Changelog

The topics users have pinned in their Expertise Profile now get a boost in expert search, including their existing pins.

• It’s now easier to explore topics! We’ve rearranged the modules on the Topic Explorer page for a more intuitive browsing experience.
• The answered questions ratio displayed in the Overview and Counts tab of the Analytics dashboard has been updated to exclude deleted questions. This change ensures that reported metrics more accurately reflect active and relevant data. For any questions regarding this update, please contact your Account Manager.
• We've improved the step where new users set up their expertise profile during onboarding: When no topic recommendations are available (based on job title or department), we now provide subtle hints directly in the topic search field instead of showing generic suggestions. In addition, the number of required topics has been reduced from five to three. These changes make it easier and more intuitive for new users to get started with Starmind.

• Fixed several bugs related to expertise profile management.
• The search overview page now shows which topics are used for the expert search in the expert module.
• When admin users exclude topics from being suggested on the topic management page, those topics are now also removed from all existing questions and answers.
• Improved how global topics from the Starmind ontology are integrated into the network.

Users now have full control over their expertise profiles. They can manually add topics, hide them from their profile, or remove them entirely.

Based on feedback, we’ve updated our in-app NPS survey to appear after users search or post a question or answer. If you notice anything unusual, please let us know.

Over the past few weeks, we have enhanced topic management in the admin area and introduced new functionalities like creating new custom topics. If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to reach out to us.

• To provide a faster and more flexible experience across all devices, we’ve shifted our focus to our Progressive Web App (PWA) and removed the native app from app stores. Learn more about our PWA here: https://help.starmind.com/docs/progressive-web-app-pwa

If you’re using SCIM for your automated user management in Starmind, we’re pleased to let you know that we support further attributes:

• Over the last weeks, we improved the Topics page to help you better understand how teams work together. You can see which themes are emerging, how people contribute to them, and how collaboration connects different topics. The latest update adds a new graph that shows how topics are connected through real-world collaboration and how expertise flows between people, projects, and tools.
• We've officially removed the Insights page. The old "skill wheel" can now be found on the Topics page, as mentioned above.

Admin users with content permissions can now manage the parents of a topic, except for AI-generated parent relationships.
