+# What's new in Visual Studio subscriptions
+
+We update the Subscription benefits package often to make it more useful to you. Read on to learn about the latest features, sorted quarterly.
+
+## 2018 Q2 (April-June)
+
+Here's a quick recap of what's new in Q2.
+
+### Cloud administrators
+
+We've added new functionality for cloud admins that makes it easier to manage cloud subscriptions:
+
+* [**Bulk assignments**](/visualstudio/subscriptions/assign-license#bulk-assignments): Add and upload multiple subscribers, in bulk.
+
+ ![Add multiple users by using the Bulk Add button](media\bulk-add-multiple-subscribers.png)
+
+* [**Export**](/visualstudio/subscriptions/exporting-subscriptions): Export a list of your users and details about their assignments. A list such as this can prove useful when you want to track assignments and expiration dates.
+
+   ![Export a subscriber list to Excel by using the Export button](media\export-subscriber-list-to-csv.png)
+
+
+* [**Bulk edit**](/visualstudio/subscriptions/edit-license#editing-multiple-subscribers-by-using-bulk-edit): Edit the subscription information of multiple subscribers, in bulk.
+
+ ![Edit multiple users by using the Bulk Edit button](media\bulk-edit-multiple-subscribers.png)
+
+* Explore the new fields that are available in the [**Add Subscription** experience](assign-license.md):
+
+  * **Notification email**: If your organization is not using Azure AD and you want to use a different email for notifications other than the sign-in email, you can add it.
+
+    ![Add a new notification email address](media\add-new-subscriber-notification-email.png)
+
+  * **Communication preferences**: Choose the language that you want to use to send assignment emails.
+
+    ![Change the language to use when notification emails are sent](media\change-subscriber-communication-preference.png)
+
+  * **Add reference**: Add reference notes to the subscriptions that you manage.
+
+    ![Add your own reference notes to each subscription](media\add-subscriber-reference-notes.png)
+
+* [**Resend assignment email**](resend-assignment-email.md): Send a notification email again to anyone on your subscriber list, and for as many times as you want to.
+
+  ![Resend the activation email to any user or multiple users whenever you want to](media\resend-subscriber-activation-emails.png)
+
+* [**Filter**](search-license.md): Organize and filter your subscriber data to best suit your needs.
+
+  ![Filter the subscriber data, as based on available fields](media\filter-subscriber-data.png)
+
+And that's it for now!
