July 2026

This page documents all customer-facing changes to the DataGrail application made in July 2026. Additional entries will be added every week on Friday.

Week of July 13​

🚀 Features Added​

  • System Inventory bulk removal — you can now select up to 500 systems and remove them in a single action, instead of deleting them one at a time.
  • Vera document awareness — Vera can now reference your system and processing activity documents when answering questions, giving more grounded and complete responses.

🛠 Changes Made​

  • Processing Activities redesign — the Processing Activities table has a new look built around progress, not warnings. Each activity now shows a completion progress bar at a glance, and you can customize which columns appear so your team can surface what matters most.
  • Assessment approvers — approvers are now easier to find when assigning them, and they're notified automatically when an assessment is assigned to them for approval.
  • Document downloads — in the document drawer, the View button is now labeled Download, and selecting it downloads the file directly with the correct file extension instead of opening a new tab — so it's clear what will happen and your device recognizes the file type.
  • Configure Email template link — the Configure Email workflow step now includes a View Template link, so you can jump straight to the email a workflow will send.
  • Vera reasoning — Vera now keeps its reasoning visible after you accept a suggestion, so you can see why it made a recommendation.

🐛 Bugs Squashed​

  • Resolved integration issues affecting Salesforce, Notion, Rippling, TeamUp, and Salesforce Marketing Cloud request processing.
  • Resolved an issue where a long value in a Google Cloud Storage connection field could be truncated during setup.
  • Resolved an issue where Manage Languages wouldn't save when no locale was selected.
  • Resolved an issue where a leftover confirmation window appeared after approving a suggested data subject in the Live Data Map.
  • Resolved an issue where the Manage Layout button could be hidden behind the top navigation bar.
  • Resolved issues where custom consent tags and consent service metadata weren't correctly scoped to individual consent projects.

Week of July 6​

🚀 Features Added​

  • Evidence documents — you can now attach supporting evidence documents directly to systems and processing activities, keeping documentation alongside the records it supports.
  • SAP SuccessFactors — a new SAP SuccessFactors integration is now available, letting you search employee data across HR, payroll, and directory records.
  • Assessment version history — assessments now show a list of related versions, and creating a new version records a change-log event, making it easier to track how an assessment evolved.

🛠 Changes Made​

  • Consent Analytics — analytics are now easier to interpret at a glance, with descriptions on each chart, clearer metric definitions, and added context to help privacy, marketing, and engineering teams understand what they're looking at and what to do next.
  • Vera upgraded to Claude Sonnet 5 — every Vera agent now runs on Anthropic's latest and most capable model, for sharper reasoning, more nuanced answers, and stronger instruction-following across the board.
  • Vera chat — charts in Vera reports now appear inline right where they're referenced, answers stream live as they're written, Vera remembers more of a conversation at once, and Vera suggests a wider range of your day's tasks.
  • Workflow Automations — the "Add an Action" drawer now groups the Configure Email action with the send steps that depend on it, making workflow setup clearer.

🐛 Bugs Squashed​

  • Resolved an issue where the Edit Systems drawer pre-selected all AI-suggested systems instead of leaving the choice to you.
  • Resolved an issue where intake requests submitted in a non-English language could get stuck due to mismatched email locales.
  • Resolved an issue where an integration group assignment was dropped when editing a non-OAuth integration.
  • Resolved an issue with BambooHR credential validation.
  • Resolved an issue where integration setup errors showed a generic message instead of the specific permission that was missing.
  • Resolved an issue where Email Templates appeared for Live Data Map-only customers who don't use them.
  • Resolved an issue where duplicate access categories could prevent unchecking data types on a data subject request.

Week of June 29​

🚀 Features Added​

  • Cisco Duo SSO — customers using Cisco Duo can now configure SAML 2.0 single sign-on. Follow the new setup guide, paste in your metadata URL, and users log in with their existing Duo credentials, with new users provisioned automatically on first login.
  • Configure Email in Workflow Automations — a new Configure Email action lets you control exactly what email a workflow sends, or suppress it entirely, directly in the workflow. Send a specific published template or suppress emails per workflow — for example, suppress deletion-results emails for employee requests while keeping them for consumers, without touching global settings.

🛠 Changes Made​

  • Automations index — the workflows list is now a sortable, filterable, searchable table. Sort by name, phase, status, or error count, filter by published or draft, and see error counts inline. "View in automations" links throughout the app now open a pre-filtered list showing just the relevant workflows.
  • Vera ticket filtering — Vera can now match privacy requests across multiple statuses at once and exclude specific states in a single query, so questions like "active requests not in the setup wizard" or "closed requests that weren't spam" resolve cleanly. Past-due queries no longer drop closed tickets.
  • Intelligence Library data subject accuracy — data subject categories in system metadata are now more accurate, with fewer false positives. Some fields may now be intentionally empty where the data genuinely can't be known.
  • Domain verification — when email domain verification times out, you now see a clear "Verification Failed" state with retry guidance instead of a request that hangs on "Pending."
  • Assessment assignments — the assignments panel is easier to use, with an empty state, a sticky Assign button, a pending-count badge, and alignment fixes.
  • Assessment template permissions — managing assessment templates is now restricted to admins; Assessment Creators have read-only access to templates.
  • iOS Consent SDK 1.6.0 — text elements now respect the style settings in your configuration for correct title, header, and body sizing, and a config parse failure affecting choice buttons has been fixed.
  • Android Consent SDK 1.6.0 — the banner now recovers gracefully from a corrupted keyset instead of crashing the host app on launch.

🐛 Bugs Squashed​

  • Resolved an issue where the Live Data Map dropped active filters (such as high-risk) when scrolling past the first page of results.
  • Resolved an issue where automation settings showed a false success message when a save had actually failed (for example, for users without permission).
  • Resolved several Suggested Processing Activities issues: duplicate activities from rapid clicks, an error when reusing an archived activity's name, and a delay before archived activities disappeared.
  • Resolved an issue in Consent where you couldn't add a Links element back to a layer after removing the last link.
  • Resolved an issue where the Monetate integration failed to refresh its OAuth token.
  • Resolved assessment collaborator role issues so Contributors can correctly comment, add risks, and be assigned questions.
