New in Dialog

What's in our releases

Our team is constantly building new capabilities for our software. We listen to our users, then build what they actually need. You can see exactly what the latest software release makes possible.

Release of 10 November 2026

Latest release

Improved

  • Full history available in the Data API. The Data API used to return only the last 12 months of data. It now returns your organization’s full history, and you can ask for any specific period. This lets you analyze long-term trends and compare results across years. Existing integrations keep working.
  • Engagement dashboard only shows themes that belong to the survey. If a question was linked to more than one theme, the dashboard used to show all of those themes, even ones that weren’t part of the survey. Now the dashboard only shows the themes you actually selected for that survey. Your results stay focused on what you meant to measure.

Fixed

  • Upcoming evaluations now show on the employee’s Evaluations page. For some employees, the Evaluations page didn’t list their upcoming evaluations. You could only see them in the evaluation cycle view. We fixed this, so you can see all past and upcoming evaluations right away. Your evaluation cycles were never affected.

Release of 27 October 2026

Improved

  • Emails now go out when you schedule a spontaneous evaluation from the dashboard. When a manager schedules a spontaneous evaluation from the manager dashboard, the employee, the final reviewer and any other reviewers now get the announcement and reminder emails. This works the same way as scheduling from the Evaluation Report page.
  • eNPS questions now always use a 0-10 scale. Under Themes & Questions, you can only pick a 0-10 rating scale for eNPS questions, both when you create a new one and when you edit an existing one. Existing questionnaires with an older eNPS rating can still be saved as they are. This makes sure that the answers collected always can be reflected as an accurate eNPS measurement.
  • Survey history on the user profile. The Engagement tab on a user’s profile now lists the surveys that person took part in, with each survey’s name and dates. You can search the list, and clicking a survey opens its report with that survey already selected. No individual answers or results are shown on this page.

Fixed

  • Goals stay active on their last day. Personal goals were shown as inactive on their end date. A goal now stays active through the end of its last day, so employees see it and reports count it correctly.
  • Coaches can see the goals of the employees they coach. A coach assigned to an employee’s personal plan couldn’t see that employee in their Team view or open their goals, even when goal visibility was set to “Managers and coaches.” Coaches can now find the employee and their goals again.

Release of 13 October 2026

Improved

  • Faster AI across Dialog. All AI features now run on a newer, faster model. You get AI suggestions and answers sooner, wherever you use AI in Dialog.
  • System admins can schedule talent reviews. They'll find Talent review on the Management page. They can't see the results. That keeps talent information confidential, while admins keep the platform running.
  • Superadmins can export questionnaire invitations. Simply use the “Export Invitation” button on a questionnaire. The export only includes participants you have admin rights for. If you don't, you won't see the button.
  • Only approve major changes. Managers now only need to re-approve a personal plan when something important changes. Smaller changes, like changing a goal's type, placing a goal under another goal, or editing key results, no longer send the plan back for approval.

Fixed

  • Review announcement emails on the right day. Announcement emails for review cycles were sometimes sent a day early. They now go out on the date set in Dialog.
  • The HR2Day integration in team hierarchy. Teams synced from HR2Day used to come in as one flat list. They now follow the same hierarchy as in HR2Day, and new teams automatically land in the right place.

Release of 1 October 2026

New

  • Create your own review templates. You can now create and manage review templates yourself in Dialog. Set up a review the way you want, check it, and switch it on when it suits you.
  • See what your people see. Preview a template as an employee or as a manager before you activate it.
  • Clear and familiar. Rating scales are shown visually, every item has an example text, and the wording is written in clear HR language.
  • Experiment safely. Can't undo a change? Dialog warns you before you save.

Improved

  • Closed calibrations included, too. If a calibration is closed, your Excel export now shows that, along with the reason. Your reports match what you see in Dialog. Especially handy during the calibration period.
  • Manager dashboard shows only your own team. If you're a manager and Super admin, the personal plans page now shows only your direct reports. That keeps you focused on your own people.
  • More conversations for the AI Coach. The AI Coach's capacity is higher. It stays fast and available, even when many people use it at the same time.
  • Engagement results are easier to read. Hover over an abbreviated team or questionnaire name to see the full name. For the response rate, you can see what each number means. The trend line now only connects real data points, so you can see at a glance what the chart shows.
  • A reliable target group screen. We rebuilt it in Engagement. Choose your target group, see exactly who's in it, and be sure your results are about the right people.
    • Every situation. Choose your whole organization or specific teams and people. It now works as expected for teams with sub-divisions, too.
    • Find anyone. Search employees by name or job title and see at a glance which teams are fully or partially selected.
    • Earlier questionnaires, too. We applied the fix to questionnaires from February 2025 onwards. If results from that period ever looked strange, they're now correct.

Fixed

  • No unexpected refreshes. Dialog sometimes refreshed on its own, which could make you lose text. That's fixed. Your work is safe.
  • YouForce integration shows the right team structure. If your top organizational unit in YouForce is inactive and you chose to exclude inactive teams, Dialog still builds your hierarchy correctly.

Release of 15 September 2026

Improved

  • The template editor is more user-friendly for HR admins. Labels are clearer, you get guidance right where you need it, and the design is consistent. You also only see the options that are relevant to you.
  • The "Add item" button is back in the template editor.
  • Email archives older than one year are cleaned up automatically.
  • We rolled out various security updates.

Fixed

  • Reviews show your own text again instead of placeholders.
  • You can edit the Employer field in the HR2Day integration again without an error message.
  • The Nmbrs integration no longer pulls in employees without an email address when that setting is off.
  • Calibrations with a filled-in score no longer show as open.
  • Folders stay open after you change something in the calibration table or other tables.
  • Managers at organizations that only use Engagement no longer see engagement results on an employee's profile.
  • The confirmation text on the button to resend an invitation in employee management is correct again.

Release of 1 September 2026

Improved

  • Dialog runs on a new server environment. This delivers better performance.
  • The old Engagement reporting screens have been removed.

Fixed

  • Managers can submit the final score of a review again.
  • Answers in reviews via the Nmbrs integration are displayed again.
  • Calibration tasks you open from the manager dashboard are no longer empty.
  • Questions in Engagement are displayed consistently again.
  • Open answers in the sidebar with Engagement answers no longer all show the highest score.

Before 1 September

  • Manager dashboard: your personal home page in Dialog. It gives you an overview and control over tasks, with quick actions to handle them right away.
  • AI analysis saves time when going through feedback and answers to questions. AI helps create an overview of answers. That saves time and gives a clean result.
  • Product analytics is now on by default for everyone, including existing users. Before, you had to switch it on yourself. If you had switched it off, it stays off. No choices were reversed.
