2026.2 Summary
The release focuses heavily on Global Automation and Workflow governance, aiming to make automation easier to manage at scale and improve clarity around how automations apply across documents and lifecycle stages.
1 We have made automation easier to govern, safer to test, and more powerful to configure across Policy Management. We introduce centralized automation oversight, clearer global and local visibility rules, and safer document-specific test runs.
2 We also expanded metadata-driven automation by adding dynamic values in conditions and metadata updates, plus new stage-related system fields that can be used across workflow-aware views, rules, and communications.
3 For document users, we have improved the Editor experience with a more focused approval review mode, bulk paragraph formatting, collapsible table-of-contents navigation, and a more consistent image menu.

2026.2: IMPORTANT changes in User Interface, Text, etc
All
Automation in 2026.2 becomes easier to manage at scale, safer to validate, and clearer to govern.
Admins can now review automations centrally, define global and local visibility rules, test rules against specific documents before rollout, and configure automated emails with separate TO, CC, and BCC recipients. Together, these changes give teams more control over where automations apply, how they are monitored, and how safely they can be changed.
Metadata in 2026.2 becomes more dynamic, workflow-aware, and useful inside automation.
Automation rules can now use live document, workflow, user, and connection data in conditions and metadata updates, reducing the need for hard-coded rules or manual synchronisation. New stage-related system fields also make it easier to build workflow-aware views, reminders, escalations, and communications based on the document’s current stage context.
Editor improvements in 2026.2 make document review, navigation, and formatting more focused and consistent.
Approvers now get a guided review experience that highlights changes and keeps approval actions in one place. Editors can apply formatting to multiple paragraphs at once, readers can navigate long documents more easily with collapsible table-of-contents headings, and image actions now use a clearer, more consistent menu.
