Where to find the latest updates in Family Tree?

Is there a good source to find the latest updates in the FamilySearch Family Tree program? There seem to be changes and upgrades quite frequently, but we find out about them by accident when we come across them weeks or months later. Any suggestions?

A shame there isn't a dedicated filter for "What's New at Family Tree" as there are regular updates, of course, but I'm afraid I lost patience paging through the "What's New at FamilySearch" section in order to try to find any fairly recent ones!

The "What's New at FamilySearch" blog is great for learning which new historical records have been added. However, I'm looking more for changes in the FamilySearch program, policies and processes. For example, simple things like the recent switch from an arrow to an icon to show additional spouses for an individual. We normally learn about such things when we try to do something we've done before and discover that it's different now. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to reference some weekly update on changes in FamilySearch to stay up on changes? I serve at a FamilySearch Center, and we are supposed to be the "experts", but we usually learn about changes from patrons who come in and ask us how or why it has changed.
