Main Features
Infrastructure Enhancements for Upcoming Features
The February release includes significant behind-the-scenes infrastructure work to support several upcoming enhancements planned for later releases. This work includes preparation for the following initiatives:
- Handling reading list items linked to removed e-resources (LENH-I-6031)
- Enriching citations with additional metadata, such as open access status, OER indicators, and inventory type
- Supporting multiple file uploads per citation
These infrastructure updates ensure that Leganto can deliver these enhancements reliably as they are introduced. For more information about planned developments, see the 2026 roadmap.
Set "No List Expected" in Bulk Using Course Bulk Update Task
Idea Exchange URM-240421The Course Bulk Update job (Admin > Run a Job > Courses > Course Bulk Update) now supports the No list expected attribute. Staff can select the No list expected checkbox in the job and choose either Add No list expected or Remove No list expected for all courses in the selected set, which enables efficient large-scale updates.
A new No list expected facet is also available on the Fulfillment > Courses page. It enables staff to filter courses based on whether the No list expected attribute is selected (Yes) or not selected (No). This enhancement improves course management by enabling institutions to quickly identify and organize courses that are intentionally not expected to have lists.
Course Material Visibility in Rialto
There is now a deeper integration between Rialto and Leganto that provides greater visibility into course-related materials during marketplace searching and selection. Rialto now includes course information for book citations with ISBNs that are associated with current and future courses. This data is updated on a weekly basis.
Two new filters are available in Rialto's advanced search for institutions that use Leganto:
- Reading List Course Dates (Current and Future) — This filter limits results to titles that appear on either active or upcoming Leganto courses.
- Reading List Tags — This filter enables libraries to refine results based on tags applied in Leganto. Institutions define these tags themselves.
Titles that appear on Leganto reading lists display a Course Material badge in Rialto at both the work and offer levels. The badge indicates that the title is required or recommended for one or more current or future courses. Hovering over the badge displays the associated course codes.
When an item associated with a Leganto reading list is added to a Rialto cart, citations with a matching ISBN are linked to the newly acquired inventory. Citation alerts and statuses are updated as the order progresses, based on the rialto_purchase_complete parameter (Configuration > Leganto > List Management > Course Reserves Automatic Statuses). Institutions can also configure whether citations with equivalent ISBNs (such as different formats or editions of the same book) are eligible for linking with the allow_citation_link_for_alternate_isbn parameter (Configuration > Collection Development > General > Other Settings).
This enhancement strengthens coordination between Leganto course activity and Rialto acquisitions, supporting timely identification and fulfillment of course-driven materials. For a full overview of these functionalities, see Leganto Integration in the Rialto documentation.
Additional Enhancements
- February 2026 Leganto URM-234530
Leganto now supports working at higher zoom levels to improve accessibility. Students can use Leganto at up to 400% zoom, and instructors can work at up to 200% zoom, without loss of functionality or layout issues. - February 2026 Leganto URM-316893The default empty-state messages in Leganto have been updated to reflect current interface terminology. Unless you customized system labels, the following out-of-the-box labels now reference List catalog instead of the deprecated All lists tab:
- my_lists.student.empty_state – New label: You don’t have any lists yet. Change your search to List catalog to find lists.
- my_lists.empty_state – New label: You don’t have any lists yet. Create a list or change your search to List catalog.
This update removes references to outdated terminology and aligns system messages with the current tab names in the interface.
- February 2026 Leganto URM-244198
Job reports for Leganto notifications now include detailed counts of successful and failed email deliveries for Detailed Notifications, Full Detailed Notifications, and Upcoming Due Dates Notifications.When notifications are sent through a job, Leganto now generates events that identify successful and failed email deliveries. Total counts for each outcome are displayed in parentheses. Selecting an event opens an Event Report that shows the primary identifiers of users whose emails were delivered successfully or failed.
Reports on sent emailsThis enhancement provides institutions with clear visibility into email delivery status, supporting more effective tracking and troubleshooting of notification jobs.
- February 2026 Leganto URM-319177
The Bolk integration now provides two separate actions under Fulfillment > Course Reserves > Citations: Create Bolk Request and Update Bolk Request. Previously, these actions were combined into a single dynamic button that could not be customized or reordered.
Create Bolk Request and Update Bolk Request in the Action orderWith this update, each action can be configured independently, like other row actions in Leganto. Institutions can choose to display one or both actions and control their order in the row action list to better align with local workflows.
- February 2026 Leganto URM-252613
Two Leganto email letters—Link Marked As Broken and Mark As Broken Resolved—were previously unavailable in Norwegian. They are now fully translatable to ensure consistent, localized notifications and more accurate communication for Norwegian-speaking users. - February 2026 Leganto URM-
The Citation Style Language (CSL) styles were refreshed from the central repository as of the January release, which includes a snapshot from October 2025. - January 2026 Fulfillment and Resource Sharing URM-315436
Alma now records which user uploaded a file to a citation. When a file is uploaded, the system stores either the uploader username or, if the file was added by a job, the job ID.In Alma, this information is visible in the File Upload component under the label Uploaded by. This information will be added to analytics in a future release
Information on who uploaded a file - January 2026 Leganto URM-315184
Leganto now supports copying LTI links to use in Moodle when using Moodle 4.5. Moodle 4.5 no longer accepts the full launch URL. When instructors select Copy link to Moodle in the Share Link dialog in Leganto, Leganto now automatically copies only the required URL segment whenever the LMS is detected as Moodle 4.5 or later.Additionally, the Moodle linking help page in the Share Link popup now redirects to updated documentation specifically for Moodle 4.5, ensuring institutions receive setup guidance appropriate for their LMS version.
This enhancement eliminates the need for instructors to manually edit URLs when creating shareable links in Moodle, thereby reducing setup errors and enabling a smoother workflow.
- January 2026 Leganto URM-306092
Leganto now displays the original list name and the associated course code(s) on the Duplicate List screen. The course code has a Copy to Clipboard icon next to it, which makes it easy for instructors to reuse elements of the old code when searching for the new one.
Original list name and the associated course codeThis improvement streamlines rollover workflows and reduces errors when linking lists to new course codes based on previous ones.
- January 2026 Leganto URM-314959
The exit icon on the right pane, which opens when viewing or editing the full details of an item or when adding items, now displays the updated label Close pane (Esc) instead of Close pane.
Updated Close pane tooltipThis enhancement provides clearer guidance for the available keyboard shortcut and supports quicker navigation back to the list.
- January 2026 Analytics and Insights URM-317449
Previously, when users added an item through Cite it! and a matching record was located in the library repository, the citation origin in the analytics reports was set to repository. This prevented customers from seeing the true source of the added item.Items added through Cite it! are now labeled with the origin CiteIt regardless of whether a matching repository record is found. This update enables more accurate analytics, helping institutions better track how items are added to reading lists.
- January 2026 Analytics and Insights URM-316023
The default year for Leganto Usage Dashboard has been changed to 2025. This refers to the academic year. - January 2026 Leganto URM-XXXXXX

