Hello colleagues,
As updated in the original Connect Post and spreadsheet, one new update has been added to the 2025-2026 Enhancement List: Removal of COVID-19 Impacts Question Block. Additional details can be found in the linked spreadsheet.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly to avoid cluttering inboxes. If similar questions are received, I will make sure to clarify that information with everyone.
Thanks,
Katie
