# 1.5.18

## What's Changed

## Improved Approval Management Experience

HIVO has enhanced the **Approval** experience with a more streamlined interface and several usability improvements, making it faster and easier to review, manage, and navigate approval requests.

### **🔹** Simplified Approval Management

HIVO has enhanced the[ Approval management](https://support.hivo.co/approvals) interface by merging the previous "Assets" and "Combined" tabs into a single, unified view with two display modes:

* **Single Mode**: View and review each asset individually.
* **Combined Mode**: Review multiple assets within the same session.

This streamlined design reduces navigation, provides a more consistent review experience, and makes it easier to switch between individual and combined asset reviews.

### **🔹 Add Label field to Approval Requests**

* **Approval Labels:** Users can now assign a **Label** when creating an approval request, making it easier to identify and manage approvals.

* **Filter Update:** The **Label** filter has been renamed to **Stage** to better reflect its purpose.
  * If a Label is provided, it will be displayed instead of the asset name.
  * If no Label is entered, the asset name will continue to be displayed.
  * Labels are visible in both **Table View** and **Kanban View**.

### **🔹 Added a direct Exit button in Smart Compare mode**

A new **Exit** button has been added to Smart Compare, users can now exit Smart Compare with a single click, allowing for quick and seamless switching between Smart Compare and the regular view.

These enhancements simplify the approval workflow, reduce unnecessary navigation, and provide a more efficient and intuitive review experience.

## Simplifying the People Feature

To deliver a more intuitive and consistent experience, HIVO has updated the "Recognition" feature to "People" across the entire platform.

**🔹 What's New?**

* **Renamed "Recognition" to "People"** on the main menu, user interface, and related documentation to more clearly reflect the feature's purpose.
* Simplified the People interface by **removing the "Objects" tab**, helping users focus more on managing and recognizing people.

These changes make the interface cleaner, easier to understand, and deliver a more consistent overall experience.
