Any new changes to FamilySearch Centers?

Curious, I just read we do not need to fill out monthly reports.

Are changes for the Centers listed in any written communication reports?

We DO have to fill out monthly reports for our FamilySearch Centers. Only the few large regional centers do not have to fill out reports. That was clarified last evening (Wednesday 15 May 2024) by Elder Richins.

I don't like providing this answer, but unfortunately the answer about written notification of changes is "sometimes." The FSC Operations Guide (like the Church's Handbook) is just updated online since there is apparently no longer a written copy, but we don't always see written announcements that changes have occurred.

The most recent edition is at: https://www.familysearch.org/en/fieldops/article/familysearch-center-fsc-operations-guide

Unlike the Church's Handbook, it doesn't even have a listing of recent changes in the front of the Guide.

SUGGESTION TO FAMILYSEARCH: The Church Handbook has a "Summary of Recent Updates" in the front of it so we can easily stay updated. Please do the same with the FamilySearch Center Operations Guide.
