### Highlighted Features In This Release

#### Revamped Form Builder 🏗️

This release has a big focus on installing new precursor framework to make way for an all new form building tool! This will be made available as Beta **in the *next* Web and Android Release**, with the goal of helping unify and highly improved form building experience across platforms. Here’s a sneak peek:

Up until now, only the App-based form builder tool could be used to build [child/targeted forms](/v1/docs/targeting-web-forms-for-devices-and-languages). Now this feature can be fully managed from the web.

#### New Patient Tracker Report

A new report is available to provide an overview of each Participant’s status in an exported Excel format. This is helpful for Study Managers to check data cleanliness. This new report can be accessed from the Study Progress Report.

#### Participant Web Portal Form Corrections

Participants who fill out a form on the Participant web portal, where errors or missing fields are flagged, will now more easily be able to navigate the errors rather than scroll through the form to search for the issues.

### Other Worthy Mentions

- The API now allows external integrations to get specific form URLs to share in integrations for directing end users to a specific subject/form.
- Strengthened system checks for consent signatures to ensure device level issues do not lead to signature loss.
