Announcement APIs
Announcements are global, cloud, or product-level messages with a wider impact. An example from the past would be a Covid-19 message. Other examples would be global security vulnerabilities like log4j, and support center down, and so on. Announcements are not linked to an issue or maintenance. They are used to communicate with customers on cloud or product-level updates.
Announcements are now part of the Status API collection. Customers can query and get announcements to integrate with their internal dashboards. Check out the new endpoints here.

Early Adopter Program
For a chance to test some upcoming features, be a part of Adobe’s early adoption program.

This simplifies the process of submitting an Adaptive Form to an Adobe Workfront scenario, allowing you trigger a Workfront Fusion scenario on submission of an Adaptive Form.
Right to left languages support – Adaptive Forms built on Core Components can now be presented in a Right-to-Left (RTL) language like Arabic, Persian, and Urdu. The RTL languages are spoken by more than 2 billion people globally. Using a form in RTL language allows you to extend the reach of your adaptive forms to cater to these diverse audiences and select into RTL markets. In certain regions, it is also a legal mandate to provide forms in the local language. By accommodating local languages, you not only open doors to a broader audience but also ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
Protect your documents with DocAssurance APIs (Part of Communication APIs) – The DocAssurance APIs empower you to safeguard sensitive information by signing and encrypting the documents. Through encryption, the contents of a document are transformed into an unreadable format, ensuring that only authorized users can gain access. This fortified layer of protection not only shields valuable data from unauthorized eyes but also provides peace of mind. The Signature APIs let your organization protect the security and privacy of Adobe PDF documents that it distributes and receives. This service uses digital signatures and certification to ensure that only intended recipients can alter documents.

Real User Monitoring (RUM) Data Service offers a more precise reflection of user interactions, ensuring a reliable measure of website engagement. It is a great opportunity to gain advanced insights into your page performance. This is beneficial for customers who use either Adobe-managed CDN or non-Adobe-managed CDN. For customers using a non-Adobe-managed CDN, automated traffic reporting can now be enabled for them, thus removing the need to share any traffic report with Adobe.
