What’s new in October 2026

  • What’s new

Seven changes this month, built in October 2026 and released with the docs. The one most people will notice: Home now shows your top three tasks, so the next thing to do is waiting when you sign in.

Feedback reaches the Sted team

Feedback and Report this now go to the Sted team, who can reply by email. Your administrators can read the feedback your organisation sends but cannot edit or delete it.

A problem you report reaches the people who can fix it, not only your own administrators.

Where to find it: Sending feedback

Setting an answer aside no longer stops setup

In the onboarding conversation, an answer you set aside no longer stops the rest of the setup. The conversation carries on with the remaining questions, and setup stays open until you come back to the one you set aside.

You can finish what you know today and return to the hard question when you have the answer.

Error messages that say what to do next

When something fails, Sted’s messages now say what happened, whether your work was kept, and what you can do next.

You can sort out most problems yourself instead of guessing whether to try again.

Invitations for people who already have an account

An administrator invites people by email, and an invited person joins the existing organisation. If you already have a Sted account, you can now accept an invitation with its code, and the email tells invitees to use its link rather than Get started.

Joining a second organisation no longer ends at a dead end.

Register edits survive a conflict

When someone else saves a management-system register while you are editing it, Sted now keeps the values you typed, so you can compare them and save again.

Two people working on the same register no longer lose each other’s changes.

Where to find it: Management-system registers

Home shows your top three tasks

Home now shows your top three tasks, highest priority first, in place of the whole list. Each document’s page still shows its top three tasks.

The next thing to do is the first thing you see when you sign in.

Where to find it: Home and your tasks

A quieter reader and editor

A document’s requirements now read as an indented list, and in edit mode the review controls fold behind View options while updated recommendations wait for you.

The words of the policy come first, and the controls appear when you need them.
