  ### Portfolio export

  * Use this tab to visualize all of the programs across your portfolio.

  ### Updated project cost tab

  The **Cost** tab on **All projects** now shows the amortized cost of tasks across projects. Previously, it only showed the total cost on the last month of the project.

  ### SVG export

  *Only available on non-Safari browsers*

  * Certain visualizations (program summaries, program and project timelines) can now be exported as an SVG

  <Note>Additional manipulation and editing within PowerPoint may still be necessary.</Note>
  After importing the SVG into PowerPoint

  * Select the imported SVG > right-click > "Ungroup"

  ### Update task dates from project

  * In particular, the **All projects** listing page now loads much faster.

  ### Bug fixes

    * If you previously had a Saved View with a project or program filter, you may need to remake it
</Update>

<Update label="November 2024">
  ### Improved datepicker

  * We've made major improvements to the user experience of using the datepicker
  * The datepicker is now more intuitive when updating the start date, end date, or duration
  * We've replaced the icons next to the dates to represent whether the date is computed or not
    * Dates in *italics* now represent calculated dates from dependencies
    * Non-italicized dates indicate chosen dates or dates for tasks / objectives that are not pending

  ### Sync Objective dates to project dates

  * We understand that building out a project is sometimes used to determine the Objective's "planned dates"
  * If the Objective's "planned dates" do not match its project's dates, you can now click the **Update objective dates** to update the objective's dates
  * The same feature is available for updating planned objective costs
