Improved Organization control panel and new Group management

The release introduces a more powerful and intuitive Organization control panel, giving administrators clearer oversight of their entire organization and faster, more reliable ways to manage access. These updates reduce manual work, improve transparency, and make it easier to keep permissions accurate across all guidelines.

New Guidelines overview in the Organization control panel:

A new Guidelines page provides a complete overview of all guidelines in the organization, including key details and direct access to manage permissions. This gives organizational administrators a single place to understand and control guideline‑level access. Learn more here.

Improved Members page in the Organization control panel:

The Members page now includes expanded tools that make access management significantly easier:

• edit a user’s permission level for each guideline
  
• adjust access guideline‑by‑guideline via the # of guidelines column
  
• update a user’s organizational group membership directly from the Groups column
  
• remove users from guidelines more efficiently

These improvements help administrators maintain accurate access with far fewer clicks. Learn more here.

New Organizational groups:

Organizational administrators can now create organizational groups to manage teams centrally and add them to guidelines in bulk. This reduces repetitive work and ensures consistent access for recurring teams such as reviewers, editors, or methodology groups. Learn more here.

New Guideline groups:

Guideline administrators (including organizational administrators) can now create a guideline group, either by adding an organizational group to the guideline, or by creating a new group within the the guideline itself. Guideline groups organize and manage everyone involved in a guideline by grouping contributors by role, task, or involvement. They make it easy to structure teams, customize how contributors appear, and keep track of who is participating in the guideline. Learn more here.

Overview of all polls and voting in a guideline

The Voting Dashboard now provides a central overview of voting activity across a guideline, making it easier to review participation and monitor voting progress. Learn more here.

Improved review text when authoring

See all revisions of a text you are editing:

Authors can now view previous versions of a text while editing. This makes it easier to refer back to earlier content, understand how the text has changed, and recover or reuse previous wording when needed.

See and compare all revisions of section, recommendation and PICO text:

New comparison tools allow authors to review changes between versions of section text, recommendation text, and PICO text. Changes are highlighted, making it easier to identify what has been added, removed, or modified. This supports a more efficient and transparent review process when developing or updating guideline content.
