Product Release Roundup: February 2026

More people doing research is a good thing. Until it isn't.

When 5 people run studies, you can easily manage access and trust everyone knows the rules. When 150 people run studies, you need real infrastructure. Who can see what? Who's being provisioned? What happens to data when someone leaves?

Without answers to those questions, scaling research becomes a liability. IT pushes back. Legal gets nervous. And the people who should be doing research... don't.

We built the Enterprise Governance Suite to change that. Because governance isn't about restricting research. It's what makes it safe to open research up to everyone.

🏛️ Teams that match your org structure with enterprise-grade controls built in

Not every org runs research the same way, so you shouldn't be forced into a one-size-fits-all structure. Teams lets you organize Great Question around how your business actually works: by department, product line, or brand. Each team gets its own space so members can see what's relevant to them.

Behind the scenes, Teams gives you granular control over who can view, edit, and contact across team boundaries. Keep candidates, studies, and insights fully siloed, or selectively share specific resources at the workspace level for cross-team collaboration. Contact permissions ensure only authorized team members can reach candidates, even if a study is visible to everyone.

Need fully siloed teams for sensitive research? Done. Want an open culture with guardrails, where most research is visible but HR studies stay private and each team manages its own budget? That works too.

Your governance model, your rules. Not ours.

🔐 Put user provisioning on autopilot with SCIM

Every new hire, every department transfer, every offboarding. All that manual work, now eliminated.

SCIM integration connects Great Question to your identity provider, like Okta. New hires get provisioned automatically. Offboarded employees lose access instantly. And your existing org groups map directly to Teams in Great Question, so when someone switches departments, their access updates in real time. No tickets. No manual reassignment.

IT manages Great Question like every other tool in the stack. Research Ops focuses on research.

⚖️ Flexible data retention that meets your compliance bar

Retention requirements differ by org. Your policies can reflect that.

The new rules engine lets you create named retention policies with flexible timeframes: days, weeks, months, or years. Set rules for candidates, recordings, or both. Build rules in draft mode so your privacy team can review the full configuration before anything goes live. When you're ready, activate the rule and let the system handle the rest. A 30-day lookahead gives stakeholders time to review what's scheduled for deletion before anything is permanently removed. Every action is logged in a full activity trail for compliance audits.

Full transparency for compliance. Zero ambiguity for legal.

🧠 Have confidence in every product decision with global Ask AI

The best research is the research you already have, unless it's gathering dust in your repo graveyard. Global Ask AI turns your repository into a living knowledge base that anyone on your team can search and make research-backed decisions.

Since opening the beta, user feedback has driven every improvement: multi-select filtering to scope questions to specific teams or studies, inline citations inside synthesized summaries, an end-to-end citation experience with a floating video player for source verification, and the ability to create highlights and tags directly from AI chat responses.

The free beta is still open. If you haven't tried it yet, now's a great time.

🎥 Smarter livestreams that keep you in control

Pre-flight checks now catch invalid meeting links and configuration issues before your session starts, so you're not troubleshooting while a participant waits. Real-time status shows exactly what the bot is doing: waiting to join, recording, or flagging a permission issue. And if something does go wrong, a resend button lets you retry without starting over.

Every session, fully visible. Every issue, caught early.

✨ ... and more quality of life improvements, like:

  • Relative date filters on the Candidates table like "last 30 days" 
  • "View only" badge on studies so you know when access is read-only
  • Jump to first or last page in paginated lists so you skip the endless clicking
  • Transcript timestamps display correctly past 60 minutes for longer sessions
  • Email merge tags are sorted A-Z so you find the right tag without scrolling
  • Calendar event descriptions format properly across all calendar providers

The Enterprise Governance Suite was built by listening to the teams democratizing research at companies like Brex, ServiceNow, Asana, and Canva. It's how they scale research confidently, with the right controls, the right access, and the right compliance posture. Schedule a call with our team for a live demo and pilot access.
