This change was originally scheduled for February 2025 but has now been adjusted to July.

Impacted features

• Saved searches:  saved searches in MyFolder will sync to the new interface. Those in custom folders will not.
• Journal alerts & search alerts: will not migrate to the new interface and will need to be recreated.
