--- title: "Older Versions" description: "Release notes for older versions of the **Lucanet CFO Solution Platform**." source_url: https://support.lucanet.com/en/whats-new/whats-new-administration/older-versions language: en last_updated: 2026-06-23 --- # Older Versions This page archives the release notes for older versions of the **Lucanet CFO Solution Platform**. > **Note:** The versions of all solutions that you are currently using and those of the CFO Solution Platform are displayed when you select **About Lucanet** from the **Help** section in the CFO Solution Platform. ### New in Version 260423 (Release Date 2026-05-04) Apart from bug fixes and performance enhancements, the release contains the following new features: #### Test and Validate Safely: New Test Update and Sandbox Environments Lucanet now offers non-production environments so you can test on an isolated copy of your production system without affecting your live data or configuration. Two environment types are available: - **Test update environment**: Runs the **next** planned software version, available for a limited testing period ahead of each planned production update. It is particularly relevant for business processes subject to regulatory or compliance requirements, where pre-release validation helps ensure continuity before the update takes effect. - **Sandbox environment**: Runs the **same** software version as your production system. It can be used for testing configurations, training new users, or validating workflows before applying changes to production. Both environment types are currently available for limited solutions and can be purchased as an add-on to your existing license. Contact your account manager for availability and pricing. For more information, see [Non-Production Environments](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/getting-started/non-production-environments.md). #### New Features for Lucanet Copilot With this release, the following new features are available for Lucanet Copilot: **Redesigned User Interface** Lucanet Copilot has a refreshed look & feel, which includes: - The Copilot panel now opens with a welcome screen showing suggested prompts. - A sidebar with quick access to start a new chat using the + icon - Toolbar actions for pinning, expanding, and closing the Copilot panel **Persistent Conversation History** You can now start a new chat with our Lucanet Copilot without losing previous conversations. Each conversation is saved as a separate thread and is accessible via the history panel, which is searchable and grouped by recency (e.g. "Previous 7 days"). Conversations are automatically named after the first message you send. You can also rename or delete any conversation thread via the three-dot menu in the chat history panel. This allows you to organize and manage your conversation history. **Full-Screen Mode** Lucanet Copilot can now be expanded to full screen, providing more space for longer conversations or complex outputs. **Streaming Responses** Lucanet Copilot's responses now stream word by word as they are generated, so you can see the generated output progressively rather than waiting for the full response to appear at once. **Important - Chat History Retention Extended to 30 Days** Previously, chat history was stored for 24 hours only. Starting now, conversation history is retained for up to 30 days. ![Shows the Lucanert Copilot panel in expanded mode. On the left is a chat history, and on the right is a response to a chat question, including a graphic.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-administration/older-versions/_images/en/copilot-new-look.png) The new Look & Feel of Lucanet Copilot ### New in Version 260331 (Release Date 2026-04-14) Apart from bug fixes and performance enhancements, the release contains the following new features: #### Improved Navigation with the Redesigned Main Menu The main menu of the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform has been redesigned to provide a clearer and more consistent navigation experience.

This new feature currently aggregates **Platform** and **Task center** notifications, providing a single point of access for these communications. The **Notifications** section is displayed as follows, for example: ![Displays the 'Notifications' section in the main menu](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-administration/older-versions/_images/en/notification-panel.png) 'Notifications' section in the main menu In the **Notifications** section, you can: - **Configure notification preferences** by selecting which specific events for **Task Center** and **Administration** to be notified about and choosing in-app and/or email notifications - **View and filter notifications** by section where they were generated, based on your access permissions, while maintaining a 30-day notification history - **Manage notification status** by marking items as read or unread individually or processing all notifications at once - **Click notifications to be redirected** to the section on the platform where the notification was generated, allowing you to view or perform further actions This enhancement streamlines your daily workflow by centralizing notifications from multiple systems, ensuring you stay informed about relevant activities across the platform while maintaining full control over your notification preferences. #### Enhanced 'About Lucanet' Dialog with SBOM Integration We optimized the **About Lucanet** dialog with a comprehensive new structure that displays platform and solution information in three organized columns: **Solutions**, **Version**, and **[SBOM](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/glossary.md#software-bill-of-materials-sbom)** (Software Bill of Materials). The new interface features expandable sections for your solutions and the Platform Services, with their respective subcomponents and version details. For admin users, the new **SBOM** column provides access to downloadable SBOM files in JSON format, enabling vulnerability scanning, license compliance, and supply chain risk analysis. SBOMs offer complete transparency into software composition, significantly strengthening security posture and supporting regulatory compliance efforts. The new **About Lucanet** dialog is dispayed as follows, for example: ![Displays the 'About Lucanet' dialog with download options for SBOMs.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-administration/older-versions/_images/en/about-lucanet-sbom.png) 'About Lucanet' dialog with downloadable SBOMs #### User Role Management for Lease Accounting Lucanet now provides user roles specifically for the **Lease Accounting** solution, enabling administrators to control access and permissions with six predefined roles: **Data collector**, **Executive reviewer**, **Lease operations administrator**, **Auditor**, **Settings administrator**, **Full access administrator**. Each role has specific permissions for different functional areas, ensuring users only access the features they need for their responsibilities and improving security and workflow efficiency within the Lease Accounting solution. As an administrator, you can assign these user roles when creating or editing users in the user management of the CFO Solution Platform. To ensure continuity, existing users with Lease Accounting access will automatically receive the **Full access administrator** role. For more information on the specific permissions of each role, see [User Roles in Lucanet Lease Accounting](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/lease-accounting/user-roles-la.md). #### Independent Licensing for Disclosure Management and XBRL Tagger Previously, XBRL Tagger access was automatically included with Disclosure Management licenses. With this update, you can now allocate licenses to **XBRL Tagger** and **Disclosure Management** independently, allowing for more precise license management and user permission control. ### New in Version 250624 (Release Date 2025-07-04) Apart from bug fixes and performance enhancements, the release contains the following new features: #### Teamwork Made Easy: The New Task Center The new **Task Center** is now available in the **main menu** of the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform.

