# Release Notes: 16 March 2026

#### This release focuses on strengthening system stability, improving AI-assisted workflows, and enhancing integration reliability across the Comtrac platform. The update addresses a number of know issues affecting case management, task creation, document export, and location handling. Improvements have also been made to AI prompt behaviour and system notifications to provide a more stable and predictable user experience. No new modules or features have been introduced in this release.

#### **1. What’s New ** 

#### This release focuses on platform integrity, usability improvements, and resolution of known issues. 

#### **1.1 Enhancements ** 

**Bulk Exhibit Management**

Enabling users to efficiently update or delete multiple exhibits at once. These improvements significantly reduce manual effort when managing large volumes of exhibit records and improve operational efficiency for investigators.

#### **1.2 Fixes**

The following issues have been resolved:

**Case & Offence Management**

- Deleting an offence element now correctly removes associated AI prompts and messages
- Duplicate AI prompt records are no longer created when saving prompt configurations
- Errors when creating allegations containing large amounts of text have been resolved
- Import Field Note to Case no longer requires administrator permissions

**Task Management**

- Tasks can now be created when addresses contain only a region

**Address & Location Accuracy**

- Incorrect latitude and longitude coordinates applied to addresses in the Frontline App
- Time zone handling inconsistencies across system services

**Audit Logging**

- Running sheet creation from correspondence not appearing in audit logs

**API Behaviour**

- Unclear system responses when delete actions failed

#### **1.3 Benefits**

This release delivers the following improvements:

**Platform Stability**

- Reduced system errors during case, allegation and task creation
- Improved reliability when exporting briefs of evidence

**Investigation Workflow Reliability**

- AI prompts load the correct default prompt when no custom prompt is configured
- Duplicate AI prompt records prevented

**Data Accuracy**

- Corrected address coordinates in the Frontline App
- Standardised time zone handling across system services

**Compliance & Traceability**

- Running sheet creation events now recorded in audit logs

#### **1.4 Impacts**

**User Impact**

Users may experience:

- Fewer system errors when creating cases, allegations and tasks

#### **1.5 Controls & Oversight ** 

Where AI prompts are used within the platform, outputs remain advisory only.

Investigators and authorised users retain responsibility for reviewing, editing and approving AI-generated content before it is used operationally.

Audit logging improvements within this release further strengthen transparency and compliance oversight.
