# DesignStudio Array v3.1.0 Release Notes

#### Release date

March 2026

#### Key Highlights

* New **Array Finder** tool to match up to **50k variants (rsID/cgID) or genomic loci** against Illumina commercial base content.
* Supports **target entry through the UI or file upload** using a template.
* Allows selection of the **species genome build** (for example, *Homo sapiens* build 37 or 38) before running the search.
* Displays a **summary of overlapping targets across commercial arrays** with downloadable summary and detailed results files.
* Outputs an **excludedContent** file listing targets excluded from the search.

* Invalid characters in design names do not trigger an error
* Email templates still include some irrelevant error and warning codes
* Intermittent UI error may occur in Chrome
