Feature highlights
Dashboards
Added organization-wide publishing for My Dashboard pages
You can now publish a My Dashboard page to your organization, allowing other users to see the same dashboard as a shared, read-only tab instead of building their own. Visibility can be limited to selected organization roles, and publishing is blocked while the dashboard contains widgets its audience couldn't see, with each blocker listed by name so you can share or remove those widgets first. Publishing requires the new Manage Shared Dashboards permission, which administrators can grant to any role.
Inventory
Introduced Inventory Segments
Inventory Segments let you save a set of inventory filters as a named, reusable segment that spans every inventory record type. Record types added later are automatically in scope, so a segment never needs updating as your inventory grows. Segments are evaluated live, always reflecting the current state of your inventory, and users only ever see the matching records they have permission to view.
- Build a segment from the same filter conditions you use on the inventory, including scoping by record type.
- A segment starts as a personal draft; publishing makes it available to everyone in your organization as an inventory filter and as a dataset for Analytics visualizations.
- Creating segments is permission-controlled (Customer Admins by default), and administrators can grant it to other roles.
Workflows
Introduced risk tiering workflows
Risk tier assessments and templates can now be governed through the same workflow engine you already use for records and artifacts. A review can start automatically when an assessment or template is published, require approvals as it runs, and route differently based on the assessed risk tier.
- Risk tier assessment workflows govern a record type's assessments, with stages and branch conditions drawn from that record type's active risk tier template.
- Risk tier template workflows govern a specific template, for example requiring review before a new methodology version takes effect.
- Workflows advance governance stages (such as In Development → In Review → Approved) that track review progress separately from the Draft → Active → Archived lifecycle.
Added workflow triggers for monitoring threshold breaches
Record workflows can now start automatically when an ongoing monitoring metric breaches its threshold, so remediation or review begins without anyone having to notice the alert first. Choose On Monitoring Threshold Breach as the workflow's start condition and determine if the workflow should be triggered by either any metric on the record or only the metrics you select. More than one workflow can be configured using this trigger, allowing you to route different metrics to different processes, such as sending a drift breach to recalibration and a performance breach to review. Workflows start only when a metric enters a breached state, so a monitoring job that keeps reporting the same breach starts one workflow, not one per run. Each run records the metric, value, and thresholds that started it, and breach details are available as variables in workflow notifications.
Added artifact creation within workflows
A new Create Artifact workflow step lets record workflows raise an artifact directly on the record the workflow is running against. Configure the artifact type, title, description, severity, assignee, and field values on the step, and optionally gate it behind conditions so the artifact is only raised when your criteria are met. Every artifact created this way stays traceable: its detail page shows the workflow that raised it, what triggered that workflow, when it was raised, and a link to the run that created it — and the new artifact starts its own artifact workflow just like one created by hand.
Added conditional display of required fields to workflow User Actions
Workflow authors can now group requested fields on a User Action step so they appear and become required only when answers on the same form call for them, such as asking for foundation model details only when someone answers yes to Uses Gen AI. Add a Conditional Display Group to the step, define its conditions, and drag fields into the group; conditions can be driven by checkbox, single-select, multi-select, number, and date fields. Assignees filling out the form see live feedback: fields that apply appear with a caption explaining why, fields that don't stay hidden with anything already entered preserved, and submission validates only the fields that apply. Group activations are also recorded in the audit trail.
Enhancements
Activity
Improved Activity feed loading performance
Dashboard and Activity page feeds now load workflow-heavy histories more efficiently without changing the activity details shown to users.
Document Checker
Added DOCX and PDF exports for Document Checker results
You can now export Document Checker results from saved runs or the live assessment view as DOCX or PDF files with the same formatting options used for document exports.
Inventory
Introduced grouped scrolling listings
You can now group Model Inventory, Artifacts, and Validation Issues listings by supported fields and review records in collapsible groups without losing existing filters, search, permissions, or listing controls.
Improved artifact update details in the Activity Log
You can now review field names and before-and-after values for changes to core artifact fields, stakeholders, and custom fields in the Activity Log.
Added inventory field variables to Long Text fields
You can now use inventory field placeholders in Long Text templates and record values to display permitted live values when viewing a record or exporting it to CSV.
Increased attachment upload limits
You can now upload entity and custom-field attachments up to 100 MB.
Improved filter loading performance
Inventory, Artifacts, and Validation Issues filters now load more efficiently, including custom-field values and stakeholder choices in organizations with large record volumes.
