Custom forms can now be attached at user forms, and user profile forms level. User forms can be entered by only admins who can set up user accounts. Regular users like tissue bankers can enter user profile forms by accessing their profile page. This is useful for users to enter additional details like training details on their own.

You might want to include many fields in the catalog for the researchers. However, too many columns would make the UI clumsy and difficult for researchers to view the data about the specimens.
Now you can click on “View more details” of each specimen in the Catalog search results in a pop-up window. The fields on this page are configurable:
The Administrator can configure columns to be displayed in the catalog results view.
In addition to the above, the Request Managers can now access the requests using the menu option ‘Catalogs', which was previously only accessible to super admins.
Refer to Managing Catalogs for more details.

Both update and insert operation (Upsert) is now supported in a single CSV import. This is useful for users doing regular bulk imports from external sources. It is difficult to separate the new records to be inserted vs. old records to be updated.
Refer to Create & Update in Single Bulk Operation for more details.
