July 2026 Release Notes

Features, enhancements, and fixes released by Civic Roundtable in July 2026.

Highlights

Speaker attribution in meeting transcripts

Video meeting transcripts now label who said what, turning a recording into a searchable record of the conversation.

Space Managers can now make trusted external websites searchable in Roundtable themselves, with no support request required.

Document version history

Track who changed what and when in a Roundtable document, and roll back to any earlier version.

Microsoft Word document import

Turn the Word files you already have into collaborative Roundtable documents, without retyping or reformatting.

Speaker attribution in meeting transcripts

Transcripts from recorded Roundtable video meetings now identify each speaker. When the speaker is a known Roundtable member, the transcript @mentions them alongside their contribution.

Transcripts are available in the resource viewer's "transcript" tab, and flow into search and AI Answers, so you can ask what a particular person said across meetings and get an answer grounded in the actual record.

Self-service connected websites

External Website Search lets members find content from specific publicly accessible websites — an agency site, a resource library, a program homepage — directly in Roundtable search and AI Answers. Previously, setting one up required a request to Roundtable support. Space Managers can now do it themselves from space admin.

Self-service setup: add any publicly accessible website in-product and make it searchable in Roundtable and available to AI Answers, with no additional setup step.
Connected pages view: see every indexed page for a connected website, so you know exactly what will show up in search and AI Answers. There's a limit of 10,000 pages per space.
Quick Link and external resource integration: when adding a Quick Link or an external resource link, you can add that site to External Website Search in the same flow.

Document version history

Roundtable documents now keep a running history of your work, so you can see how a draft got to where it is and undo a change you didn't want.

Automatic snapshots are saved as you and your collaborators work.
A version sidebar lists each version with its timestamp and author, and marks the current one.
Read-only previews let you open any earlier version without affecting the live document.
Restore returns the document to any previous version.

This is especially useful for the kind of shared, cross-organization drafting that Roundtable documents was built for: when several partners are editing the same memo or set of meeting minutes, version history makes it clear who contributed what, and removes the risk that a well-meaning edit quietly overwrites someone else's work. Version history is available to document Editors and Owners; Commenters and Viewers won’t see it.

Microsoft Word document import

You can now create a Roundtable document by importing a Microsoft Word file. Most teams already have a backlog of work living in .docx files — meeting minutes, memos, policy drafts — sitting in shared drives or buried in email attachments. Import removes the "start from scratch" barrier: bring what you already have straight into Roundtable and it immediately gains cross-organization access, real-time collaboration, and connections to the meetings, resources, and discussions around it.
