What's new for Polarion by Nextedy – October 2025

Finding the Signal in the Noise

Risksheet introduces a new Find & Replace capability designed for large datasets. The feature supports regex patterns, whole-word matching, and flexible scope control, enabling teams to standardize terminology for an audit or update references after a system redesign systematically across their entire risk register.

Making the Invisible Visible

Gantt Enhancement: Tasks assigned to unavailable resources now display in red, preventing work from being scheduled during periods when assigned users have no working days available.

Planningboard Update: Items planned beyond their due dates receive immediate flagging. When iteration end dates extend past milestone deadlines, conflicts surface during planning rather than sprint reviews.

Licensing and Administration Updates

Gantt, Planningboard, and Risksheet now use a unified licensing framework supporting concurrent licenses, file uploads via administration, and read-only mode when licensing isn’t active.

Team Planning Prototype

Gantt’s proof-of-concept team assignment feature enables capacity planning using placeholders rather than individual names — designed for six to twelve-month planning cycles when specific team availability remains unknown.

Small Fixes That Matter

  • Work item type picker availability in Risksheet

  • Focus behavior following item selection

  • Root item nesting in Gantt

  • Resource bubble interactions during row collapse

  • Enum-user field display in Gantt

  • Powersheet HTTP connection initialization

Configuration Flexibility

Planningboard now supports configurable team enum keys for custom team identifiers. Checklist introduces selective workflow bypass for administrators managing bulk imports or data migrations.

Focus Preservation

Planningboard now maintains collapse state and focus position across saves, reducing cognitive load during intensive planning sessions.

AI Development Note

Risksheet AI Assistant undergoes validation with key accounts before broader release. The tool suggests harms in the context of user needs, identifies hazards for functions and components, and proposes causes for failure modes based on system elements.

What’s Next

Powersheet, launched in September, continues refinement based on enterprise team feedback regarding template usability, performance, and configuration options.
