Access Legal Compliance system refresh
We're excited to share that on May 18th, we're releasing the first phase of a refreshed design for Legal Compliance - shaped by your feedback.
The update covers the Homepage, File Audits, Complaints, PII Claims, and Breach Reporting, delivering a cleaner, more modern interface with improved navigation and better task visibility, making it easier to find what you need and take action quickly.
When the update goes live, a banner and menu option will appear so you can switch over to the new design at your own pace.
To help you prepare, we've put together a FAQ covering what's changing, what stays the same, and what to expect on the day. Read the FAQ →
Step-by-step guides and short walkthrough videos will be available on our Help Centre from launch day, along with full release notes.
