+
+Reusable LTI Configurations
+###########################
+
+Ulmo supports an important platform improvement: centralized, reusable LTI
+configurations powered by the new LTI Store.
+
+.. image:: /_images/release_notes/ulmo/reusable_lti_configuration.png
+   :alt: LTI component in editing mode, displaying the fields to be edited
+
+This enhancement directly addresses a long-standing pain point: the repetitive,
+error-prone process of entering LTI credentials (Client ID, Deployment ID, URLs,
+keys, etc.) in every course and every LTI block. Now there's a cleaner, more
+scalable way to manage these configurations across your instance.
+
+Centralized LTI Store
+*********************
+
+Ulmo provides a reusable LTI store to centrally manage LTI tool credentials and
+settings in Django Admin, which allows you to define LTI tool configurations
+once, and reuse them anywhere across your Open edX instance.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Site operators will need to install the `ltistore plugin
+   <https://github.com/openedx/openedx-tutor-plugins/tree/main/plugins/tutor-contrib-ltistore>`_
+   to enable the reusable LTI store.
+
+Reusable LTI Configurations in Studio
+*************************************
+
+Course authors can now add LTI tools in Studio using the LTI Consumer component
+configured to reference a "reusable configuration" rather than requiring
+credentials per course block.
+
+See :ref:`Set up an LTI Consumer with Reusable LTI Configuration` for further
+documentation.
+
+.. note::
+
+   In order to use the LTI Store, a site administrator will need to :ref:`Set up
+   a Reusable LTI Store`.
+
+Future Improvements for LTI
+***************************
+
+Building on the foundation laid in Ulmo, the LTI experience will continue to
+improve with both short-term fixes and longer-term UX enhancements. For the
+Verawood release, we will focus on high-impact technical fixes, including
+ensuring configuration integrity when duplicating LTI blocks and improving
+compatibility with Content Libraries. These updates enable reliable block-level
+reusability and reduce the need for repeated configuration across courses.
+
+Beyond Verawood, work will shift toward the redesigned LTI Consumer UX and
+expanded support for global configurations at the course, organization, and site
+levels. Some other lower-priority enhancements remain under consideration as the
+new UX and structural improvements mature.
