The Spring '22 Release includes the following features:

The new format improves administrators' efficiency to better focus on building and managing their search experiences.

A new set of filtering capabilities on the "All Listings" page will also give companies an easier way to manage Listings and the data sent to Yext's network of 200+ global integration partners.
