Release Notes

• Review Automation Rules Engine — Admins can now build named automation rules that automatically create performance reviews based on employee tenure milestones, hire anniversaries, or quarterly triggers — replacing the previous all-or-nothing global toggle.

• Skills Explore Catalog & Learning Resources — Employees can now browse and search the full skills and certifications catalog, view learning and exam-prep resources per skill, and receive HR notifications when they earn a bonus-eligible certification.

• Inspection Visibility Grants — Admins and managers can now grant additional viewers to individual inspections — by person, group, department, location, or role — through a dedicated Manage Visibility panel, giving precise control over who can see sensitive inspection records.

Product Updates — June 6, 2026

• News Feed Redesign: Pinned Posts, SMEs, Feed Tabs, and Managed Topics — Users now navigate a tabbed feed with six categories, admins can pin posts and assign Subject Matter Experts to managed topics, and the feed gains infinite scroll and audience targeting with live post counts.

• Automatic Scheduled Merge.dev Data Syncs — Admins can configure a sync frequency on any Merge.dev integration and the platform will automatically pull fresh data from connected accounting or HRIS systems on that schedule, with no manual action required.

• Team Builder — Managers describe a project or upload an RFP and the system uses AI to extract required skills, propose a team from the existing workforce, and surface skill gaps including uncovered roles and single points of failure.

• Ballots — Admins can now run structured, auditable votes — Yes/No resolutions and multi-candidate elections — with a frozen voter roster, auto-resolution, full audit history, and notification emails.

• Calendar group invites: live membership — Members added to an invited group after a calendar event is saved now automatically see the event and can RSVP, without any manual re-invitation or background job.

What's New — June 3, 2026

• Enforced Broadcast Approval Workflows — Admins can now require editorial sign-off before any broadcast goes live, with a hard gate that blocks non-admin senders from publishing or scheduling without an approved request.
