The updates focus on improving user experience, performance, and infrastructure. Key changes include Material UI 6 upgrades across several components, enhanced login and reset flows, optimized backend endpoints, and improvements to search and item management. Read further for details.

We're working on an improvement for categories in our OER library. To head to direction, we first started to migrate the language categories. Starting from now, the item's language will be used by the searching engine in the library to find matching collections. Please set your items' language with your content's language if it exists. Currently Graasp supports english, french, german, italian, spanish and arabic.
