranet administrators more flexibility, as they can centralize searches for content from all applications used by the client.
This can be configured in the Search Configuration within the Syntphony Settings, where administrators can create external verticals based on the customer’s needs.
ACCESIBILITY
Improves accessibility for users with diverse abilities
USER EXPERIENCE
As part of our commitment to making our platform more inclusive, which has led to the implementation of several enhancements designed to better support users of all abilities, we are making significant accessibility improvements in our latest product update.
In this release, improvements have been made to the Dashboard cards, the Quick links webpart and other general areas of the product.
Improvements
QUICK LINKS WEBPART
Open links in a new tab
USER EXPERIENCE
A new option to open an item in a new tab has been added to the Quick Links webpart settings. This gives contributors more flexibility in designing this component.
PEOPLE SEARCH WEBPART
Additional information for external users
USER EXPERIENCE
We have improved the behavior of this webpart for external users. It now displays text informing them that this webpart is restricted for them, giving them better feedback as to why they did not receive any results.
SEARCH
The behavior of promoted content has been fixed
USER EXPERIENCE
Promoted content is now displayed in the All vertical view when the user has only filtered by the Scope field. This way, the user gets the correct information even if the scope is changed.
MICROSOFT INTREGATION

ADAPTIVE MAINTENANCE
Our services have been enhanced to integrate with the latest versions of Microsoft 365 and Azure resources, ensuring compatibility with Microsoft’s latest feature rollouts.

SECURITY
Enhanced security
ADAPTIVE MAINTENANCE
In our commitment to ensuring the safety and satisfaction of our customers, we have updated all resources to the latest versions. This proactive approach is critical to maintaining the security and stability of our product.
By incorporating the latest versions, this update significantly enhances the overall security of our platform, protecting your data and providing a safe user experience.
Fixings
CONTENTS
Fix for forward publishing news items
USER EXPERIENCE
When an editor tried to forward publish a news item, it would not be scheduled correctly, resulting in the content not appearing on the Dashboards when the editor wanted it to. We have fixed this behavior so that editors will now get the desired behavior when scheduling news.
USER EXPERIENCE
General user experience improvements
USER EXPERIENCE
As part of improving the user experience, we have made improvements to the style and usability of product components.
For example, the overlap of certain panels with the configuration panel has been resolved. In addition, some text has been replaced to make it easier to understand the context of actions taken. On the other hand, the experience has been optimized for mobile resolutions.
