February brought the Recurring frequency to dataset refresh scheduling, the custom welcome email and importing reports straight into a folder. User registration gained the Job title field from Entra ID, and users imported with a password now have to change it on their first access.

New features
- Recurring dataset refresh schedule: refresh scheduling gained the Recurring frequency, alongside Daily, Weekly and Monthly. With it, you set an interval in hours or minutes (for example, "every 2 hours"), the execution window and the days of the week on which the refresh should run (for example, Monday to Friday), instead of entering each time manually. The screen also warns about duplicate times and days without a time set, with a specific message for each error. See the documentation
Improvements
- Custom welcome email: in Settings › Emails, the new Customize welcome email option lets you replace the default message sent to new users with content you define, with your own logo, title and text (for example, including a link or access instructions). The setting applies to the whole organization and is used whenever the welcome email is sent when a user is created. See the documentation

Improvements
- Import reports straight into a folder: when importing reports from Power BI, the Import and Import all buttons now offer the Import to default location and Import to folder options. With the second one, you choose an existing folder and the reports go straight into it, so you no longer need to move them one by one after the import. See the documentation

Improvements
- Stronger portal security: Power Embedded now sends HTTP security headers in the portal's responses, an extra layer of protection applied by the browser of whoever accesses it.

Improvements
- Hide the side menu in applications: in the application's general settings, the new Hide side menu option hides the menu that shows the categories, reports and enabled pages, leaving more room for the report. See the documentation
February 3, 2026
New features
- Job title field from Entra ID: user registration gained the Job title field, filled with data from Microsoft Entra ID. The job title appears when creating, editing and listing users, making it easier to identify and organize the people who access the portal. See the documentation
Improvements
- Password change on first access for imported users: users imported with a password set during the import are now asked to create a new password on their first login, just like in services such as Office. This way, the initial password is no longer used day to day, and you avoid manual changes and support tickets. See the documentation
- Paginated report visuals in the Reports Portal: reports that include a paginated report visual now display that visual correctly in the Reports Portal.
