# Scheduling with Next Gen features- switchover

**Release date: 23rd February 2026**

With this release, [Next Generation](https://amplience.com/developers/docs/schema-reference/) features are switched on by default for Dynamic Content scheduling, giving you a consistent experience across scheduling without needing to take any manual action.

## Next Generation features in scheduling

Next Generation features are now shown by default on the **Editions** and **Edition conflicts** screens in the Scheduling tab. These include enhancements such as compact cards and drag-and-drop functionality.

### Editions screen

On the Editions screen, you'll notice Next Generation 'look and feel' features when working with slot content.

The enhanced look and feel provides a more intuitive experience, making it easier to find validation errors, and arrange slot content using actions to add items above or below, and move them directly to the top or bottom.
