## June 26, 2024

**Enhancements**

- Added the ability to [generate Text Area or HTML properties from existing product data (like properties pertaining to weight, height, and specific qualities) through AI](docId\:GtWOXjdwucxxhUbYZX-vR).
- Transitioned to using the [Opti ID Admin Center](docId\:VBLJux5kON1IQDdOU04cF) for user management, giving you a single login point to switch among your Optimizely products. See the [Opti ID documentation](docId\:gfcl33i3WnqFAwFi9CT6y) to learn more about how to use it.
  *Some users in my organization did not receive an activation email, but there are some users who have activated already. What do I do?*
  If certain users in your organization did not receive an email, you can invite specific users through the [Invitations tab](docId\:tEvGdnrPv1OsgsObIJ-DA) in the Admin Center.
  You must use an account with Admin Center privileges. All current accounts with the Admin role within PIM have those privileges.
  *I already used the link provided earlier, do I need to do anything again?*
  No. If you can access login.optimizely.com and use your new credentials, there are no pending actions.
  *Can I still use the old link to access PIM?*
  Yes, the old link will redirect you to the Optimizely SSO Login Page.
  *I want to revoke some permissions from PIM users. How do I do that?*
  You must be logged in with an account that has Admin Center privileges. Follow the steps to add or remove permissions for [Groups](docId\:WAK--fqnE1yE8NKjckoq7).
