## Resolved Issues

- **DESK-7430** - OLL load files from TrialDirector 6.8 version failed to load properly into TRIAL DIRECTOR causing all child pages to duplicate. Pages will now correctly import.
- **DESK-10498 - PTF and PCF Multi-Volume import would not continue pagination for volumes. For example, if volume one ended at page 150, volume two would re-start at one instead of at page 151. Fixed to continue pagination appropriately.**
- **DESK-10855** - If a user had a clip with multiple segments and select to save, the segment grid would reset to the beginning. This has been fixed to stay in the current location once save is selected.
- **DESK-10814 -** When in Administration under role management, a user role could not be removed. Fixed Administration to properly modify roles.
- **DESK-10655** – Updated Evidence to adjust background to a dark color when creating an annotation using a light color.
- **DESK-10652** – Updated Evidence edits on text annotations to retain control when user moves focus.
- **DESK-10653** – Updated Evidence edit annotation to apply highlights over existing non-highlighted annotations to be displayed correctly.
