### Improved Reminder Delivery in Approvals&#x20;

The Manual Reminder feature in Approvals has been updated to ensure notifications are delivered accurately to the selected recipients.

**🔹** Previously, when sending a reminder to a specific Approver or Reviewer, the notification might also be sent to Approval Owners.

**🔹** Following this update, Manual Reminders are sent strictly to the selected Approver/Reviewer, ensuring targeted communication and preventing unnecessary notifications.

### \[New Feature] Synchronize Expired or Deleted asset status with Drupal

Previously, images that were deleted or expired in HIVO could still be displayed on Drupal and the website.&#x20;

#### **🔹 What’s New?**

This new feature improves asset status synchronization between HIVO and Drupal by:

* Sending notifications when assets in HIVO expire.
* Supporting [**CDN Placeholder**](https://support.hivo.co/integrations/drupal/set-up-a-cdn-placeholder-for-expired-assets) configuration for expired assets based on the Client Profile.

As a result, invalid assets in HIVO will no longer be displayed on the website unintentionally.

👉 Note: Editing Warning Indicator is an **Additional Feature** and must be enabled by a Client Admin in **Settings**. If your organization is unable to enable it, please contact the HIVO Support team.

### \[New Feature] Open Google documents directly from HIVO&#x20;

When saving documents from Google Docs, Google Slides, or Google Sheets to HIVO via the HIVO Connector, users can now open the original Google document more easily.

#### **🔹 What’s New?**

* This update adds an "Open in Google" button, allowing direct access to the document on Google right from the saved asset in HIVO, without needing to search for it manually.
* This feature makes switching between HIVO and Google Workspace faster and more convenient.