This enables administrators to create a SEA instance and download the corresponding sender and receiver certificates. These certificates are used both for installing **Lucanet.Script Execution Application (SEA)** in Lucanet.Software Manager and for setting up the application in Consolidation & Financial Planning to execute ETL scripts. The **Certificates** workspace is displayed as follows, for example: ![Displays the 'Certificates' workspace. The 'Download sender' and 'Download receiver' options of an instance are outlined in red.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-administration/older-versions/_images/en/certificates-workspace.png) 'Certificates' workspace For more information on Lucanet SEA, see [Installing and Updating Lucanet.Script Execution Application (SEA)](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/consolidation-financial-planning/basic-configuration-cfp/install-and-use-opsea.md). #### Enhanced User Management for Consolidation & Financial Planning The user management for Consolidation & Financial Planning now offers various functions that are also available in Lucanet.Financial Client. For example, the following user roles can be assigned when creating or editing users: - **Data model** roles - **Editor**: Editors have read and write permissions for all workspaces or certain workspaces within the Lucanet data model. - **Group Report data collector**: Group report data collectors have read permission for the Lucanet data model. They can also execute all tasks required to collect data in relation to Lucanet.Group Report. - **Observer**: Observers have read permission for all workspaces or certain workspaces within the Lucanet data model. - **User management** roles - **Master**: Masters have unrestricted write and read permissions for user management. There must be at least one master per database. - **Administrator**: Administrators have write and read permissions for user management. Administrators can, similarly to the master role, manage all users and user groups, but have more limited permissions than masters. An administrator is only able to assign the permissions defined by the master. - **Observer**: Observers have read permission for all workspaces or certain workspaces within the Lucanet data model. **Note**: The user management roles described above apply only to Lucanet.Financial Client. For [user management in Lucanet CFO Solution Platform](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/administration/user-management.md), users need access to the **Administration** section of the platform. In addition, administrators now have extensive options for defining read and/or write **permissions** for Consolidation & Financial Planning users: ![A dialog for defining user permissions in CFP is displayed.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-administration/older-versions/_images/en/permissions-cfp.png) Permissions for CFP users To be able to effectively edit users for Consolidation & Financial Planning, the platform **Administrator** must be assigned the role of **Master** in Lucanet.Financial Client. All settings made in the user management of the CFO Solution Platform are then automatically synchronized with the user management in Lucanet.Financial Client. #### Adding Banking & Cash Management Roles in User Management With the release of our new **Banking & Cash Management** solution, it’s now possible to create and manage user roles for this solution directly within the platform’s user management. Two roles are available: - **Administrator**: Users with the **Administrator** role are granted comprehensive access to Banking & Cash Management. Administrators can view all data, including financial figures and identities, and access all configuration settings—such as users, channels, bank profiles, and accounts. - **No specific role**: Users assigned with **No specific role** receive the **Essential** role within the Banking & Cash Management solution and have only the most basic permissions. This allows access to the user interface and their own profile, without permission to view data or use any functions.\ \ For a user with **No specific role** to be able to access data or perform any actions, the Administrator must grant the necessary permissions in the **Banking & Cash Management** solution. Depending on requirements, the Administrator can enable access to selected identities, functionalities (such as processing payments or reviewing account statements), or authorization processes. ### New in Version 250529 (Release Date 2025-06-03) Apart from bug fixes and performance enhancements, the release contains the following new features: #### Referencing Dimensions in Copilot Prompts To enhance clarity when working with the **Lucanet Copilot** in **Consolidation & Financial Planning**, you can now precisely reference dimensions in your Copilot prompts using a simple **forward slash** ("/") notation. When typing a forward slash, a drop-down list of available dimensions such as **account**, **data level**, or **organization element** appears. You can select any dimension to narrow your request. After selecting a dimension, another drop--down list is displayed, showing only elements that are relevant to that dimension. This makes it easier to filter and choose the right data. #### Modernized User Interface and Centralized Navigation We are excited to introduce a redesigned user interface for the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform. With an improved main menu that centralizes all essential functionalities, this update makes it easier for you to navigate through the platform and manage your tasks efficiently. The new user interface is displayed as follows, for example: ![Shows the user interface of the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform, which consists of three parts: main menu, menu, and detail view.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-administration/older-versions/_images/en/user-interface-platform.png) User interface of the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform Key changes of this feature include: - **Unified Navigation**\ \ The quick access bar and top bar have been removed.

