# July Release #1, 2024

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

#### Improved planning closure <a href="#ispasted" id="ispasted"></a>

We have upgraded our planning feature to provide you with greater control over your result entry process. When adding results, you can now select the specific plannings you wish to close. This flexibility allows for more precise planning management, moving away from the previous all-or-none closure system.

#### Building prerequisite rules by skill categories

It is now possible to build prerequisite rules by simultaneously selecting multiple skills, then using the category structure to find those you need more quickly.  This streamlines the way prerequisites are configured and managed, making it easier to align them with organizational goals – and ensuring that employees meet the necessary criteria before achieving new skills.&#x20;

#### New skill category filter

We've added a skill category filter to employee detail pages, enabling users to view skills by category. This simplifies navigation, making it easier to focus on specific areas of interest or development.

#### Speed improvements to Organization Structures <a href="#ispasted" id="ispasted"></a>

We have enhanced the speed and usability of Organization Structures by implementing “Show more” and “Hide” buttons. These additions help manage the display of complex tree structures, improving load times and the UI.
