3. Inter-Entity Distribution Journals: As part of the year-end period compliance in Simple Invest 360, the distribution paid can now be posted directly into the ledger of the beneficiary entity. This means that when a distribution is made, instead of recording it separately between entities, the distribution can be recorded directly in the beneficiary entity's ledger via the Inter-Entity Journal Tool.
4. Property Dashboard: We have not one, but two new integrations to the Property Dashboard!!!
- New integration with Compare n Save. The BGL and Compare n Save collaboration has been established to deliver you leading home loan comparison and broking services.

8. Documents Screen: You can now rename files on the Documents screen! You no longer need to delete documents and re-upload to rename them.
9. Digital Signing: You can now resend the original digital signature email to unsigned recipients, providing greater flexibility and convenience for signing documents.
