We're thrilled to announce a quick fix for a sidebar display issue. In Gopher for Gmail, Gopher for Chrome, and Gopher for Users, the icons at the bottom of the sidebar were truncating the Help Center button. The sidebar is now back to normal, and the Help Center button is returned to full view.
Thank you for being so patient.
- We are excited to announce recent updates to our password reset process for Gopher for Users, aimed at enhancing user convenience and accessibility.

the
password reset email. On the email sent with the new password,
the User cards now only include the user's name, Username,
and
password directly within the email body for quick reference.
-
CSV File Attachment: Users now receive an
attached
.CSV file containing First Name, Last Name, Username and
Password
for impacted users, offering a convenient backup option.
- Branding Refresh: The email design now features the CDW logo, ensuring a consistent and recognizable experience for our users.
