 New Mar 02, 2026

Modernized Entities: Data library details page

Based on the access permissions configured in the classic version, you can now view the Data Library details page in the modernized Entities interface. If your permissions don’t allow, the details page opens in the classic version instead.

When you open a Data library record in modernized Entities, the system checks the Data Library type for formula-based restrictions.

If the type uses read or access formulas, the record opens in classic Entities instead of the modernized view. Only records without these formulas open in the modernized Data library details page.

This behavior ensures that records with formula-based access rules continue to function correctly.

 New Mar 02, 2026

Modernized Entities: Introduction of new sections in Data library details page

The details page includes the following section based on your access permissions:

  • Attachments This section on the Data library details page in Entities now displays all documents linked to a data library record, including the paper copy location (if applicable) and an attachments table. The table lists the file name (select to open or download), document date, format, internal document reference (DocRef), checkout status, and creation date. If no attachments exist, an empty table is shown. Visible attachments are determined by your access permissions, so you may see only certain document types.
  • For section The For section displays key information about the primary-linked entity for a data library record and is always shown, even when no data is available. The section is labeled using the data library type name (for example, Minutes for) and appears between the Attachments and Connected entities sections. It shows the entity name, which is selectable and opens the appropriate entity details view based on your access level, and the QuickRef value as read-only. If no primary-linked entity exists, only the field labels are displayed.

  • Notes This section displays free-text notes when the data library type is configured as Note. The section appears after the Summary or UDF sections section, and includes a single long-text Details field that shows the notes for the record. Notes longer than approximately 300 characters are collapsed by default with options to expand the full text and collapse it again; shorter notes are shown in full. This expand and collapse behavior is consistent with other long text fields on the page.

  • Connected entities This section lists all entities linked to a data library record in addition to its primary-linked entity when connected entities are enabled for the data library type. The section appears between the primary-linked entity (For section) and Summary sections and displays a read-only table showing each connected entity’s name and entity type. Entity names are selectable and open the appropriate entity details view based on your access level. If no connected entities exist, the section still appears and shows an empty table, with no sorting, pagination, or column customization available.

The information displayed in these sections depends on your access permissions. Based on your access level, some information might be limited or not visible.

  • Documents (entity level) – Checked out by filter

On Compliance > Reminders and Compliance > Pending events, the For user filter now defaults to Me, so you first see reminders and events assigned to your account.

Modernized Entities: Limited access view on entity details pages

In modernized Entities, you can open an entity details page even if you do not have access to all subpages or child pages. Instead of blocking access entirely, the application now shows a reduced limited access view of the entity details page.

  • The Manage in classic Entities bar and button, allowing you to switch to classic Entities when your permissions there allow additional actions.

Precise storing and submitting individuals’ forenames, middle names, and surnames

To address new Companies House requirements for name formats which are causing discrepancy between company or individual details and the Companies House register, we have introduced the new UK IDV Director/Member/PSC Name Override data library for precise storing of individuals’ names.

The UK IDV Director/Member/PSC Name Override data library allows you to precisely record an individual’s forenames, middle names, and surnames. You can use this data library to control how name elements are submitted to Companies House without altering the individual’s general name information in Entities. Data recorded in this data library applies only to UK identity verification filings, such as CS01 and LL CS01, and, if applicable, incorporations, such as IN01 and LL IN01.

You can use this data library in cases of additional or missing middle names, preferred names differing from formal names, open compound first names, or differences in spelling between internal and Companies House records.

Changes to support mandatory ID verification

We’ve updated UK e-filing messages, automated PDF forms, reports, and wizards to include entity verification requirements mandated by Companies House for individuals from November 18, 2025.

Companies House’s identity verification requirements differ based on the individual’s role. Changes in Entities reflect this to support companies in remaining compliant:

  • After November 18, relevant e-filing messages and auto-generated PDF forms include the mandatory IDV information of UK directors and LLP members.
  • We’ve added support for e-filing EF-VS. From November 18, UK directors and LLP members who are also Persons of Significant Control (PSC) can submit their PSC verification details using the EF-VS PSC verification statement.

    Note

    Companies House mandates the EF-VS to be electronically filed – it cannot be filed in a paper format.

  • During transition period (December 2025 to November 2026), individuals who are not directors or LLP members, but are PSCs in UK entities, can only verify their identity in the month of their birth date, within the set filing period – Entities now includes a report with information on who these individuals are and when they need to submit their IDV information to Companies House.

    Note

    Currently, individual PSCs must submit this information through the Companies House web portal during the first 14 days of the PSC’s birth month.

    Deadlines for individuals’ identity verification filing will be published on Companies House from November 18, and can be checked there.

The Confirmation Statement wizard in Entities generates the relevant documents:

  • The CS01 or LL CS01 confirmation statement that includes the directors’ or LLP members’ verification information
  • A separate EF-VS document for each director or LLP member who is also a PSC
  • The IDV Confirmation Report in HTML format listing other PSCs who must verify their identity with Companies House separately.

Mandatory ID verification: e-filing messages and form changes

We updated forms to include Identity Verification (IDV) codes, also known as Companies House Personal Codes (CHPC). To protect individuals’ personal information, the codes are obfuscated on the auto-generated PDF forms. E-filing messages sent to Companies House from Entities contain the required IDV details.

The updated UK forms will be automatically made available on November 18. Before that date, Entities will continue to use the previous version of the forms.

We’ve updated the following forms to include mandatory ID verification:

  • CS01 and LL CS01 – The change affects the first confirmation statement submitted after November 18. Providing IDV details in Part 6 and Part 2 of the subsequent confirmation statements is not required, and the forms in Entities reflect this.

    Note

    The e-filing message schema sent from Entities to Companies House contains full IDV information, but the CS01 and LL CS01 PDFs generated from Entities show an obfuscated IDV code to protect personal information.

  • IN01 and LL IN01

  • AP01 and LL AP01

  • PSC01 and LL PSC01

    Note

    Identity verification changes affect only Persons of Significant Control who are individuals. Changes in Entities reflect this.

Include or exclude top entities’ external owners in Group Visualization

Group Visualization now gives you more granular control over which external owners (parents) are shown in the charts.

With the new Show top external owners option, you can include or exclude external parents of the top entity in the chart. Changing this setting does not affect other external owners. For example, you can exclude the external owners of the top entity while still showing the external owners of all the other entities in the chart.

External owners are entities that do not meet the criteria of a given chart but are owners of entities included in the chart. For example, your group structure contains external owners when it’s run with the Get all other parents/owners and Include as Additional Data options.

The Show top external owners option is active by default. To hide the external parents of the top entity, in a chart’s Ownership tab, under Show external owners, deselect the Show top external owners option.
