## What's new

- **Ask about this round.** Where the organisation has turned it on, a grant's Landing Page and
  its application form now show `Ask about this round`. Ask a question and get an answer drawn
  only from the round's published Landing Page and guideline documents, with `Sources` naming the
  document and section each answer came from. If the documents don't answer it, the panel says so
  and shows how to contact the funder
  ([Applying for a grant](/applicant/applying-for-a-grant#ask-about-this-round)).

- **Check my answers against the guidelines.** Beside the application form, get hints that point
  to the round's published criteria. Your answers are sent only if you tick
  `Include my current answers`. A hint is never a decision: every answer and hint says so.
