# Enhancements

This release focuses on improving the UX across several areas:

- OKR properties selectors (Labels and Collaborators);
- Settings in general;
- Labels settings page;
- Teams settings page

> ⚠️ Additionally, there is an **important change to the** **Manage teams permission** that requires **action from OKR app administrators**.

### Manage teams permission changes

**Affected clients**

Only clients using the following OKR permission schemes are affected by the change:

- Global settings control
- Global settings & editing control
- Advanced setup

**What has changed**

**Summary**

We removed the **Manage team** advanced permission, which allowed all OKR admins to manage any team (which was not the case for OKR local admin specified in the OKR app settings), and added **Manage all teams**.

> ⚠️ **Action required**
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ OKR admins on instances using **Advanced setup** in *Permissions* should review the permissions and assign **Manage all teams** permission to required groups. By default, only OKR Admin group has it. 
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ ![image-20240905-100108.png](media://793e068f-7cc9-45b4-a78c-1ac49638145c)

We now allow any user to navigate to **Settings** > **Teams**, allowing Team Admins and Managers without OKR administrator or **Manage teams** permissions to access the *Edit team* menu.

### “Recent” section for Labels and Collaborators pickers

From now on, you’ll be able to see up to 5 lately used items at the top of the *Labels* and *Collaborators* pickers:

A similar improvement is planned for *Owners* and *Teams* pickers. [Let us know](https://appfire.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/11) if you are looking forward to it. 

### Settings improvements

The following changes and improvements have been introduced in app settings: 

- **Settings** header has been added to the list of settings on the left sidebar.
- Unified naming and page structure for all the settings pages.
- Search has been added to the **Labels** settings page.
- Basic pagination has been removed from the **Labels** and **Teams** settings pages, and the whole list of available items is loaded and can be easily filtered.
- We fixed the sorting on the **Labels** settings page.

We encourage you to explore this new feature and [provide feedback](https://appfire.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/11) to help us improve it further.
