+## May 28, 2024 release
+
+### Visual updates to documentation site
+
+You may have noticed our documentation website has a snazzy new look! We've revamped it to reflect the new vibrant Braze brand identity. For a behind-the-scenes look at our new brand, read more at [Unveiling Our New Brand: A Conversation with Braze Executive Creative Director Greg Erdelyi](https://www.braze.com/resources/articles/unveiling-our-new-brand-a-conversation-with-braze-executive-creative-director-greg-erdelyi).
+
+### Support for Portuguese and Spanish
+
+{% multi_lang_include release_type.md release="General availability" %}
+
+Braze is now available in both Portuguese and Spanish. To change the language the Braze dashboard appears in, refer to [Language settings]({{site.baseurl}}/user_guide/administrative/access_braze/language/).
+
+### Robust channels
+
+#### Multi-language settings
+
+{% multi_lang_include release_type.md release="General availability" %}
+
+By adjusting [multi-language settings]({{site.baseurl}}/multi_language_support/), you can target users in different languages and locations with different messages all within a single email message. To edit and manage multi-language support, you must have the "Manage Multi-Language Settings" user permission. To add the locale to a message, you'll need permissions for editing campaigns.
+
+#### Message-level one-click list-unsubscribe header
+
+{% multi_lang_include release_type.md release="General availability" %}
+
+The one-click unsubscribe for the list-unsubscribe header ([RFC 8058](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8058)) provides an easy way for recipients to opt-out from emails. You can adjust this header setting to be applied at a message level in your emails. For more information on this setting, refer to [Email unsubscribe header in workspaces]({{site.baseurl}}/user_guide/administrative/app_settings/email_settings/#email-unsubscribe-header-in-workspaces).
+
+#### About email sanitization
+
+Visit our new [sanitization]({{site.baseurl}}/user_guide/message_building_by_channel/email/best_practices/sanitization) article to learn more about the process that occurs when Braze detects a specific type of JavaScript in your email message. Its main purpose is to prevent bad actors from accessing other Braze dashboard users' session data.
+
+#### Inclusion count for Content Blocks
+
+After adding a Content Block in an active campaign or Canvas, you can [preview this Content Block]({{site.baseurl}}/user_guide/engagement_tools/templates_and_media/content_blocks/) from the Content Blocks Library by hovering over the Content Block and selecting the <i class="fa fa-eye preview-icon"></i> **Preview** icon.
+
+#### Canvas statuses
+
+On the Braze dashboard, your Canvases are grouped by their status. Check out the different [Canvas statuses and descriptions]({{site.baseurl}}/user_guide/engagement_tools/canvas/get_started/canvas_status) for what they mean.
+
+### AI and ML automation
+
+#### Brand guidelines for AI copywriting assistant
+
+{% multi_lang_include release_type.md release="General availability" %}
+
+You can now create and apply [brand guidelines]({{site.baseurl}}/user_guide/sage_ai/generative_ai/ai_copywriting/brand_guidelines/) to customize the style of copy generated by the AI copywriting assistant to fit your brand's voice. Set up multiple guidelines for different scenarios to ensure your tone always matches the context.
+
+### New Braze partnerships
+
+#### Adikteev - Analytics
+
+The Braze and [Adikteev]({{site.baseurl}}/partners/data_and_infrastructure_agility/analytics/adikteev/) integration allows you to boost user retention by leveraging Adikteev’s churn prediction technology within Braze CRM campaigns to target high-risk user segments in priority.
+
+#### Celebrus - Analytics
+
+The Braze and [Celebrus]({{site.baseurl}}/partners/data_and_infrastructure_agility/analytics/celebrus) integration seamlessly integrates with the Braze SDK across web and mobile app channels, facilitating the population of Braze with channel activity data. This includes comprehensive insights into visitor traffic across digital assets over specified periods.
+
+#### IAM Studio - Message Templates
+
+With the Braze and [IAM Studio]({{site.baseurl}}/partners/message_orchestration/channel_extensions/email_templates/iam_studio/) integration, you can easily insert customizable in-app message templates into your Braze in-app messages, offering image replacement, text modification, deep link settings, custom attributes, and event settings. Using IAM Studio, you can reduce message production time and dedicate more time to content planning.
+
+#### Regal - Instant Chat
+
+By integrating Braze and [Regal]({{site.baseurl}}/partners/message_orchestration/additional_channels/messaging/regal/), you can create a more consistent and personalized experience across all your customer touchpoints.

+
+With the Braze and [Treasure Data]({{site.baseurl}}/partners/data_and_infrastructure_agility/cohort_import/treasuredata/) integration, you can import user cohorts from Treasure Data to Braze so you can send targeted campaigns based on data that may only exist in your warehouse.
+
+#### Zapier - Workflow Automation
+
+The Braze and [Zapier]({{site.baseurl}}/partners/data_and_infrastructure_agility/workflow_automation/zapier/) partnership leverages the Braze API and Braze webhooks to connect with third-party applications to automate various actions.

-### Copying to workspaces
-
-[Copying campaigns across a workspace]({{site.baseurl}}/user_guide/engagement_tools/campaigns/managing_campaigns/copying_to_workspace/) allows you to get a jumpstart on your message composition by starting with a copy of a campaign in a different workspace. This copy will remain as a draft until you edit and launch, helping you keep and build off your successful messaging strategies.
-
-### Test Currents connectors
-
-[Test Currents connectors]({{site.baseurl}}/user_guide/data_and_analytics/braze_currents/setting_up_currents/#test-currents-connectors) are free versions of our existing connectors that can be used for testing and trying out different destinations. Test Currents have:
-
-- No limit to the number of Test Currents connectors you may build.
-- An aggregate maximum of 10,000 events per 30-day rolling period. This event total is updated hourly on the dashboard.
-
-### Feature flags
-
-[Feature flags]({{site.baseurl}}/developer_guide/platform_wide/feature_flags/about/) allow you to remotely enable or disable functionality for a specific or random selection of users. Importantly, they let you turn a feature on and off in production without additional code deployment or app store updates. This allows you to safely roll out new features with confidence.
-
-### Feature flag experiments
-
-[Feature flag experiments]({{site.baseurl}}/developer_guide/platform_wide/feature_flags/experiments/) let you A/B test changes to your applications to optimize conversion rates. Marketers can use feature flags to determine whether a new feature positively or negatively impacts conversion rates, or which set of feature flag properties is most optimal.
-
-### Merging user profiles
-
-If your search on the **Search Users** page returns multiple user profiles, you can [merge user profiles]({{site.baseurl}}/user_guide/engagement_tools/segments/user_profiles#merge-profiles) by clicking the **Merge duplicates** button. You can select which user profile to keep, meaning this profile will be kept and will gain attributes from the merged profile.
-
-### Performance data by segment
-
-You can now use Query Builder report templates to [break down performance data]({{site.baseurl}}/user_guide/data_and_analytics/reporting/viewing_and_understanding_segment_data/#performance-data-by-segment) by segments for campaigns, Canvas, variants, and steps.
-
-### Updating user profiles
-
-You can now use the [`/users/track` endpoint]({{site.baseurl}}/api/endpoints/user_data/post_user_track/) to update a user profile by phone number or email.
