Wow, this is an incredibly useful summary — thanks for putting it all together...! It’s really handy to see how Employee Center (Pro) has evolved release by release, especially with so many enhancements like AI Search, Guided Self-Service, content governance, and kiosk support for deskless workers.

The new features like topic-based microsites, reusable news templates, and external content connectors look especially powerful for large organizations. It’s great to have everything archived in one place to track how these updates build on each other. Really appreciate you sharing this!
