What's New

#💡 Centercode GoEarly Features 💡

#Evolve How You Collect, View, and Triage Feedback

This is a big one for our GoEarly participants! We've been hard at work overhauling the AI experience across Centercode, and this release is packing in three major, fully-featured additions.

• First, we're rolling out an updated Feedback View alongside a simplified feedback list experience that makes navigating and acting on feedback faster and more consistent.
• Second, we have added new AI Summary fields in Feedback, giving you a quick run-down of the entire ticket and, separately, the feedback's ongoing discussion meaning you get an instant summary of the entire comment thread, too.
• Third, we've provided a valuable shortcut for feedback triage! Our new AI Reply Generator creates a comment based on ticket details and selected status, enabling you to approve or edit before posting.

Of course, data captured through AI Feedback Summary and AI Discussion Summary are available as view and filter columns, with full support in reports and exports as data items, and integrations and email templates as dynamic tags. Aaaaand finally, the Community AI settings page has been completely redesigned with a fresh visual experience and brand-new licensing controls, giving admins more power over how AI features are rolled out across their community.

Head over to GoEarly to sign up and get your hands on it early!

#Integrations

#External Destinations Now Trigger Correctly for Tickets with Long Filenames

What we fixed: If a feedback ticket had a .mov file attached with a very long filename, any external destinations set up on that ticket (like Jira) would silently fail to fire — no error message, no log entry, just... nothing. Sneaky! Now EDs fire correctly regardless of how long the attachment filename is.

See it in action:

1. Attach a .mov file with a lengthy filename to a feedback item.
2. Trigger a status change that's configured to send that feedback to an external destination.
3. Check your external destination — the ticket should arrive as expected.

#Miscellaneous

GIF Images Now Retain Their Original Quality

What we fixed: GIF files were getting mangled during upload — the image processor was accidentally stripping the color palette and changing the bit depth, leaving GIFs looking washed out or broken after being attached to feedback items or forum posts.

See it in action:

1. Navigate to a feedback item or forum post where you'd like to include a GIF.
2. Upload or attach your GIF file as usual.
3. View it after saving — it should display with its original colors and animation fully intact. 🎉

Archived Projects Are Now Properly Locked Down

What we fixed: Users on support-level teams were able to sneak into archived projects via a direct link, even if they had zero project roles assigned. They'd show up as "No Teams" in the project summary but could still get in through the back door. Access to archived projects is now correctly enforced.

See it in action:

1. Place a user on a support-level team with no project roles enabled.
2. Archive the project.
3. Have the user try to access the project via a direct link — they should be properly blocked. 🔒

#Form Engine and Custom Surveys

#Survey Element Drag-and-Drop Fixed on Pro Edition Sites

What we fixed: On Pro edition sites, trying to click and drag survey elements in overview mode was throwing a "No access" error and refusing to budge. Elements can now be reordered by dragging them around just like they should be.

See it in action:

1. Open any survey with multiple elements on a Pro edition site
2. Switch to overview mode
3. Click and drag an element to a new position — it moves!

#Data Engine and Custom Reports

#AI Report Elements No Longer Inherit Instructions From Each Other

What we fixed: When a report contained multiple AI elements, the instructions from earlier elements (like a custom prompt) would bleed into later ones, causing paragraph summaries and other AI elements to follow the wrong structure. Each AI element is now processed independently, so they each respect only their own instructions.

See it in action:

1. Create a report with a custom prompt AI element that has specific formatting instructions
2. Add additional AI elements after it (e.g., paragraph or bullet point summaries)
3. Generate the full report — each element now produces output based solely on its own prompt

#Data Engine and Custom Reporting

#"Is Not One Of" filtering with multiple selections

What we fixed: Fixed an issue where using "Is Not One Of" with multiple selections on a choices element filter would incorrectly show all results instead of excluding the selected options.

See it in action:

1. Create a filter containing an "Is Not One Of" filter item
2. Select multiple items from the list via ctrl or shift clicking items
3. Your filter will appropriately exclude all items in your filter

#Data Engine & Custom Reporting

• Report Generation Performance Under Heavy Load

  What we fixed: When multiple reports were being generated at the same time, things could get a bit sluggish or unreliable. We've made improvements to how reports are processed under heavy load, so your reports should generate more smoothly even during busy periods.

  See it in action:

  1. Generate reports as you normally would
  2. Even during peak usage times, reports should process reliably
  3. No more wondering if your report got lost in the queue!

#Miscellaneous

• Email and PDF Logos Now Display Reliably

  What we fixed: Some customers were experiencing an intermittent issue where their email and PDF logos would mysteriously stop appearing, requiring a re-upload to fix. We tracked down the root cause and squashed this bug for good. Your branding should now stay put where it belongs!

  NOTE: If a file from prior to this fix is still not working, remove and re-upload it and that will correct it.

  See it in action:

  1. Navigate to your community theme settings
  2. Confirm your email/PDF logo is uploaded
  3. Send a test email or generate a PDF
  4. Your logo should appear consistently every time (no more disappearing acts!)

#User Interface and Experience

#No More Double Password Error Messages

What we fixed: If your community has a custom password policy set up, users were sometimes getting hit with two error messages at once - yours AND ours. That's confusing and a little annoying, so we fixed it. Now they'll only see your custom message.

See it in action:

1. Go to your Account Settings page
2. Try changing your password to something that doesn't meet the requirements
3. You'll see just the custom error message your admins set up (not a wall of text)

#

#Miscellaneous

#More reliable file uploads

What we fixed: Ever try uploading a bunch of files at once and notice some just... didn't make it? Yeah, that was a bug. We've sorted it out so your files actually upload like they're supposed to.

See it in action:

1. Head to any form with a file attachment field
2. Select multiple files to upload at once
3. Watch them all upload successfully (no more mystery failures!)

• An issue was corrected where access to files and images would be broken due to layered session identities when using Assume

#Data Engine & Custom Reporting

• Reports created by a user that has been merged into a different user will no longer require an edit to then begin refreshing properly.

#Form Engine & Custom Surveys

• Adjusting access to matrix or stack rank form elements via the overview quick icons will now include each row properly.

#Integrations

• Email footer messaging on Jira external destination failure messages was corrected.

This October, we’re serving up a few treats for your testing toolkit, including a suite of accessibility improvements, and a convenient way to access Centercode Labs, a new space where you’ll find fun, experimental tools designed to make your day-to-day a little easier (and a little more fun!)

#👻Accessi-boo-lity Improvements! 👻

This month we're rolling out a round of screen reader enhancements across key tester-facing areas of Centercode, including Menu Navigation, the Feedback List, Feedback View, Form Engine, Login, and Activities. These updates are entirely seamless, there’s nothing you need to configure! The platform simply works better for users who rely on screen readers. We’ve introduced improved tab order, landmark skipping, and more intuitive focus states, all of which provide meaningful audio context for page functions and actions. That means users with visual impairments can now navigate and engage with our platform more efficiently and with significantly less friction!

These enhancements not only improve accessibility for current users, they also support a wider range of test types, including Accessibility-focused testing programs. That means you can confidently include users with visual impairments in your projects, expanding your reach while maintaining a seamless experience. This is part of our ongoing investment in accessibility, and future developments will be built with these enhancements as a foundation. We’re actively welcoming feedback from screen reader users to help shape what comes next!