Further accessibility enhancements were implemented in zoom functionality, color contrast, tab navigation, and focus order. - January 2026 Leganto URM-316495
Shareable links for courses now open on the My Lists tab instead of the List Catalog. As a result, instructors see the Create List button immediately after opening a link, enabling them to start a new list with the linked course preselected.This update ensures that users land directly in the most relevant workspace, where they can view existing lists for the course and begin creating new ones without extra navigation.
- January 2026 Leganto URM-316496
List headers now have a cleaner and more accessible visual layout. List titles now appear on the first row, while list information and links are grouped on a separate second row for improved clarity.

Resolved Issues
- February 2026 Leganto SF: 08292104 URM-321026
When medium or large font sizes were chosen in Accessibility settings, selecting multiple citations caused the list header to be cut off. This issue was fixed so that the header now displays correctly during bulk selection regardless of the chosen font size. - February 2026 Leganto SF: 08286222 URM-321022
In full view, the text in the Item details and Related items tabs always displayed at the default font size, even when medium or large font sizes were selected. This issue was fixed so that both tabs now display the selected font size correctly. - February 2026 Leganto SF: 08270022 URM-320842
Physical inventory in library search sometimes displayed holdings for the wrong campus, and the More Details view did not always show accurate holdings. These issues were resolved so that search results now consistently display inventory for the user’s campus and the More Details view always shows correct holdings. - February 2026 Leganto SF: 08283089, 08279068, 08282853, 08282882, 08284629, 08285899, 08285666, 08286119, 08286582, 08285691, 08285865, 08285478, 08285818 URM-320697
Previously, the Course Loader could not update courses if the update involved removing campuses from an existing course. This was fixed so that the Course Loader can now successfully remove campuses during course updates without generating errors. - February 2026 Leganto SF: 08264017 URM-319594
Expanding a section with a long description and then scrolling sometimes caused the description to disappear. In these cases, the text only reappeared when the user refreshed the page. This issue was fixed so that section descriptions now always display correctly. - February 2026 Leganto SF: 08191804 URM-319591
Selecting the Sync Bolk button for a citation in the Reading List refreshed all citations in the list, rather than just the one selected. This was fixed so that only the selected citation’s tag is updated when syncing. - February 2026 Leganto SF: 08117027, 08223583, 08219940, 08094179 URM-253772
If Alma and Leganto were open in separate browser tabs and platforms had different UI languages, making changes in Leganto caused the Alma interface to switch to the Leganto UI language. This was fixed so that Alma now retains its originally selected UI language regardless of actions taken in Leganto. - February 2026 Leganto SF: 08116021 URM-313892
When using the library search in Leganto, CDI records for titles in the Films on Demand collection were appearing as not available, even though they have an access link in Primo. This was fixed so that these records now display as available in Leganto. - January 2026 Leganto SF: 08247449 URM-319387
Approved digitization requests in Alma and Leganto were not displaying DCS links even after syncing. This was fixed so that once a digitization request is approved, the corresponding DCS link now appears correctly in both Alma and Leganto. - January 2026 Leganto SF: 08211752 URM-318705

When sorting a list by author in alphabetical order, items with only Additional Persons were incorrectly grouped separately from items that included an author. This caused all items with just Additional Persons to appear ahead of items with an author. This was fixed so that sorting now correctly considers both the Author and Additional Persons fields, producing the proper overall alphabetical order. - January 2026 Leganto SF: 08210155 URM-318390
When running the Reading List Citation Update Task job on itemized sets, the number of errors shown in the summary sometimes did not match the errors listed in the detailed report. This has been fixed so that the summary now accurately reflects the actual issues reported in the job details. - January 2026 Leganto SF: 08200902 URM-317780
The Cite it! extension was not retrieving metadata correctly from The Open Textbook Library in Chrome and Firefox. This has been fixed so that metadata from this supported site is now correctly retrieved. - January 2026 Leganto SF: 08193452 URM-317724
The DRLS bibliographic mapping rules did not support the Original Thumbnail field. As a result, it was not possible to populate this field using a mapping rule. This has been fixed so that the Original Thumbnail field is now correctly populated according to the mapping rule. - January 2026 Leganto SF: 08226079 URM-317412
When using the Rialto search in Leganto, selecting More Details caused the availability to hang indefinitely.

Dragging and dropping items between sections did not always work as expected. Items could only be moved to the next section, and attempts to drag over multiple sections would fail unless the intermediate section contained other items. This was fixed so that citations can now be dragged and dropped freely between any sections.
