Changelog for August 30, 2021

Less input repetition for reflows, new lists for screening entities, and bug fixes ⏩

Released new API format for Flow sessions and a handful of deprecations, which are documented on our API Guides
The API is currently in the "Soft Deprecation" phase, meaning we return a forwards-compatible API response so you can upgrade your code without downtime.
The "Hard Deprecation" date is September 24th, 2021

When reflowing a customer, Flow now intelligently inherits PII that the customer has already provided, or prompts them to re-enter information depending on the kind of reflow that is occurring. This reduces unnecessary input repetition for your customers while still allowing you to ask customers for corrected information when required.
🇨🇦 Canada Consolidated List of Sanctions (API code: CA_CON) is now available for screening entities
🇺🇳 United Nations Consolidated List (API code: IZ_UNC) is now available for screening entities

New sanction lists

Improved OCR behavior to account for more variation in how passports are photographed
Improved behavior of ID document image cropping on Flow
Added support for verifying horizontal Guam drivers licenses
Added better document value normalizing for Screening. This results in significantly better matching when providing inconsistently formatted SSNs, passport numbers, business numbers, and more. We normalize the values on the source watchlist data as well as your inputs to increase reliability.
Improved ID number extraction handling for passports on Flow
Improved the design and clarity of in-progress flow sessions on the dashboard
