+## What's new?
+
+InvenioRDM v13.0 focuses on enhancing **administrative capabilities**, improving **community features**, and introducing powerful new tools for **data management and organization**.
+Here are some of the **major highlights**, be sure to check the release notes for a comprehensive list of new features and improvements.
+
+### Communities enhancements
+
+The Communities functionality has been significantly expanded with exciting new features:
+
+**Themed communities**
+
+Communities can now be customized with unique fonts, colors, and homepages. These themes apply to all community pages, including records and requests, allowing for a more branded and distinct user experience.

+</p>
+
+**Subcommunities**
+
+InvenioRDM v13.0 introduces hierarchical relationships between communities through subcommunities. This allows for structured organization, where records from child communities are automatically indexed in parent communities.
+A dedicated "Browse" page lists subcommunities and collections, providing a clear overview.
+
+**Collections**
+
+Collections are a powerful new feature enabling dynamic, query-based groupings of records that automatically update. Collections provide dedicated pages for records matching specific criteria and can be organized hierarchically by subject, resource type, funding program, or other metadata fields. This is ideal for grouping content by research disciplines, publication dates, or funding programs.
+

+</p>
+
+**Curation checks**
+
+It is now possible to configure automated checks in your communities to provide instant feedback on draft review and record inclusion requests.
+Checks provide feedback to both the user and reviewer that submissions to your community are compliant with your curation policy.

+
+### New metadata fields
+
+We have introduced new metadata fields that will allow you to capture more useful information when uploading:
+
+* A dedicated **copyright** field is now available, ensuring clear and comprehensive copyright information.
+* We've added a new **Thesis** set of optional metadata fields. We've also reorganized the thesis section, grouping thesis fields together.
+* The **edition** field has been introduced under the **Imprint** set of optional metadata fields, providing a way to specify the edition of a book.
+* A new **identifiers** field, composed of id and scheme, has been added to the **Meeting** set of optional metadata fields.
+
+### Dashboard: shared with you
+
+You can now easily find records and requests shared with you.

+</p>
+
+### Compare revisions
+
+A brand new compare revisions feature has been introduced, allowing administrators to audit record updates and track changes over time. This provides a transparent history of modifications, crucial for data integrity and compliance.
+
+<p align="center">

+
+### Audit Logs
+
+A significant addition is audit logs, a new feature designed for tracking system activities and providing a detailed record of events accessible from the administration panel.
+
+### Jobs
+
+This release introduces a new jobs feature, providing a comprehensive way to manage asynchronous tasks via the UI or REST API.
+Jobs are triggered via the admin UI or REST API, run using Celery, and support logging, argument validation, and result tracking.
