# Origin Studio Release Notes — May 2026

**Features**

* **Smarter library search:** Introduced library filtering with section-level authorization, so search results respect the sections each user is permitted to see.
* **Restored ID lookups:** Brought back IMDb and EIDR ID lookup endpoints for reliable cross-referencing of external identifiers.
* **Record deletion and restoration:** Added the ability to delete, restore, and permanently delete records, giving teams more control over the record lifecycle.
* **Richer datasets and grids:** Added new columns and data to the compilations and package grids, a deep link from field creation straight to the datasets page, and direct record imports from Origin Nexus.
* **Expanded audit log:** Introduced a full audit log capability — tracking change source and reason, grouping related events, filtering by resource, and surfacing history in a new panel on the record details page.
* **Broader data ingress:** Expanded data ingress to capture more dataset values and alternate identifiers, added support for a new source adapter, and introduced tag and micro-genre ingestion.

**Improvements**

* **Backend stability and performance:** Consolidated underlying services across search, contributors, credits, utilization, and global metadata for a more reliable platform.
* **Faster data refresh:** Adjusted caching behavior so previously loaded data refreshes more responsively.
* **API standards compliance:** Improved adherence to web standards for content negotiation and error responses.
* **Audit log polish:** Refined the audit log interface and added more relevant fields for easier review.
