Important Notes!

• The first time you open the Settings > Screen Saver tab after installing this update, it will be very slow to open due to Windows Defender locking the .scr files for a long time during the initial scan.

• Fix: Microsoft Edge no longer has multiple entries in Alt+Tab
• Fix: Universal app icons now have the correct colour in Alt+Tab

We're excited to announce that we've added the ability to expire content files automatically. You can now set an expiry date and time on images, videos, and other content types. When the expiry date passes, the content will be automatically removed from the configuration on all devices. This feature is great for making sure that things like limited time promos get removed automatically.

Follow these steps to set an expiry date on a file:

1. Click the "Content" link in the header bar to go to your organization's Content management page.
2. Click the edit icon next to the file you want to set the expiry date on.
   

   Edit Content Item
3. In the "Edit Content" dialog, enable the "Expire this content..." checkbox, then choose the date and time you'd like the content to expire.
   

   Edit Content Dialog
4. Click the Save button, and you should now see a green clock icon next to the item on the Content page.
   

   Content Expiry Icon
5. After the content has expired, the file will be highlighted in red on the Content management page. Expired content will not be automatically deleted, so you can always remove the expiry or extend the expiry date if you like.

We're excited to announce that we've added a new "recycle bin" feature for handling deleted devices. Now, when you delete a device, it will move to the built-in "Deleted Devices" group so that you can easily restore it in the future if needed. Devices in the "Deleted Devices" group do not count towards your active devices with regards to billing.

To delete a device, navigate to the device's configuration page, then click the "Delete Device" link at the top of the page. You'll be prompted to confirm the action.

The Delete Device Link

If you navigate to the Devices page, you'll see a new built-in group called "Deleted Devices." The device you just deleted should show up there. Note that the main Dashboard does not show the "Deleted Devices" group.

The Deleted Devices Group

To restore the device, you can either drag the device from the "Deleted Devices" group and drop it on another group, or you can click "Undelete Device" on the device's configuration page.

The Undelete Device Link

To permanently delete the device, click the "Permanently Delete this Device" link on the device's configuration page.
