This release introduces retrieval APIs for individual user data and filtered user lists, including filtered user-project-role associations. [Learn more about Panaya APIs](https://success.panaya.com/docs/api-guide) ## Prevent Conflicting Changes During Impact Analysis Processing To protect project data and prevent conflicting changes, access to an Impact Analysis project is temporarily restricted while the project is [Processing](https://success.panaya.com/docs/what-does-the-project-status-mean#processing). This restriction applies to direct access, links in Panaya emails, and API interactions. Users already working in the project are automatically logged out until processing is complete. --- ## Panaya Testing ### Linked Defects in Defect List Gain faster visibility into defect relationships directly from the defect list view. Following the introduction of the Linked Defects tab in the previous release, a new Linked Defects column displays the number of defects linked to each defect, makes this information available for reporting, and provides direct drill-down to its Linked Defects tab. Learn more about [Linked Defects](https://success.panaya.com/docs/linked-defects-and-duplicate-detection). ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/base64-converted-image-1788703568190.png) ### Detect Duplicate Defects Before Creation Stop duplicate defects before they enter your backlog. With [AI Duplicate Detection](https://success.panaya.com/docs/linked-defects-and-duplicate-detection), Panaya automatically identifies potential duplicates while users create a defect, surfacing relevant matches with clear similarity levels. Users can quickly review potential matches and link the new defect to relevant existing defects, or stop creating it when the issue is already covered. This helps reduce defect noise, keep the backlog cleaner, and avoid unnecessary triage and investigation.

Individual tests can use a Custom workflow when needed, while existing approval processes remain unaffected by later cycle-level changes. Available to customers with the compliance package. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/base64-converted-image-1788703568257.png) ## --- ## Test Automation [Click here for our Test Automation product updates](/v1/docs/test-automation-product-updates) --- ## Panaya for SAP ### Safeguard Overly Broad Assisted Code Correction Reduce the risk of saving overly broad [Assisted Code Corrections](https://success.panaya.com/docs/assisted-code-corrections) with a new safeguard for large code changes. When an AI-Assisted fix changes 90% or more of the current source code, Panaya blocks saving and prompts the user to review and refine the proposed fix before saving. Available in S/4Code, S/4Convert, and S/4Accelerate projects. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/base64-converted-image-1788703669419.png) ### Clearer Fix Summaries for Assisted Code Corrections Quickly understand [Assisted Code Corrections](https://success.panaya.com/docs/assisted-code-corrections) with a simplified Fix Summary that provides the most important details and information. The summary is sectioned by Issue, Root Cause, Solution, and Open Items, helping users understand what was identified, why it occurred, how it was addressed, and whether follow-up is required. ### Keep AI-Powered Unit Test Impact Summaries Current Keep AI-Powered unit tests aligned with changes made while work is in progress. When relevant corrections or Notes change, Panaya removes the cached summary so that the next summary is based on the latest information, including newly added or removed corrections and Notes, as well as corrections moved out of scope.
