Mock Providers toggle, reorderable verification methods, and COPPA 2026 guide

Today's release adds two new Compliance Studio capabilities and a new developer guide for the COPPA 2026 Rule Amendments.

What's new​

  • Mock Providers / Real Providers toggle. Verification flows running in Test Mode now show a TEST MODE toolbar with a switch between Mock Providers (the default) and Real Providers. Mock Providers presents a built-in simulator that lets you submit personas (Adult, Teen, Child, or Passes / Fails Age Check), enter a custom age range or date of birth, and simulate Inconclusive or Fraudulent failures. Submissions flow through the same server path as real providers, so webhooks, sessions, and DOM events behave identically.
  • Verification method ordering. Each enabled method on the Assurance and Verification tab now has a drag handle. Drag methods to change the order shown to users in the Family Connect widget, use Reset to default order to restore the k-ID default, and apply different orders per-market via Market Specific Rules.
  • New Compliance Guides section. A new top-level docs section for compliance playbooks launches today with its first entry: 2026 COPPA Rule Amendments. The guide walks COPPA-subject operators through the configuration updates needed before the April 22, 2026 enforcement date.
