February has brought another round of updates, improvements, and fixes to **EX**ACT, ensuring a smoother experience for your practice. From a refined email verification process to enhancements in NHS estimates and key bug fixes, we’ve been working hard to make your daily workflows more efficient.

This month, we’re also giving you a sneak peek at upcoming improvements to laboratory work functionality—designed to streamline your processes even further.

### User updates

Improvements to the email verification process have been introduced with a new **verify email** option in the contact details within user settings. A simple checkmark or cross next to the email address shows the verification status.

### Bug fixes

Some of the issues resolved this month include;

🐜 Dragging appointments with multiple services without short notice list time was causing unnecessary coordinated duties blocks to be added.  
🐜 Family appointments disappearing from the appointment book on the day of the appointment – this only affected family appointments created via the *create next appointment* option when copying to the clipboard to edit and create a future family appointment.  
🐜 The image scanning app was not displaying names correctly in the contacts tab, ignoring any characters after a space, eg. Sarah A would display as Sarah.  
🐜 Exiting a task using the close option (x button) was not saving updates to notes.

### Coming soon - Laboratory work

The laboratory pop-up has been simplified with elements removed and redesigned to improve functionality;

📄 The 'expected date' has been removed.  
📄 The 'cost fields' have been removed.  
📄 'Laboratory code' is a simple drop-down menu. 

In addition to these changes, the pop-up window will not show if; 

📄 The specialist list contains no labs.  
📄 The specialist list contains only one lab – this will be used as the default lab.  
📄 The user has enabled the new ‘Hide Labwork Popup’ setting in User Setting.

All the updates and content in this blog have been implemented in **EX**ACT V25.21 to V25.25.

We publish our **EX**ACT release blogs every month to help you digest all the changes that have happened each month.
