Conceptboard ships sparingly; Smart sections brings hierarchy and real accessibility to the canvas
Conceptboard ships infrequently, with long gaps between releases and mostly small canvas refinements. The latest and most substantive addition is Smart sections, which adds hierarchical organization to large boards with full keyboard navigation and screen-reader support. Earlier 2026 work was limited to cloud-storage integrations and minor copying and styling tweaks.
Methodical monthly cadence builds out the enterprise knowledge-base stack — with MCP as the new wedge.
Document360 ships a predictable monthly release with two parallel arcs running through the 12.x line: enterprise auth and reader management (SSO, JWT, SCIM, permission inheritance) and AI-assisted content (Eddy AI chatbot, writing agent, search, and now an MCP server). The platform reads as a knowledge-base vendor in its enterprise-consolidation phase — features land in waves and get reinforced over consecutive releases rather than as one-shot launches.

Earlier 2026 work was limited to cloud-storage integrations and minor copying and styling tweaks.
The pace is slow and the changes incremental, but accessibility is an emerging emphasis, with Smart sections leading on keyboard navigation and screen-reader descriptions for canvas content. Cloud integrations and visual customization round out the recent work. The direction reads as steady refinement of the existing whiteboard rather than expansion.
Expect continued low-frequency releases focused on canvas usability and accessibility, possibly with more board-organization and integration features. The sparse cadence makes a confident near-term call difficult.

The platform reads as a knowledge-base vendor in its enterprise-consolidation phase — features land in waves and get reinforced over consecutive releases rather than as one-shot launches.
The most directional move was March's MCP server integration, which exposed the knowledge base to ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot via standard tokens — this just got followed by a dedicated MCP analytics dashboard in May, so adoption is real enough to instrument. Enterprise auth keeps getting layered: SCIM provisioning landed in March, multiple-JWT-configurations (up to 5 per project) landed in May. Reader permissioning is being pushed deeper into the content tree, with category-level inheritance now matching the user-level model.
Next iterations of the MCP surface will likely add scoping or quotas now that there's analytics to justify them, and reader-permission inheritance will probably extend from categories to articles and workflow stages. The 12.5 line implies a 12.6 in June following the same monthly pattern.