User management
Added user details to the User Directory
Administrators can now select a user in the User Directory to view their roles, group memberships, stakeholder records, and assigned workflows, artifacts, and validation issues, with links to the corresponding filtered lists.
Workflows
Introduced workflow details pages
You can now review workflow configuration and version details on a dedicated page, making workflows easier to find, inspect, and manage.
Added workflow assignment and capacity planning controls
You can now assign and update workflow assignees, view Global Workflows by assignee, isolate unassigned work, and audit assignee and kickoff-date changes without restarting in-progress runs.
Added CSV export for global workflows
You can now export filtered Global Workflows timeline results to CSV in the background and monitor progress until large exports download automatically.
Bug fixes
Document Checker
Fixed Document Checker export formatting
DOCX and PDF exports now render narrative Markdown, artifact descriptions, cards, and document titles consistently with the in-app Document Checker view.
Inventory
Fixed continuous flickering on the Artifacts page
The Artifacts page now remains stable on Windows when its vertical scrollbar appears at certain window widths or when you hover over a row.
Fixed escaped HTML markup in saved field values
Saved field values now retain escaped HTML markup without restoring script-bearing attributes.
Fixed between filters for custom date fields
Custom date-field between filters now match records stored with either legacy numeric dates or current date strings.
Fixed calculated fields not refreshing in inventory columns
Calculated-field values now refresh automatically across relevant live records after a formula is created or edited, while recalculation skips deleted records.
Fixed custom fields converted to Long Text
Custom fields converted from Single Select or Date to Long Text now accept values without retaining stale dropdown options or showing a misleading Allow Other error.
Fixed calculated fields using attribute-style formulas
Calculated custom fields using attribute-style parameter references now produce their expected values under the Starlark formula engine instead of displaying errors.
Monitoring
Fixed monitoring threshold breach emails
Monitoring threshold breach emails now send successfully when legacy metric rows contain threshold data in an unsupported shape.
Public API
Fixed reporting dataset retrieval through the Public API
The reporting dataset data endpoint now returns dataset data instead of a 400 error.
Fixed broken Public API endpoints
Public API requests for groups, artifact and finding attachment descriptions, finding comments, and the deprecated model findings route now return their documented responses instead of unconditional errors.
Risk Tiering System
Fixed adding long-named fields to risk tier templates
You can now add long-named inventory fields as risk tier components and receive a clear error when a component cannot be added.
Fixed delayed risk tier updates
Risk tier and factor-level descriptions and colors now update without a page refresh, and component scoring rules show full score names.
Templates and documents
Fixed artifacts appearing in the wrong documents
Artifacts assigned to a documentation section now appear only in the selected document instead of other documents that use the same template.
Fixed mapped-evidence approval for records with multiple documents
You can now approve automatically mapped evidence when a record contains multiple documents created from the same source document while preserving the correct source-document links.
Fixed archived artifact types appearing in organization template exports
Organization template exports now include only active artifact types and their artifacts.
Fixed cancellation of template PDF jobs
Cancelled template PDF outline jobs no longer resume or overwrite templates, and jobs without extractable text now report the specific failure reason.
Fixed document outline edits appearing in other documents
Outline edits and edit counts now remain associated with the correct document when multiple documents share a template.
Fixed guideline associations in earlier snapshots
Evidence, findings, and approved AI-suggested assessments now remain linked to the correct guideline in earlier snapshots containing duplicate guidelines.
User management
Fixed broken pages after Microsoft Entra session renewal
Expired Microsoft Entra single sign-on sessions now return you to the sign-in page instead of leaving pages blank or showing repeated permission errors.
ValidMind Developer
Fixed text logging for Markdown containing TeX equations
ValidMind Developer now logs Markdown containing TeX equations without the request being blocked.
Workflows
Fixed Inbox approval tasks after role changes
Approval tasks now disappear when you lose the relevant approver role and reappear with the approval dialog when you gain or regain that role during a pending approval.
Fixed workflow validation alerts and assessment notes
Workflow validation errors no longer obscure the Save button, and validation guidelines created through the Public API now retain their associated risk assessment notes.
Fixed stale workflow references blocking inventory field deletion
You can now delete inventory fields referenced only by archived workflows or workflow runs for deleted or archived records.
Fixed workflow conditions for custom fields containing whitespace
Workflow equality conditions now match single-select, single-choice, and single-line text custom-field values reliably when they contain stray whitespace.
Fixed invalid broadcast variables after workflow changes
Changing a workflow trigger or entity now identifies and blocks broadcast variables that would otherwise resolve to blank values, while showing every relevant validation message to the author.
