Release Notes – Q2 2026
The second release of 2026 is here. We’ve focused on the things that make a real difference day to day: pages that look better, content that feels more relevant, and an intranet that speaks to people as individuals, not just a generic audience of employees. New display styles, smarter layout controls, and personalization that actually works. Let’s get into it.
More personalization, everywhere it matters
Personalization has been top of your wish list for a while. This release delivers it, and then some.
You can now greet people by name, surface user context dynamically, and make every employee feel like the intranet was built for them, not just broadcast at them. Think:
- “Welcome, Michael” or “Good afternoon, Adele”, friendly, human, immediate
- Personalization paired with visual hero layouts for homepages and key landing pages
All of this is available in your intranet. No custom development needed, just people-first experiences, out of the box.
New display styles, across the board
This release brings new display options across several key web parts, giving editors more ways to build pages that feel visual and intentional.
Promoted and Hero styles are now available across more of the toolkit, making it easier to draw attention to what matters, create stronger visual hierarchies, and build pages that people actually want to land on.
Same web parts. More ways to make them work harder.
Updates shaped by your feedback
A big chunk of this release is built on what you’ve been telling us. Usability tweaks, layout refinements, improvements to how content is created and how people show up across Fresh. Not always the flashiest stuff, but the changes that quietly make everything feel more solid, more predictable and more yours.
Your feedback drives what we prioritize.
And this is just a snapshot. There’s plenty more in this release, all shaped by how customers actually use Fresh in the real world.
What’s coming next
We’re already heads down on the next release. Here’s a preview of some of the bigger things we’re working on.
AI and search trust brings transparency to every AI-generated response, with source references, reasoning steps, and user feedback to keep improving relevance over time. Answers come from your trusted internal content: policies, guidelines, the stuff that actually matters.
AI search lets you search the way you do on Google or Bing. Ask questions in plain language, get AI-led answers across SharePoint and connected systems, and keep refining in conversation mode.
Not bad timing, then, that ClearBox just named Fresh a Choice Winner for the second year running, recognising us specifically for AI Innovation and Strong Knowledge & Search. Independent validation that we’re building the right things, in the right way.
It doesn’t stop here. We’re also working on AI analytics to help you understand how FreshMind is being used, personal notifications, and more on the horizon. We’ll keep you posted as these features start rolling out. Watch this space!
This Q2 2026 release gives you more creative freedom, better personalization, and smarter tools to build intranet experiences people actually want to use. If you’re already a Fresh customer, your Customer Success Manager will walk you through the details at your next catch-up.
