Come and explore the exciting new features of the **Lucanet CFO Solution Platform**! We update our CFO Solution Platform on a regular basis to offer you the latest features and improvements. {% info-box %} The versions of all solutions that you are currently using and those of the CFO Solution Platform are displayed when you select **About Lucanet** from the **Help** section in the CFO Solution Platform. {% /info-box %} ## Recently Released Features ### New in Version 260512 (Release Date 2026-05-13) Apart from bug fixes and performance enhancements, the release contains the following new features: #### Requesting License Upgrades Directly in the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform You can now request license upgrades for your solutions directly in the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform, without contacting your Lucanet representative or creating a support ticket. The function is available in the **Administration | Platform management | Lucanet licenses** workspace. License overview with upgrade option per solution When you submit an upgrade request, the platform automatically forwards the request to Lucanet and triggers the corresponding sales and approval processes. You will receive an e-mail and an in-app notification once your request has been processed. After approval, the upgrade is activated in your environment and the additional license slots become available. For information on how to request an upgrade, see [Managing Lucanet Licenses](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/documentation/administration/platform-management/licenses.md). #### New 'License Manager' User Role With the new **License Manager** user role, you can define which users are authorized to request license upgrades. Users with this role act as authorized representatives with contractual authority. All actions performed by License Manager users are legally binding. Grant this role only to users authorized to make contractual commitments. **Important for existing customers:** With this release, all users with access to the **Administration** module automatically receive the **License Manager** user role. This makes the function available without additional configuration. You can adjust the role assignment afterwards to meet your internal requirements. Note that at least one user with the **License Manager** user role must exist in your environment. For information on how to assign the user role, see [User Management](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/documentation/administration/user-management.md). For more information about the **License Manager** user role, see [User Roles | License Manager](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/documentation/administration/user-management/user-roles.md#licensemanager). ### New in Version 260423 (Release Date 2026-05-04) Apart from bug fixes and performance enhancements, the release contains the following new features: #### Test and Validate Safely: New Test Update and Sandbox Environments Lucanet now offers non-production environments so you can test on an isolated copy of your production system without affecting your live data or configuration. Two environment types are available: - **Test update environment**: Runs the **next** planned software version, available for a limited testing period ahead of each planned production update. It is particularly relevant for business processes subject to regulatory or compliance requirements, where pre-release validation helps ensure continuity before the update takes effect. - **Sandbox environment**: Runs the **same** software version as your production system. It can be used for testing configurations, training new users, or validating workflows before applying changes to production. Both environment types are currently available for limited solutions and can be purchased as an add-on to your existing license. Contact your account manager for availability and pricing. For more information, see [Non-Production Environments](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/documentation/getting-started/non-production-environments.md). #### New Features for Lucanet Copilot With this release, the following new features are available for Lucanet Copilot: **Redesigned User Interface** Lucanet Copilot has a refreshed look & feel, which includes: - The Copilot panel now opens with a welcome screen showing suggested prompts. - A sidebar with quick access to start a new chat using the + icon - Toolbar actions for pinning, expanding, and closing the Copilot panel **Persistent Conversation History** You can now start a new chat with our Lucanet Copilot without losing previous conversations. Each conversation is saved as a separate thread and is accessible via the history panel, which is searchable and grouped by recency (e.g. "Previous 7 days"). Conversations are automatically named after the first message you send. You can also rename or delete any conversation thread via the three-dot menu in the chat history panel. This allows you to organize and manage your conversation history. **Full-Screen Mode** Lucanet Copilot can now be expanded to full screen, providing more space for longer conversations or complex outputs. **Streaming Responses** Lucanet Copilot's responses now stream word by word as they are generated, so you can see the generated output progressively rather than waiting for the full response to appear at once. **Important - Chat History Retention Extended to 30 Days** Previously, chat history was stored for 24 hours only. Starting now, conversation history is retained for up to 30 days. The new Look & Feel of Lucanet Copilot ### New in Version 260331 (Release Date 2026-04-14) Apart from bug fixes and performance enhancements, the release contains the following new features: #### Improved Navigation with the Redesigned Main Menu The main menu of the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform has been redesigned to provide a clearer and more consistent navigation experience. The new main menu is displayed as follows, for example: New main menu with account menu open Key changes include: - **Home navigation**: The main menu now includes a dedicated **Home** item, allowing you to return to the start page of the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform with a single click. - **User account area and Account menu**: A new **user account** area at the bottom of the main menu displays your avatar, name, and selected language. Clicking anywhere in the user account area opens the **Account menu**, which provides quick access to **Language**, **Formatting preferences**, **Change password**, and **Log out**. To view your profile or manage consents, click the user info area at the top of the Account menu. For more information, see [User Interface of the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/documentation/getting-started/user-interface.md). #### New User Roles for XBRL Tagger You can now assign dedicated user roles for the **XBRL Tagger** in **User management**, allowing administrators to control access and permissions more precisely. The following roles are available: - **Administrator**: Has full access to all documents in the XBRL Tagger. Can view and perform all actions on all documents in the company, and assign roles and documents to other users. - **Editor**: The standard user role. Can perform all available actions within the documents they have created or to which they have been invited. Existing XBRL Tagger users have been automatically assigned a role based on their previous configuration: - Users who previously had the **Administrator** role in **Disclosure Management** and access to the XBRL Tagger have been assigned the **Administrator** role. - All other users with access to the XBRL Tagger have been assigned the **Editor** role. For more information on user management, see [Creating and Editing Users for the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/documentation/administration/user-management.md). #### Updated Permissions for Consolidation & Financial Planning User Management Managing Consolidation & Financial Planning roles and permissions in the **Administration** workspace now requires both access to **Administration** and the Consolidation & Financial Planning **Master** or **Administrator** role.
