Here we are in February, and our code releases just might make you swoon – the February product releases are on their way! These releases will be live in all regions by the end of the day on Friday, February 20, 2026.
We're adding a new Look and Feel settings area (modeled on the LibGuides look and feel settings) to make it easy for you to set your preferred text styles and colors, button colors, and link style and colors. Admins can find these new settings by heading to Admin > System Settings > Look and Feel > Style Defaults.
We’re bringing you a fully refreshed, Bootstrap 5 friendly suite of LibAnswers single-type widgets! To find these new widgets, head to Admin > Widgets & API > Create or Edit a widget.
You can now copy-paste images into LibChat, both on the operator and patron side of the conversation!
You can also turn off the sound for specific chat actions – so if you want to hear sounds for patron chats but not for internal chats, now you can! Head to your account settings > LibChat Access > Audio Alert Customizations, and set any of the chat events to "No Sound".

We’ve added a new field in the event creation screen for “Event Production Cost” to help track the total cost associated with putting on an event, including costs like performance fees, catering, supplies, etc.
LibMaps now offers a "pin"/location icon to display on public map pages above corresponding Stack hotspots. To add a pin to your map searches, admins can head to Admin > LibMaps > Discovery Layer Integration > Map It Button > Button Icon and choose the icon you'd like to use.
LibMaps now integrates with EBSCO’s FOLIO locate! Head to Admin > LibMaps > Discovery Layer Integration > FOLIO Locate Integration to get started.
LibMaps also now integrates with Primo NDE! Primo NDE clients can head to Admin > LibMaps > Discovery Layer Integration > Primo NDE Add-on.

We’ve made several updates to the Bootstrap 5 System Look & Feel experience, achieving feature parity with the BS3 module. This includes Tabs & Boxes customization, Favicons, and Language Options. Head to Admin > Bootstrap 5 Transition Tool to adjust these settings.

We’re introducing a new Trash Can feature for datasets, so if you delete a dataset and all its associated data, you’ll have up to 30 days to restore that data without Support’s intervention. Head to Admin > Trash Can to see any datasets that have been deleted following the release.
We’ve made several additional small bug fixes to help improve the daily use of LibInsight!

We’ve improved the ability to resize images, including using pixels to define an image’s height/width, and introducing object fit properties to control how an image should be stretched or cropped to fit its container.
We've added a way to resize icons using pixels, so it's much easier to set a series of icons to use the same height/width.
We’ve improved the CSS validation found in the Custom JS and CSS areas. We've implemented a new linter which you can opt in to running, and you'll be able to save the custom CSS you create regardless of whether or not it passes validation.

We’ve added new controls for date/time fields to help you prevent patrons from selecting dates that occur in the past, and require patrons to select a date that’s at least X days in the future.
We've added the ability to map a user's user ID field to a field in LibWizard, to help ensure that the data entered in LibWizard matches what's being released by your SSO. Head to Forms > Authentication & Visibility > Public Access Control -> Map user info to fields.
