The session your visitors keep asking about is somewhere in a schedule with ninety entries. The guide you need to edit is somewhere in a list of every guide your campus has ever built. Neither one is a crisis. Both cost you a minute, several times a day, all quarter.

Q3 was about those minutes. A searchable schedule, a Builder that adapts to how you work, a clearer guide list, and the first full set of Slate connections. This is for the person who builds the guides and the person who keeps the Slate record. The full Q3 2026 product highlights are on the product updates page.

What shipped in Q3 2026?

Four things, plus Slate. Schedule search arrived on iOS and Android. Builder gained light, dark, and high-contrast appearance settings. The Org Guides page split into In Progress and History. Branded Spaces got the horizontal logo back. And the Slate integration went live, covering student profiles, events and sessions, app usage data, and registration sync.

Find the session without leaving the schedule

Attendees can now find the session they're looking for without leaving the schedule. Search is built into the schedule itself on iOS and Android, instead of sitting on a separate search page.

The Schedule, My Schedule, and Track views were redesigned at the same time, with system fonts and standardized icons for a more native, consistent experience. On a campus day with four tracks running at once, that's the difference between a visitor finding the admitted-student session and a visitor asking a volunteer where to go.

Slate and Guidebook, sharing the work

Slate and Guidebook now share more of the work, so your team isn't managing the same event in two places. It's one of the campus integrations we build around the systems you already run. Four connections cover it:

• Event and session data: link a Slate event folder to a guide, and every event in that folder becomes a session in the guide's schedule
• App usage data: send app engagement back to Slate every hour, tied to the right Slate event and student record
• Registration sync: students who register for a linked Slate event are added to the guide's Users list automatically, with no spreadsheet import
• Multiple Slate instances: manage them all from one Slate Integration page, with a guided four-step setup

Students see their own details too. Guide builders choose which student record details sync into a student's in-app profile, from name and NetID to orientation group, college, and major. A new Profile tab shows them, and the fields Slate manages are locked so they can't drift out of step.

If your institution logs in to Builder natively rather than through SSO, accounts can now link to a Slate record using the account's verified email.

Builder that adapts to how you work

Builder now has an Appearance setting in the side navigation: Light, Dark, or a high-contrast version of either. System Theme is the default, and your choice saves to your account, so it carries to every session and every device.

Finding the right guide takes fewer clicks too. The Org Guides page is now two tabs, In Progress and History. You can sort by status or subscription date, start a new guide from a button on the page itself, and see a banner flagging any guide with a past due invoice.

Your logo, where people see it

Branded Spaces keep your identity visible from the moment attendees arrive. The horizontal logo option is back for the header area, which matters if your institutional mark was never designed to sit in a square. Images in the Details tab of Space management now take alt text, a small change that makes the space work properly for everyone.

What's next

The roadmap stays on the same three tracks. Slate will keep expanding. Accessibility work continues across the app and Builder, since modernization and an easier experience go together. And Builder gets a redesign, starting with updated navigation and a Builder Assistant that understands what your guide needs to succeed.

None of this is the kind of change anyone announces at a staff meeting. It's the kind that shows up as a shorter Monday. Indiana Tech doubled student yield and gave staff 375 hours back with the same category of work: fewer steps between the plan and the day.

If you want to see any of it against your own setup, a walkthrough is the fastest way. Everything we ship lands on product updates as it goes out.
