📣 NEW: Extended Data Retention is here!

Hello everyone! We are thrilled to announce that Extended Data Retention is now available in ObservePoint.

The value for your team: We know that for many of you—especially in regulated industries—standard 13-month data retention just isn’t enough.

🔓 What this unlocks:

Long-term Trending: Track year-over-year improvements and recurring issues. Maintain multi-year history to satisfy governance and regulatory requirements without manual archiving.

Availability: Extended retention packages are now available for 3, 5, and 7 years. This applies to data across Account-wide Reports, Audits, Journeys, HAR Analyzer & LiveConnect.

Interested? If your organization needs longer data horizons, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager to discuss adding this to your subscription.

Over the past quarter, we have been enhancing your reporting experience. We've implemented several new features, alongside numerous minor improvements and bug fixes. Key updates include:
​

Improved Sorting and Filtering:

• Multi-column Sort: You can now sort your data across multiple columns. Use the button in the upper right or use shift click on the columns you want to sort
• Filter Search Flattened: The filter search experience has been streamlined.
• ALL/ANY Filter Bar Operator: This operator is now more visible for easier use.
• Sort by Logic: Accessibility severity for example.

Enhanced Report Visibility and Sharing:

• Report Sharing Status Column: A new column indicates if a report has been shared.
• Default Public Reports: All reports are now visible to others by default.

New Export and Data Access Options:

• Additional In-App Export Types: More export options are available directly within the application.
• Pages Without Specific Tags: Easily identify pages that do not have a particular tag.
• Folder Creator Column: A new column displays the folder creator.
• Find Answers with New Linking and Drill Paths: Discover insights through new linking and drill paths to other reports and Audit Reports.

Interface and Terminology Updates:

• Journey Status Colorization: Journey Status now includes colorization for better visual cues.
• Renamed Min/Max to Oldest/Newest: Date-related column aggregations now use "Oldest" and "Newest" for clarity.
• Retitled Accessibility Columns: Accessibility-related columns have been renamed for improved understanding.

Simplified New Reports: The views for "Create New Reports" have been streamlined to feature only the most essential columns, facilitating easier onboarding for users.

🛑 New: Stop & Finish Running Audits

You can now stop a running audit and keep the results it has collected so far — no need to wait for a full completion to see your data.

A new Stop & Finish Run option is available in the three-dot menu on your audit cards and reports. When selected, the audit stops scanning new pages and finalizes a report with everything it’s already collected.

You’ll also be able to see when an audit has been stopped — this status now appears in both the Audit Info panel and the Audit Runs report.
​

This gives you more flexibility to:

• End long-running audits early
• Capture partial results when you already have what you need
• Save time while still getting valuable insights
  ​

🚨 New Browser Console Logs Report 🚨

We’ve officially released the Browser Logs Report 🎉

Why this matters:

• Surfaces hidden browser errors and warnings that normally require dev tools to catch 🔍
• Saves QA and dev teams hours of manual debugging ⏱️

• Provides full context (page, tag, script, location) for faster troubleshooting ⚡

How it works:

During audits, ObservePoint automatically captures browser console logs (INFO, WARNING, ERROR), ties them to the page and script source, and presents them in an easy-to-read report.

👉 Check it out in the platform under Reports → Browser Logs.
