+Open edX Olive Release (December 2022)
+########################################
+
+Welcome to the Olive release! This release provides significant improvements and
+optimizations for authors and learners. Here's what's ready for you now:
+
+🧑‍🏫 For Course Authors
+********************************
+
+:ref:`Enhanced Text Editing in Studio<Olive editing>`:
+Author text components faster with full-screen editing, visual table creation,
+one-click image insertion from your gallery, special characters, emoticons, and
+undo/redo - all without touching HTML code.
+
+:ref:`Powerful Moderation Tools for Discussions <Olive discussions moderation>`:
+With the :ref:`new Discussions experience <Olive discussions>`, moderators can now
+endorse answers, close or edit posts with documented reasons, track learner
+activity and reported content, plus enable discussions for any unit with a
+single checkbox rather than manual topic configuration.
+
+:ref:`Integrate Third-Party Discussion Tools <Olive discussions 3party>`:
+Connect your courses with Ed Discussion, Yellowdig, InScribe, or Piazza via
+LTI - bringing advanced features like analytics dashboards, graded discussions,
+LaTeX support, and collaborative wiki-style answers directly into your learning
+experience.
+
+:ref:`Control Course Features in One Place <Olive pr>`:
+Turn course tools like Progress pages, Wiki, Calculator, and Discussions on or
+off with a single click — no more digging through advanced settings to enable
+features your learners need.
+
+
+🎓 For Learners
+*****************
+
+:ref:`Redesigned Discussion Forums <Olive discussions>`:
+Navigate conversations faster with a tabbed interface, mark answers to
+questions, search across content and users, like posts inline, and track
+activity with interactive post summaries, plus improved moderation tools for
+course teams.
+
+:ref:`Reset Randomized Problem Banks <Olive randomized>`:
+Perfect for flashcard-style study sessions and repeated practice, learners can
+now practice exam prep by resetting randomized content blocks to get fresh
+questions from a course's problem bank.
+
+:ref:`User Login Glowup <Olive login>`: Olive provides a
+streamlined registration, sign in, and Forgot Password experience.
+
+🔮 Upcoming in Palm (June 2023)
+**************************************
+
+We're working hard on even more improvements in our :ref:`Palm release (out
+now) <Palm Product Marketing Notes>`! You can look forward to:
+
+**Redesigned Problem Editor**: Create and edit problems in a full-screen visual
+editor without writing Markdown. The new editor features answer options,
+scoring, and settings all in one place, plus live previews and easy access to
+advanced OLX when you need it.
+
+**Streamlined ORA Grading**: Grade open response assessments faster with
+side-by-side rubrics, file previews (PDFs, images, text), team coordination
+features, and batch grading, all in one intuitive interface that lets you review
+multiple submissions without switching screens.
+
+**Issue Verifiable Digital Credentials**: Learners will be able to share
+tamper-proof, instantly verifiable program credentials to digital wallets,
+giving them portable proof of accomplishments they control and can present to
+employers, schools, or anyone they choose in seconds.
+
+**Schedule Emails to Students**: Instructors will be able to schedule course
+emails to send later instead of immediately - perfect for timing announcements,
+reminders, and updates when students are most likely to engage.
+
+
