  5. v7.8.6 Release

Version 7.8.6 of GoExpand delivers major improvements to performance data accuracy, dashboard usability, and system optimization. This release enhances how live data is calculated and displayed, introduces new flexibility for objectives, Asana integration, and optimizes backend database efficiency for faster load times.

“Quick Add” for To-Dos and IDS

Quick Add Tasks and Challenges

You can now capture action items in meetings instantly with Quick Add. Just click into the new “+ New” button, type a title, and press Enter—no modal, no interruptions. To-Dos and IDS are auto-created with smart defaults and saved in real time so the platform keeps up with the pace of thought.

Learn how “Quick Add” works

Live Rollups & To-Do Window Update

Performance and Engagement dashboards now use live data for Metrics, Roles, Skills, value, and Engagement—ensuring every view reflects the most up-to-date marks. To-Do Completion metrics have also been refined to a 30-day window (down from 90 days) for a sharper view of recent productivity.

Introducing the Projects & Tasks Kanban Board

Kanban Board

You can now visualize your work with the all-new Kanban Board, a flexible, drag-and-drop workspace. Organize your Rocks and To-Dos into swimlanes, update statuses in real time, and instantly sync progress across your team.

Expanded Objective Orientation Options

Objective Orientation Rules

Teams can now define more nuanced goal evaluation logic with new orientation rules such as inside range, outside range, equal to goal, and strict greater/less than. Scorecard shading and progress bars dynamically adapt to company Metric scales (0–100 or 0–200) for accurate visual feedback.

“Rearrange Tiles” Mode for Dashboards

Customize the dashboard tiles.

A new Rearrange Tiles mode allows users to reorganize dashboard widgets intentionally. This prevents accidental rearranging on mobile and touch devices, providing smoother scrolling and a cleaner, more controlled experience.

Multiple Seats per User

Multiple roles per user.

Users can now hold multiple concurrent Seats while maintaining a single identity, permissions set, and reporting relationship. This mirrors the “seats” model and ensures performance and Engagements rollups accurately reflect all active Seats and Roles.

2-Way Sync of Asana into GoExpand

Asana Integration

In version 7.8.6, you can now integrate directly with Asana to keep your To-Dos and Rocks perfectly in sync. Once connected, updates flow both ways — meaning changes made in either platform automatically appear in the other.

Learn more about how to setup Asana Connect.

Backend Optimization & Database Audit

We’ve implemented a comprehensive database index and foreign-key audit to enhance query performance and enforce data integrity. Customers will notice faster API response times and improved load speeds across dashboards and data-heavy views.

OpenAI Migration

To stay aligned with OpenAI’s roadmap, GoExpand has begun migration from the Assistants API to the Responses API ahead of the 2026 deprecation. This ensures long-term stability and unlocks access to new AI capabilities.

Conclusion

This release continues our mission to deliver faster, smarter, and more accurate performance insights. We’re committed to keeping the platform responsive, intuitive, and ready for the future of work.

Coming Soon

Coming in the next release of GoExpand, we’ll include a new Microsoft Teams tab for even deeper integration into your organization’s current workflow.
