Learn about the latest system updates, data releases, and educational opportunities for data.census.gov [ [link removed] ].

*Latest System Updates*

In November, we released new updates to improve your experience on data.census.gov [ [link removed] ]. With this release, you will now see:


* Simplified URLs
* A new Accessibility control panel that allows you to customize a variety of display settings
* Added the Hotkey access to the single search bar.
* Technical updates to improve screen scaling.
* Continued search engine optimization
* Fixes to 31 defects

A major feature of this release is the new accessibility control panel. The accessibility control panel allows you to customize a variety of display settings. To engage the new accessibility control panel, click the person icon in the lower left corner of the screen to access the settings to personalize your display.

We also simplified the URLs. We removed *?/cedsci?* from all URLs to make them easier to read. Please note that the previously saved URLs with the *?/cedsci?* naming convention will continue to work in your browser.

When viewing the single search bar, we have added a Hotkey access feature. When you press the ?*/*? key, your cursor becomes active in the single search bar. This allows you to type or edit search criteria without using a mouse.

Finally, we performed behind-the-scenes technical updates to improve screen scaling. These updates will provide an automatic adjustment of application scaling to best use the size of the user?s display, ensuring the content fits correctly and is readable.
