Highlights from recent updates to the Connect web platform.
What’s new in November 2026
Highlights from 3 releases, 2–6 November 2026.
Adding Work Areas to an Opportunity — On the Microplanning page, program managers can now upload more work areas to an opportunity that already has some, using the new “Add Work Areas” button. Existing work areas, assignments and visits stay as they are. When new work areas join an existing group, the group’s updated centre point is sent to CommCare HQ, so workers see it after their next sync.
Audio Attachments in the Data Export API — Visit exports can now include audio attachments, with their transcriptions and translations, and the audio files can be downloaded through the existing attachment endpoint, the same way images already work.
Deliver Tab Over-Limit Highlighting and Grouped Payment Units — Workers who have gone over their delivery limit are now marked with an amber warning icon on the Deliver tab, making it easy to spot who needs follow-up. Workers with several payment units now show as a single summary row that expands into one row per unit, and progress bars count only pending and approved work, so they no longer run past the allocation.
Over-Limit Reasons in Visit Exports and Visits Page — Visit exports now include Payment Unit and Over Limit Reason columns, listing every limit an over-limit visit exceeded. Hovering an over-limit visit on a worker’s Visits page now shows the actual reasons instead of a generic “Daily limit exceeded” message.
Work Area Overlap Check — Work area uploads are now rejected when a work area overlaps another one in the opportunity by more than 5%, with an error table listing each overlap and the rows involved. Boundaries whose edges cross themselves are also rejected.
What’s new in October 2026
Highlights from 8 releases, 2–26 October 2026.
Finance Payment Requests from Invoices — Program Managers can now send a Ready to Pay invoice to Finance as a payment request straight from the invoice page, instead of filling in the Finance portal form by hand. The invoice PDF is attached automatically, choices are prefilled from the opportunity’s last request, and the resulting ticket link is saved on the invoice.
Work Area Assignment for Network Managers — Network Manager admins can now assign and reassign work area groups to FLWs in microplanning, just like Program Managers. The “Enter Assignment Mode” button now appears for them too.
Opportunity List Filters and Search — The opportunity list now opens showing active, non-test opportunities, and adds filters for delivery type and start/end date (with presets like “Last 30 days” or a custom range), search by opportunity name, and a sortable Delivery Type column.
Program and Opportunity Visibility by Organization Role — The Programs and Opportunities list pages now show everything an organization can access: program owners, funders and watchers see their programs and the opportunities under them, and supervising organizations see every opportunity they supervise. Available actions (such as invoices, adding workers, and exports) still follow each organization’s access level, and program owner, funder and watcher organizations now land on Program Home.
Full-Budget Requirement for Claiming Opportunities — Workers can now claim an opportunity only if its remaining budget covers their full limit on every payment unit, including organization pay. Previously, workers could claim with only partial budget left and run out of paid work early; they now see the usual “opportunity full” message instead.
What’s new in September 2026
Highlights from 11 releases, 2–30 September 2026.
Building Footprints on the Map — Zoom in on the progress or assignment map and toggle on building footprints to see individual structures outlined, helping teams orient work areas more precisely. The overlay appears automatically at closer zoom levels and clears out as you zoom back out.
Inaccessibility Review Mode on the Progress Map — Program managers now have a dedicated review mode on the Progress Map for Work Areas that Frontline Workers have reported as inaccessible. It lists pending requests longest-waiting first alongside a highlighted map, shows each request’s details and photo evidence, and lets reviewers approve or deny them in one place.
Program and Opportunity Access Controls — Program managers can now choose a funder and watcher organizations when setting up a program, and pick the supervising organization for an opportunity, directly in the web interface. Every change to these is recorded in the audit trail, and organizations can be marked as funders from the admin site.
Bulk Invoice Export — Invoices on the Invoice list can now be selected and exported together as a zip of PDFs or a CSV summary, with a selection bar showing the count and USD total. With nothing selected, the Export dropdown exports every invoice for the month on screen, and a notification shows a download link when the export is ready.
Itemized Invoice PDF — Invoice PDFs now show the organization’s billing details, break payments down by month and payment unit instead of a single blended total, and include payment terms and a note showing who approved the invoice and when.
