# v1.8.0

### What's new

- Results from running [personal data checks](/platform/capabilities/personal-data-checks) have been improved, including adding a "deceased" check, which is a useful check for fraudulent onboarding attempts.

- You can now additionally configure the [Scan ID step](/platform/capabilities/scan-id):

  - **Scan unsupported back**: by default, we no longer scan the second side of documents where we don't support the second side. 
    However, you can still toggle this setting and explicitly require the step to scan the second side of documents with an unsupported back.
  - **Scan passport data page only** will set the step to scan **only** pages of a passport where there is a machine-readable zone.
    If this is not set, then users will also need to scan the second page of certain passports.

  Note that these settings are also exposed on [the Scan & Verify ID step](/platform/capabilities/scan-verify-id), however, in that case, only the **web** SDK will respect this configuration.
  Mobile SDKs do not support these fields.

- On the web SDK, you can now customize the start, and, and progress screens.
  This is accomplished by using the [`startScreen()`](/platform-web-sdk/types#startscreen), [`endResultScreen()`](/platform-web-sdk/types#endresultscreen), or [`progressScreen()`](/platform-web-sdk/types#progressscreen) props.
  Read more in the [Web SDK documentation](/platform/sdk/web/configuration).

- You may also see an **Additional data extraction** field inside the **Scan ID** and **Scan & Verify ID** capabilities.
  While not bound to this release, this is a new field that we introduced recently.
  It is used to extract any work authorization restrictions for US social security cards.
  Toggle it on in case you need this information as part of your workflows.

### Coming soon

In the UI, you might see two new capabilities greyed out: **Upload & Verify** and **Upload Non-ID**.
These are two new capabilities that we are currently working on, which will allow you to upload both ID and non-ID documents, and customize their processing.
These capabilities are planned for one of our next releases.

### Bug fixes

- We fixed a bug where results provided by [the Scan & Verify ID capability](/platform/capabilities/scan-verify-id) weren't fully passed through the Platform, which led to confusion around why this step failed 
- Some fixes in the workflow builder reducing misconfigurations.
- Fixed issues around email invites and [verification links](/platform/verification-links).
- General error and status reporting fixes.
