## What's new

- **Blind review for chosen applications.** On a round's `Workflow` step, blind review can cover
  every application in the round or only the ones you tick. Every other application reaches its
  assessors un-anonymised, and the anonymised preview says so. See
  [Blind review](/administrator/assessments/assessment-rounds#blind-review).
- **How assessors declare conflicts under blind review.** Keep the applicant anonymised, so
  assessors declare against the title or reference number, or show the applicant's name and
  collaborators on the Conflict of Interest page. Everything else stays anonymised either way.
- Both are chosen before the round is published and can't change after it.
