What's New This Release#

June 2026 · Shorter Loop

This release brings a redesigned Persona Canvas, export to PDF and SVG across your boards and canvases, a rebuilt Roadmap, and a refreshed navigation with a dedicated Discovery space. There are also improvements to the Strategy Builder and the Kanban backlog, plus a round of fixes.

New#

Persona Canvas Redesign#

We've redesigned the layout of the Persona Canvas. The Name, Bio, Quote, and Interesting Facts now sit together in one clean white block, the cards read more clearly with icons removed, and the Pain and Gain cards come with their own default colors.

Export to PDF & SVG#

You can now share your work without screenshots. Export any board or canvas as a PDF document or an SVG image, and hand it to your team in the format they need.

Navigation & Discovery#

The primary navigation has a fresh look that makes moving between your workspaces quicker. We've also renamed "Research" to "Discovery" and moved all the AI context features into it, so your discovery work lives in one place.

Roadmap#

We've rebuilt the Roadmap view to make planning clearer and more interactive, so you can map where your product is headed without the clutter.

Improved#

Strategy Builder & JTBD#

Disconnect nodes: Cleanly remove a connection between two nodes in JTBD without deleting either one.
Backlog in the builder: Backlog items are now available directly inside the Strategy Builder.
Drag and drop: Reorder cards in the strategy list view and the strategy board by dragging them.

Kanban & Backlog#

Status select boxes in tables are wider, so they're easier to read.
External IDs in tables are now clickable and open straight into the right sidebar.
Progress and statuses are handled more dynamically to support more flexible workflows.

Behind the scenes#

We tuned database performance, moved business model settings to the initiative level, added support for archived initiative statuses, and enabled Stripe.

Fixed#

Arrow keys now correctly dismiss product tour popups in Product Vision.
The color picker for custom "Done" statuses now matches the other workflow statuses.
Several fixes for the GPT bot, extensions, and AI contexts.
Fixed display issues in the user stories sidebar and right panel.

Coming next#

Dashboard#

A redesigned Dashboard that gives you more granular visibility into your product at a glance.
Begin your product strategy work right from the Dashboard.
Keep an eye on your tracked metrics, along with the detail behind them, without leaving the page.
Pick the metric set that fits your product from ready-made options for types like B2B and e-commerce.

Tracker#

One workflow board for both strategy and execution work, kept in a single place.
Four built-in states (To-do, In-progress, In-review, Done) with your own custom stages inside them.
Stages you can shape per artifact type, inherited across Org, Product, and Team.
Outcome tags on finished items (Adopted, Rejected, Deferred, and more) so closed work keeps its context.
