The following release notes are up to date as of July 3rd, 2023.
Workflow
Improved Recurring Tasks

This gives you the option to create a custom-assignable role that lives on the client record (Bookkeeper, Tax Preparer, Partner, etc)
Add all the roles you want, edit them, and delete them
Client Record
We’ve made changes to the way Team Members are assigned, using the new Manage Assignments modal, and added the ability to assign a team to a client record

General Users/Teams - gives general access to the client record
Client List
You can see the following new columns:
Assigned Users - shows all users assigned regardless of how assigned
Teams - all teams assigned
All custom roles
Change (Add, Remove, or Clear All) assignments individually (right-click on a client record)
