Two important new features are now live on the platform.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Your account is now more secure with Multi-Factor Authentication. When you log in, you'll confirm your identity with a temporary code in addition to your password. This extra step protects your account even if your password is ever compromised.

MFA is available now for all users. You can set it up directly in your account settings.

Self-Registration now available in CE3

Suppliers can now self-register directly through CE3. The registration URL has been updated, and the previous CE2 registration link will now automatically redirect to the new CE3 version.

If you share a registration link with new suppliers, make sure to use the updated URL: app.connecting-expertise.com/register 

This release also includes an expansion of an existing feature, a new notification, and a few fixes based on user feedback.

Sidebar now available across more pages

The Recent Activity sidebar, introduced in a previous release on proposal detail pages, is now also available on:

• Assignment details
• Performance details
• Request details

This gives you a consistent overview of recent activity wherever you're working in the platform.

Timesheet approved notification

Suppliers will now receive a notification when a timesheet is approved by the client. This makes it easier to track the status of submitted timesheets without having to check manually.

"News" renamed to "Knowledge Center" in the platform menu

The menu item previously called "News" has been renamed to "Knowledge Center". This links directly to our Knowledge Centre and support resources, making it easier to find help when you need it.

A few fixes worth mentioning

• The French translation of "Shortlisted" in the supplier history view was displaying incorrectly. This has been fixed.
• The years of experience field now only accepts the correct number format (for example "1.0" instead of ".1"). This prevents errors on the client side.
