4. Rollback & Monitoring

+

The release should be monitored for navigation regressions, search behavior, Unified Simulation panel issues, Analyzer workflow errors, and styling inconsistencies caused by the logo and UI updates. If a critical regression appears in production, restore the previous stable files and re-check the affected panel, page, or module before redeploying.

5. How to Report Issues

+

When filing an issue, please include: steps to reproduce, browser/OS, affected page or tool, screenshots or recordings, console logs where available, and whether the issue is related to Unified Simulation, Analyzer, search, welcome screen, legal pages, Advanced Kit, or navigation changes.
