Product Provider Applications
Tag Checklist Item Types
| Affects User Interface | Yes |
| Affected Areas | Provider Applications/Forms |
| Additional Resources | Provider App Tag Checklist |
Summary
When Tag Checklist item types are utilized within Product Provider Applications, they can be configured to automatically tag the associated product upon application approval.
Note: This functionality is specific to Product Provider Applications and is not available for Company level applications.
Change Benefit
This feature allows Admins to design Provider Applications that automatically capture and apply critical product information as tags. This streamlines the product information management process by applying the tags immediately after an application is approved.
Feature Workflow
When creating a new Provider Application, use a Tag Checklist item type to gather necessary information from a partner. Once submitted by a Provider, the LearnPlatform Admin either Accept or Decline the Provider Application. If accepted, the tags defined in the Tag Checklist automatically are applied to the Product.

Product Provider Applications
Email Notifications

| Affected Areas | Product Provider Applications |
Summary
For Provider Applications that have two-way communication enabled, Admins can receive a notification when a Provider submits their first comment on an application.
Change Benefit
This update provides Admins with immediate notification of new comments submitted by a Provider. This improves communication response times and reduces the need for Admins to manually monitor applications for new activity.

Tags
Tags Deletion
| Feature Availability | Production Availability 2025-07-14 |
| Affects User Interface | Yes |
| Affected Areas | Tag Settings |
| Additional Resources | Tag in Workflow Error |
Summary
Workflows can be configured with conditions that are dependent on the presence of a specific tag. As a safeguard, tags actively being used as a condition in a workflow cannot be deleted.
Change Benefit
This feature prevents the accidental deletion of tags that are critical to an active workflow. Admins attempting to delete a tag currently in use are notified of the dependency and must first remove it from the associated workflow before deletion is permitted.
Feature Workflow
If an Admin tries to delete a tag that is linked to a workflow, a notification will appear explaining that the tag cannot be deleted.
Accessibility Updates
Login Page
Updates are made to improve accessibility and create a more consistent user experience. For screen reader users, the LearnPlatform icon includes descriptive alt-text and role selections are audibly confirmed. In addition, breadcrumbs function as standard navigational links, the Forgot Password link is underlined, and toast message labels are revised for greater clarity.
