Automations: Merge Records Action
The record merge action seamlessly consolidates records, detecting duplicates and updating a single record with the latest information. You can automatically de-duplicate contact records, consolidate task updates and more.

Automations: Clear / Append / Replace
Field updates in automations have been enhanced to support the update action type, allowing you to append, replace, or clear existing value(s) for specific fields.

Record Section Descriptions
Sections can now have their own descriptions with up to 750 characters of text to describe the fields they contain. Educate your users, provide instructions or describe the workflow supported by the section.
