===Minor Updates===
====New Language Translations for System Variables====
<!-- 147155 - York - Enhancement - Enable translation on System Variables -->
The System Variables feature allows administrators to define a value in one place and display it throughout different areas of the system. This simplifies maintenance, as an administrator can update a value in one location and the change will take effect across the entire system.
With this upgrade, you can now specify language translations for system variables. Instead of creating separate variables, you can create a single variable and display different values based on the user's language. If no translation is defined, the system will display the English language value.
<!-- 146000 - Add support for notes in special - linked record list -->
The "Special – Linked Record List" custom field enables you to view and add related items to a record directly within the interface, eliminating the need to navigate to other areas of the system.
This feature simplifies the process of managing organizations, users, activities, and invitations. With this upgrade, you can now view and add notes using this custom field, for an improved user experience.

We've introduced the capability to extract text from PDF files and store it in a multiline text custom field. Once the data is extracted into this field as plain text, it can be utilized with our +AI features for tasks such as translation, summarization, and manipulation.
System Administrators can enable this feature by navigating to the desired "Upload - Multiple Files Storage" custom field, toggling on "Enable PDF Text Export," and specifying the multiline text custom field under the "Value Storage" section where the extracted content should be stored.
