# October Release #1, 2025 The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software. {% embed url="" %} ### **Pin what matters in the matrices page** Keep your most important matrix cards at your fingertips. You can now pin key matrices and access them directly in the new **Pinned** tab, so your most important items are always within reach.

### **New user account setting: “Portfolios you manage”** We’ve introduced a new user account setting as part of a Custom user role: “**Portfolios you manage.”** When this setting is enabled, the user automatically gains access to the portfolios of all employees for whom the user is assigned as manager. This gives managers direct and easy access to their team’s portfolios. You can read more about this setting in our [help article ](https://docs.ag5.com/accounts-roles-and-permissions/user-accounts) *Note*: During the release process, users who are already managers and have access to their people will be transferred from a My Portfolio role to a Custom user role with this new setting turned on.

### **Drag & drop columns** You can now easily reorder columns in all overview tables by dragging and dropping them. This feature helps you customize the table layout to fit your preferences.

### **Prerequisites approvals, made visual** If your organization uses master data approvals, the **prerequisites** page now shows a **visual approval** flow. This provides an overview of the approval process, helping you quickly identify what is pending while keeping the overall workflow clear.

### Super users can now access the history page Super users can now see the system’s overall history, making it easier to track changes and maintain full visibility. ### **More ways to add skill exemptions** Adding skill exemptions is now more flexible. You can do so directly from the employee portfolio page, alert List, or skill pages – not just from the matrix.
