Product release highlights
Stay informed about our latest features, improvements, and innovations. We’re continuously enhancing our platform to help you achieve your sustainability goals with greater efficiency and accuracy.
Goal: Protect data integrity once work is complete
✓ Tasks and subtasks now lock automatically when their project is completed or paused, or when the task itself is in review or complete, preventing data from being changed after the point where the flow of data is meant to end. This closes a gap that previously allowed edits after completion; a common source of downstream review and audit issues.
✓ When locked work needs to change, users can submit a “Make Changes” request that an Account Manager reviews and approves or denies, so items are reopened in a controlled, trackable way. New email notifications keep both sides informed when a change is requested and when it’s resolved.
Goal: Expand the range of compliance work customers can manage in one place
✓ SOC 2 Readiness is now a selectable project type, joining SB-261, CDP, EcoVadis, B Corp, and GRESB. Selecting it auto-builds the full SOC 2 milestone and task structure from a template, so teams can run security and compliance engagements alongside their sustainability projects in a single source of truth — no manual setup required.
✓ Project deliverables (final reports, signed letters, certificates, audit packets, and more) can now be attached and viewed on every project type, not just GHG. Customers running SOC 2, CDP, EcoVadis, B Corp, and GRESB projects can keep outputs directly on the project instead of spinning up separate folders.
Goal: Make project and file workflows more reliable
✓ The file upload “Assign more” action now lets users attach a single file to any combination of projects, tasks, and subtasks in one upload, respecting existing permissions. This removes an earlier limitation that effectively restricted uploads to the originating task.
Goal: Keep teams informed about their work without logging in
✓ Greenplaces now sends email notifications when tasks are assigned, updated, flagged, or completed, so you and your team stay on top of project activity without having to log in and check. Every email includes a quick-action link that takes you straight to the relevant task, project, or list.
✓ A new Notification Preferences page under Profile Settings lets each user turn individual notification types on or off, so people receive only the updates that matter to them. Smart bundling groups similar updates into a single email — with time-sensitive alerts like flags sent immediately — keeping inboxes manageable rather than flooded.
Goal: Speed up file management with bulk actions
✓ You can now select many files at once and map them to the right projects, tasks, and locations in a single operation, instead of clicking through them one at a time. A new Bulk Edit Drawer and a bulk action toolbar make it easy to act on files wherever you work with them across the Compliance Workspace.
✓ “Select All” now spans every file matching your current search, sort, and filters so large cleanups don’t require paging through results. Bulk Export packages your selection into a single, neatly named ZIP, and Bulk Delete includes safety checks like type-to-confirm and protection for files tied to completed work.
Feb 2026 product release highlights
Goal: Strengthen collaboration within compliance projects
✓ Teams can now leave comments and view a complete activity log for any task directly from the Project Overview, opening a side drawer to discuss work and see every status change, assignment, and file upload in one place. This keeps everyone aligned on a task’s history and creates a clear audit trail without leaving the project view.
✓ Tasks can now be assigned to multiple people at once, so teams that share a deliverable can collaborate on it together. Every assigned user can track status, upload files, and stay informed — making cross-functional work across teams and locations far easier to coordinate.
Goal: Make the workspace experience clearer and easier to use
✓ The project timeline is now interactive, with hover tooltips and clickable milestones that reveal added context about each key date. This turns the timeline from a static reference into an actionable way to understand where a project stands.
✓ File upload zones have been visually refreshed across the Project Overview and task pages to make the primary upload action more prominent, and a success banner now confirms when an upload completes. Together these changes make it obvious where and how to upload files and reassure users their files went through, reducing confusion and duplicate uploads.
January 2026 product release highlights
Goal: Improve support for footprint auditability
✓ 2025 emission factors have been added to the footprint calculation system, ensuring all calculations reflect the most current data available. This keeps customer footprints accurate and aligned with the latest industry standards without requiring manual updates.
✓ Footprint Automation audit logs now surface clearer visibility into how energy usage intensity (EUI) ratios are calculated and applied. When a EUI ratio is used, the audit log will specify which parameter triggered it, making it faster and easier for customers and internal teams to verify and explain footprint outputs.
