### Archive and restore categories

System administrators can now archive categories that should no longer be available for new submissions without deleting them. Archived categories remain available in the admin view and continue to be associated with existing submissions, and administrators can restore them when needed. For details, see [Categories](https://docs.uipath.com/automation-hub/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/setting-up-and-managing-the-automation-categories#category-archiving-and-restoration).

### Shared option sets for assessments

System administrators can now create reusable option sets for single-choice and multiple-choice assessment questions. Updating a shared option set applies the change to every question that uses it, while archived options remain associated with historical responses. For details, see [Shared option sets](https://docs.uipath.com/automation-hub/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/new-customize-assessments#shared-option-sets).

### Dropdown answers for inline assessment questions

System administrators can now display answer options for inline single-choice and multiple-choice questions as either a list or a dropdown. The dropdown layout provides a compact alternative to displaying options as a list. For details, see [Add a New Question](https://docs.uipath.com/automation-hub/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/new-customize-assessments#add-a-new-question).

### Category scopes for ideas and business processes

System administrators can now scope Business Areas to ideas, business processes, or both. The selected scope is inherited by descendant categories and determines where each category is available, including submission forms and the Process Repository Capability map. For details, see [Category scope](https://docs.uipath.com/automation-hub/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/setting-up-and-managing-the-automation-categories#category-scope).

### Reordering Business Areas

You can now reorder Business Areas on the **Categories** page to control their order when users submit ideas or business processes. For details, see [Reorder Business Areas](https://docs.uipath.com/automation-hub/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/setting-up-and-managing-the-automation-categories#reorder-business-areas).

### Sub-process hierarchy in the Process Repository

Business processes in the Process Repository can now be organized into hierarchies. When submitting a business process, submitters can use the **Sub-process** field to select one or more existing processes that should become sub-processes of the process being submitted, creating up to four levels of nesting. Sub-processes appear indented under their parent in the Workspace table view, making hierarchical process structures easier to navigate and understand. For details, see [Sub-process hierarchies](https://docs.uipath.com/automation-hub/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/about-the-process-repository#sub-process-hierarchies).

### Delete an automation using OpenAPI

You can now delete an automation from Automation Hub programmatically using the new `DELETE /api/v1/openapi/automations/{id}` endpoint. The endpoint accepts an optional comment in the request body. For details, see [Delete an automation using OpenAPI](https://docs.uipath.com/automation-hub/automation-cloud/latest/api-guide/delete-automation-using-openapi).

### Bug fixes

- Resolved an issue where the CSV export from the Process Repository workspace contained incorrect data. The exported file now accurately reflects the process entries shown in the workspace.
- Resolved an issue in the Cost Benefit Analysis where implementation phases in the Baseline table were not processed in the correct order. Phase start and end dates are now calculated sequentially as expected.
