2026.1 Prerelease Notes
The 2026.1 release is tentatively scheduled to occur on or after March 4.
These are the features and enhancements that may be included in the upcoming release. Please note that this list is subject to change.
The prerelease notes are essentially a summary, or abstract, of the release notes that will be published the day of deployment. If you read the prerelease notes and not the release notes, you will miss details regarding major features, as well as minor changes and defect fixes that cannot be published this far in advance of a release.
These items are currently undergoing testing for quality assurance. If our QA team deems an item unfit, it will not be released. This means that we might not release everything on this list.
To avoid surprising you, we will not release any major change that is not on this list.
We will still publish full notes on the day of the release. Here’s what you’ll find in those that you may not see here:

Workflows
Expand request contract feature
When approving a new contract request, an admin will be able to initiate a workflow with any action type. [1248324]
If working within a multi-organization tenant, after the admin selects and confirms the organization in which to initiate the workflow, they'll be redirected to the new workflow page. It will default to New Contract, but will allow them to select Existing Contract if appropriate. All other functionality on the page will remain unchanged.
If working within a single-organization tenant, the admin will be redirected to the new workflow page. It will default to New Contract, but will allow them to select Existing Contract if appropriate. All other functionality on the page will remain unchanged.
Contract Library
Admins and editors will be able to unarchive contracts with a status of terminated or expired. [928363]
Archived isn’t a status in the sense that terminated and expired are. It’s an additional attribute.
Correct invalid status for archived contracts
With this release, symplr is resolving a number of invalid data states across all tenants. [1371591]
All contracts with an Archived status will instead be flagged as Archived, and their status will be set to Expired.
Valid statuses include Active, Expired, and Terminated.
Only contracts in Expired and Terminated statuses can be flagged as Archived (which is a flag, not a status).
Some migrated contracts were loaded with Archived status.
Because this is not an expected value, contracts with an Archived status can show incorrectly in symplr Contract.
Vendor Pulse Check
Campaign Management: Workflow Tab
Users will be able to view and manage Vendor Pulse Check workflows on the campaign management page. [454454]
This is the same worklist as My Worklist.
It will have the Filter Table, Manage Columns, Export Table, and Additional Columns widgets.
Conflict Capture
We added the Survey Submitted Date column to the Conflict Capture worklist and Conflict Capture report, making it easier for customers to track survey progress and follow up with respondents to ensure completion. [808906]
