This release refreshes the whole iluminr workspace — a lighter theme and a new navigation. Everything you use is still here; what's changed is how it looks and where you find it. Nothing you've built is affected, and your links and integrations keep working.    --- ### New Navigation Menu ### iluminr has a new, lighter left-hand menu. The items you'll use most: - **Live events:** your event rooms (now decoupled from Microsimulations). - **Communications:** as before. - **Microsimulations:** upgraded, with **My Microsimulations** (your content library), **Deployments**, and an **Archive**. - **Threats:** shown only for organisations with a third-party threat-intelligence integration. ![](https://help.iluminr.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-03-2026-02-02-36-9295-AM.png?width=670&height=574&name=image-png-Jul-03-2026-02-02-36-9295-AM.png) --- ### What's changed? | **Previously** | **Now ** | | --- | --- | | Activated  Multiplayer Microsimulations opened within Event Rooms | Microsimulations has it's own menu; and Multiplayer Microsimulations no longer live in the Event Rooms | | Event Rooms | Live events | | Multiplayer Microsimulations and Single Player Microsimulations were separate | My Microsimulations and Deployments house both Single Player and Multiplayer Microsimulations. | --- ### A lighter look iluminr has moved to a brighter, more open visual system without changing how things work. --- ### For existing customers iluminr URLs and integrations are unchanged, and the upgrade arrives automatically with the July 2026 release - there's nothing to install or update.  **💡Tips:** - Spend a minute in the new left menu before your next deployment — the biggest change is that Microsimulations moved out of Event Rooms. - Deploying a Multiplayer simulation works differently now — see *Get to know the Deployment Portal*. --- ### Frequently Asked Questions. #### Do I need to do anything to get the new look? No — it arrives automatically with the release. #### Have my links or integrations changed? No. URLs and integrations are unchanged. #### Where are Microsimulations located? They're now under the Microsimulations menu (My Microsimulations, Deployments, Archive), out of Event Rooms.   --- ### Related Articles: -   -   **Need more assistance?** [Submit a support ticket](https://iluminr.io/resource-centre/support-ticket/?hsLang=en) - [iluminr for Response and Communications](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-response-and-communications?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Get Started with Using iluminr](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-response-and-communications?hsLang=en#get-started-with-using-iluminr) - [Communications](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-response-and-communications?hsLang=en#communications) - [Critical Event Management](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-response-and-communications?hsLang=en#critical-event-management) - [Training Options](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-response-and-communications?hsLang=en#training-options) - [iluminr for Admin Users](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-admin-users?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Get started with managing iluminr](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-admin-users?hsLang=en#get-started-with-managing-iluminr) - [Integrations](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-admin-users?hsLang=en#integrations) - [People and Permission Management](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-admin-users?hsLang=en#people-and-permission-management) - [Event Room Management](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-admin-users?hsLang=en#event-room-management) - [Alert Automations](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-admin-users?hsLang=en#alert-automations) - [Troubleshooting](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en) - [Manage Microsimulations](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/manage-microsimulations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [START HERE](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/manage-microsimulations?hsLang=en#start-here) - [Multiplayer Content Management](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/manage-microsimulations?hsLang=en#multiplayer-content-management) - [Single Player Content Management](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/manage-microsimulations?hsLang=en#single-player-content-management) - [Learnspace for Single Player Microsimulations](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/manage-microsimulations?hsLang=en#learnspace-for-single-player-microsimulations) - [Deploying Microsimulations](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/manage-microsimulations?hsLang=en#deploying-microsimulations) - [Microsimulation Insights (reporting)](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/manage-microsimulations?hsLang=en#microsimulation-insights-reporting) - [Participate in Microsimulations](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/participate-in-microsimulations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Participate in Single Player Microsimulations](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/participate-in-microsimulations?hsLang=en#participate-in-single-player-microsimulations) - [Participate in Multiplayer Microsimulations](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/participate-in-microsimulations?hsLang=en#participate-in-multiplayer-microsimulations) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.iluminr.io/hs-fs/hubfs/iluminr_logo.png?width=111&height=24&name=iluminr_logo.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://iluminr.io?hsLang=en) [iluminr](https://iluminr.io/?hsLang=en) - [Submit a Support Ticket](https://iluminr.io/resource-centre/support-ticket/?hsLang=en) - [Terms of Use](https://iluminr.io/terms-of-use/?hsLang=en) - [Privacy Policy](https://iluminr.io/privacy-policy/?hsLang=en) Copyright © 2025, iluminr
