June 2026 - Pre-Release Notes

We're excited to announce a set of powerful new features coming with our June 12th, 2026 release. Driven by your valued feedback, these enhancements will streamline workflows, boost productivity, and elevate your overall user experience.

Pre-Release Notes

DD360 / BNM360 / Vendor360 / Cyber360 / Assess360 / MSA360 clients

Platform

We're introducing several enhancements to improve platform functionality and usability:

  • Product / Account Contacts: Manage contacts directly on products and automatically include them when publishing assessments or creating schedules. Instead of manually adding contacts each time, users can quick-populate from product contacts during individual or bulk publishing workflows, reducing repetitive data entry and streamlining assessment coordination.
  • Contact Roles: Define roles for product contacts and publish assessments by role rather than selecting individual contacts. This simplifies large-scale publishing by letting teams target the right people based on their role, reducing setup time and ensuring consistent contact coverage across assessments.
  • Question Filtering by Custom Attributes: Filter assessment questions by custom attributes directly on the evaluation page, making it easier to locate specific questions across large questionnaires. Filters combine with existing tag, section, and status filters, giving users a faster, more flexible way to navigate and manage assessments.
  • Numerical Risk Area Values: Numerical risk area values are now captured at the time of publishing, so historical assessment scores remain stable when weights are updated. This ensures consistent reporting over time without requiring manual tracking of past values.
  • Import / Export Prepopulation Settings: The "Do Not Prepopulate" setting introduced in 26.3 now extends to questionnaire import and export. Users can tag questions in bulk via a dedicated column in the import / export file, making it faster to configure prepopulation rules across large questionnaires without updating each question individually.
  • Performance and Reliability: This release brings several improvements to address reported issues across the application. We’ve updated the assessment evaluation page to resolve scrolling and stuttering issues. We’ve also investigated and tackled a variety of logout issues impacting users.
  • Simplified Module Tabs: To streamline navigation and reduce visual clutter, we have shortened several module tab names (e.g., My Assignment is now Assignments).

Assessments

We’ve made enhancements to the Assessments Module to improve its usability and provide greater workflow flexibility:  

  • Dynamic Assessments: Show or hide specific questions and sections of an assessment based on Partner and/or Product attributes. This allows you to maintain a single master questionnaire that dynamically adapts to each respondent, eliminating the heavy maintenance burden of managing multiple sub-questionnaires for different markets or verticals.
  • Publishing Executive Report to respondents: Users can now share the Executive Report for an assessment with respondents directly in the platform, where they can also view and download it.
  • Quickly View Assessment Approval Stages: A new Approval Stage field is available on the Assessment table and the Assessment with Partner report, allowing you to easily track an assessment's current stage in approval workflows.
  • Quickly open links on Bulk Evaluation: When answers include links in Bulk Evaluation users can quickly see and click the link without first opening answer details.

Note: To enable either the Dynamic Assessments or the Executive Report publishing feature, please contact the Support Team.

Research Assistant - Agentic Platform

This release introduces CENTRL’s Agentic Platform within Research Assistant. Teams can create and run governed agents that gather relevant source material across the CENTRL Platform and connected systems, perform multi-step analysis, and generate rich deliverables instead of relying on one-off chat prompts or manual data assembly.

  • Connect Your Data Ecosystem: Connect approved internal and external data sources so agents can search, synthesize, and analyze information across the systems your teams already use. Supported integrations include sources such as Salesforce, the CENTRL Platform, web sources, SharePoint, Google Drive, Outlook, and Gmail. 
  • Curated Agent Library: Start quickly with a library of expert-built agents for common workflows. Curated agents can be used as templates and customized to reflect your organization’s processes, terminology, analysis methods, and preferred outputs.
  • Build Custom Agents: Create agents from scratch or adapt existing agents with detailed instructions. Define what information the agent should collect, which sources it should use, what analysis or calculations it should perform, and how results should be structured and presented. Agents help capture repeatable expertise as reusable workflows that can be shared across teams.
  • New Agent Mode in Research Assistant: Users can now switch into Agent Mode, select an available agent, provide context, and launch a coordinated workflow directly from Research Assistant. After execution, users can review results, inspect supporting insights, and ask follow-up questions in the same experience.
  • Create Rich Deliverables: Agents can generate in-app analysis as well as create work products like documents, slide decks, spreadsheets, comparison tables, reports, and other review-ready deliverables.
  • Governance, Security, and Version Control: Admins can control who can create and manage agents, while agent owners can determine who can view or run each agent. Agents respect configured data-source permissions, and version history allows owners to review changes and revert when needed.

Note: To give users more powerful reporting capabilities, we are upgrading the comparison report experience by transitioning to dedicated Agents. All previously generated reports will remain fully accessible within the Research Assistant. Moving forward, creating a dedicated Agent will let you generate far more robust comparison reports, interactively add new data, and easily refine your instructions for future runs.

AI Platform

  • Smart Summary Upgrade: Smart Summary now uses our latest models to produce higher quality results. In addition, Smart Summary will now receive a list of answer attachments to avoid cases where Smart Summary incorrectly claimed questions are unanswered.
  • AI Reports Upgrade: AI Reports now uses the latest models and more explicitly follows Summary Instructions. Before instructions or format from Data Instructions could carry over and override styling provided in Summary Instructions.
  • Update Research Assistant Chat: Research Assistant chat will now leverage the latest models available to CentrlGPT for more robust analysis.

Response360 clients

This release focuses on making Response360 more efficient for distributed teams by introducing powerful bulk assignment capabilities, formal approval workflows, and external access through a new Web Extension to your Answer Library

  • Web Browser Extension: Users can access and search their Answer Library directly from third-party portals and web-based questionnaires without leaving their browser. This helps teams respond faster to due diligence requests, RFPs, and vendor questionnaires received through external platforms such as RFP portals. This extension will be published to the Chrome and Edge Extension Stores in the weeks after the release. We will add a notification in R360 when this is available.
  • Bulk Question Assignments: Questionnaire owners and collaborators can assign or unassign multiple questions at once from a centralized management screen. Users can quickly select sections, subsections, or individual questions, apply assignments in bulk, and reduce the number of manual assignment actions and notification emails required to coordinate questionnaire responses.
  • Group-Based Question Assignments: Users can assign questions and collaboration tasks to user groups in addition to individual users. Administrators can create and manage groups directly within the System Admin module, enabling questionnaire owners and collaborators to assign work to teams instead of managing assignments one user at a time. Group assignments are supported across Response360 workflows, including questionnaire collaboration, question assignments, and bulk assignment actions, helping organizations coordinate responses more efficiently across distributed teams.
  • Approval Workflows for Questionnaires: Users can configure approval workflows in Response360 to support formal review and sign-off processes for RFPs and DDQs. Administrators can create multi-stage approval flows with customizable triggers, conditions, and approvers. Once submitted, questionnaires move through the workflow with approval tracking, restricted editing during review, audit history logging, and automated notifications and email alerts to approvers.
  • Improved Answer Review Checks: Previously our Answer Review checks sometimes rejected short answers as incomplete even when the question expected a short answer (e.g. Yes/No, Single Select). We revamped Answer Review to avoid rejecting valid, concise responses from being incorrectly rejected.

Note to Clients:

  • Our release is scheduled between noon and 3 PM PST. During this window, some application areas may experience brief reduced functionality, and the application may be temporarily unavailable for up to 1 hour with downtime after 2 PM PST.