Platform administrators can now accurately maintain personal name information for each user. This enhancement ensures more complete and reliable user data across the system. > **Warning:** Existing users are not affected until their accounts are updated, at which point first name and last name must be entered before saving. #### User Management Limited to Licensed Solutions Administrators of the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform now see only licensed solutions when creating, updating, or managing multiple users. Options for unlicensed solutions are hidden, providing a cleaner and more efficient user management interface. ### New in Version 250407 (Release Date 2025-04-10) Apart from bug fixes and performance enhancements, the release contains the following new features: #### Lucanet Copilot Available The new Lucanet AI functionality **Lucanet Copilot** is now available and is here to help you with everyday questions as well as gaining quick insights on Consolidation & Financial Planning data. ![The start page of the CFO Solution Platform is displayed.

You can either log in with your Lucanet credentials or via SSO, if external authentication is enabled for your Lucanet CFO Solution Platform account. This new feature provides a seamless user experience when logging in and streamlines access to your Lucanet services. #### UX and Usability Improvements in Administration In Lucanet 25, we have introduced a number of updates to the Administration section that are designed to improve the user experience and increase user-friendliness. Some of the main improvements are: - **Navigation improvements in the list of users:** By using infinite scrolling, administrators can now better navigate the list of users by first displaying 20 users and then loading more by scrolling as needed. By default, the most recently updated users appear at the top of the list. - **Moving user configuration to the right side panel:** Administrators of the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform can now use the right side panel to create or update users. The side panel replaces the previous dialog and offers the same fields, input requirements, and validation checks. This allows an intuitive and efficient configuration of all necessary user settings. ![Displays the 'Create User' panel on the right side of the window. The rest of the window is grayed out.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-administration/older-versions/_images/en/side-panel-create-user.png) Side panel for creating users - **Optimization of the license display:** Lucanet 25 offers you as administrator an improved overview of your license information. The table in the Licenses workspace shows the used and available license slots per user role for each solution, whereby user roles with 100,000 or more license slots are marked with the infinity symbol (∞). In addition, the user roles are listed on separate lines for a better overview. The workspace Licenses, is displayed as follows, for example: ![The 'Lucanet licences' workspace is displayed.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-administration/older-versions/_images/en/licences-workspace.png) 'Lucanet licences' workspace ### New in Version 1.3 (Release Date 2024-09-24) Apart from bug fixes and performance enhancements, the release contains the following new features: #### Enhancement of the Login Options: New Workspace 'External Authentication' From now on, administrators of the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform can configure and enable an External Identity Provider in the **External Authentication** workspace. The following authentication protocols are available: [**OIDC**](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/glossary.md#oidc) and [**SAML**](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/glossary.md#saml). The **External authentication** workspace is displayed as follows, for example: ![Displays the ‘External authentication’ workspace in the Platform Management. The option 'Enable external authentication' and the authentication method 'OIDC' are activated.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-administration/older-versions/_images/en/workspace-external-auth.png) The ‘External authentication’ workspace If external authentication is activated, the **Enable external authentication** option is available when creating or editing a user. If external authentication is not activated within the **External Authentication** workspace, the option to **Enable external authentication** will not be visible for the administrator when creating or editing a user. Thus, the users will continue to log in with their Lucanet credentials. This enhancement allows for more flexibility and security when logging in, improves the user experience, and enables seamless integration into our customers' existing IT infrastructure. #### Improved User Management Efficiency: New Labels And Filter Options for Special User Groups In version 1.3, we have further optimized the user management. Administrators of the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform can now identify and manage users more quickly using the following labels: | Label | Users | |---------|---------| | the lucanet certified professional icon | Lucanet.Certified Professional users | | the locked icon | Permanently locked users | | the external authentication icon | Users for whom external authentication is activated | As soon as one of these options is configured for a new or existing user, the label appears after the user name in the list of users. If you hover over the label, a tooltip displays the corresponding information. In addition, a new filter above the list of users enables a targeted search and quick display of the three user groups. #### No More Licenses Needed for Lucanet.Certified Professional Users With the new release, Lucanet.Certified Professional users no longer require license slots. This allows Lucanet.Certified Professional users to be assigned roles in a licensed solution even when there are no more license slots available.
