Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the Live Template Privacy was incorrectly overriding the privacy setting defined in the Template configuration.
- Fixed an issue where the target of the Live Template selector could no longer point to the correct workspace serving as Live Template.
- Fixed an issue where Two Step Archivals could incorrectly interpret a Workspace as awaiting archival if the approver had optionally elected to delete the workspace, rather than archive it using the standard First Step.
- Fixed an issue where the Group Welcome Email configuration was not getting applied correctly for Team Sites.
- Fixed an issue where Workspace logos were sometimes not getting saved correctly during provisioning and not getting correctly during the nightly scan.
- Fixed a Viva Engage provisioning error that could sometimes occur during the membership phase of provisioning.
- Fixed a front end error affecting a select few customers when making multiple provisioning requests.
