This foundation building feature is a framework that existing and yet to be released features may utilize for activation and maintenance, setting the stage for additional configuration time savings in subsequent releases.

ScholarOne deploys a number of patches and hotfixes between releases, ensuring that our users experience constant improvements to the platform. Many of these are driven by internal teams to optimize processes and therefore do not affect workflows. If you have questions about any of these changes, however, please reach out to Support.
