# 1.175.0 - 26 February 2026 ### Release Overview This release introduces improvements to link handling in mailouts, a refreshed default email template, and ongoing reliability and stability improvements across the platform. ### Improved link handling in mailouts Links in email content are now handled more safely and consistently to improve reliability and reporting accuracy. UbiQuity now automatically checks whether a link belongs to the same account before applying personalisation. Links that point outside your account will continue to work as expected without personalisation being applied. For links within your account, you can now explicitly choose to depersonalise a link when needed, for example when sharing content externally without recipient-specific data being appended.

Here’s an example showing automatic link personalisation being applied to UbiQuity links from the same account.

Here’s an example showing how you can untick the Personalise checkbox for same-account UbiQuity links to remove personalisation.

Once a static mailout has been sent, tracked links can no longer be edited. This helps preserve tracking accuracy and ensures reporting remains consistent after delivery. Friendly link names can still be updated at any time.

Below is the updated Mailout Dashboard, including the Edit Link Names page.

When you open the Edit Link Names page, the links will appear greyed out and cannot be edited. The same fields will also appear greyed out in Google Analytics.

### Updated default email template for new accounts The global default Easy Edit email template has been updated and will now be used as the default template in new accounts, as well as in existing accounts that have not customised their default email template. This updated template provides a cleaner, refereshed starting point when creating mailouts using Easy Edit. You can learn more about using this template by checking out our [**guide**](https://resources.ubiquity.co.nz/home/using-engage/email/default-easy-edit/introduction).
### Simplified automated mailout filtering The WHEN filter has been removed from Automated Mailouts as its original use for targeting date fields is now fully covered by standard date filters. Because usage of the WHEN filter is very low across the platform, retiring it helps simplify mailout setup while keeping the same targeting outcomes available. ### Improvements and Bug Fixes UbiQuity is constantly making small changes to ensure that, behind the scenes, everything will go as smoothly as possible and to continue to build a strong foundation to make improvements to the platform. * Improved platform security through a series of behind-the-scenes enhancements and preventative safeguards. * Improved system reliability and performance during periods of high activity. * Reduced the likelihood of timeouts and errors by strengthening internal monitoring and processing. * Fixed issues that could cause errors when editing or viewing existing layouts. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
