Digest (Monthly Wrap)
Smarter updates, better looking reports, and your meetings finally feeding your strategy. Here's everything new in Cascade.
Better looking reports
Reports just got more flexible. You can now add coloured backgrounds to report headers and change the font colour to match, giving you proper control over branding and visual structure. Text widgets now support full colour and font size control too, so you can build more slide-like reports and decks that update themselves and actually look the part.
Page numbers are also available on report exports, enabled from the export settings panel.
Full details in the release article.
Connect Meeting Tools & Extract Insights
Your meetings are already full of strategy updates. Now Cascade can hear them.
Connect your Microsoft Teams or Zoom account and Tapestry (Cascade's AI engine) will pull insights from your meetings, mapped to the goals and projects your team owns in Cascade. After a meeting, you'll get suggested updates ready to review and post. No writing from scratch.
Open any goal and the sidebar will show you the latest facts Tapestry has picked up: what was said, when, and with what confidence. Nothing posts without your approval.
Head to your Tapestry settings to connect your account. Your IT admin may need to approve the connection first.
Full details in the release article.
Upload documents directly to Tapestry AI
Not everything important happens in a meeting. Now you can upload documents directly to Tapestry and it will extract relevant facts for your goals, the same way it does with meeting transcripts.
Drop in a project report, a strategy document, a board pack, or any file with useful context. Tapestry reads it, maps the content to your goals, and surfaces facts as suggested updates for you to review and post.
File Hub gives you a central place to manage everything you've uploaded. See what's been processed, what facts were extracted, and which goals were updated as a result.
Full details in the release article.
Attach files to your updates
You can now attach files directly to goal and project updates. Drop in a report, a deck, or any supporting document and it lives right alongside the update, visible anywhere updates appear including report tables and sidebars.
Tapestry reads the attachment too. Any file you upload can generate facts for your goals, surfacing suggested updates based on the content. Processing takes a few minutes, so suggestions won't be instant, but they'll be there.

New
Reports in Cascade have always been powerful. Now they look the part too.
We've shipped a set of improvements that give you much more control over the look and feel of your reports, whether you're building an executive dashboard, a leadership deck, or a branded strategy review.
Header background colours. Add a coloured background, divider and logo to any report header and change the font colour to match. A simple way to brand your reports or visually separate sections.
Text widget formatting. Text widgets now support full colour control and font size options, giving you the tools to build slide-like pages with real visual structure.
Page numbers on exports. Exported reports can now show page numbers at the bottom of each page. Enable it from the report edit settings panel.
Table sizing and density. Report tables now support Standard and Compact display settings, plus a table scaling option. Compact mode reduces row height to fit more data on screen, useful when you want a dense, data-focused view without sacrificing the full table. Table scaling lets you compress the table further to fit more on a page.
Smaller text and image widgets. Text and image widgets can now be resized down to a single column wide, the smallest grid unit available. Useful for tighter layouts and denser pages.
Export padding improvements. Fixed an issue where the first page of an exported report had more padding at the top than the rest of the pages.

Two amazing new features tied together in one. Attach files to updates to provide evidence or add files to Tapestry to improve AI insights across the product.
Attach Files to Updates
You can attach a file directly to an update on a goal to provide additional materials or supporting evidence. We also make this file available to Tapestry just for you so you can get better insights and better update suggestions.

Upload Files to Tapestry AI
Tapestry can extract strategic facts from documents you upload, turning meeting notes, reports, project briefs, and other files into suggested goal updates without any manual re-entry.
The File Hub is the primary place to upload documents you want Tapestry to process. Use it for files that relate to your goals but aren't tied to a specific update, such as strategy documents, project reports, or board packs.
Only you and the users or teams you selected at upload can view files in the File Hub. Organisation admins and Cascade staff cannot access your uploaded files, so your secrets stay safe with you.

Meetings & Files Hub
Meetings & Files is your personal hub in Cascade for everything Tapestry AI has learned from your work. It brings together:
Connected meetings — automatically processed from Teams, Google Meet, or Zoom via Tapestry Connect
Uploaded files — transcripts or notes you've added manually
AI-generated insights — the facts, gaps, and decisions Tapestry has extracted and linked to your goals
Think of it as Tapestry's working memory. Everything here feeds directly into the update suggestions you see on your goals, the insights history tab and upcoming AI capabilities.

Report tables can now pull goals from across your entire workspace, without selecting every plan. With objective filters, you can build tables that bring together goals from multiple plans in one view, filtered exactly how you need them easier than ever before.
This makes it much easier to build things like project portfolio views, cross-functional reports, and executive dashboards that reflect how your organisation actually works, rather than being limited to one plan at a time.
How it works
When configuring a table widget in a report, use the objective filter options to select goals from across your workspace. You can filter by plan, owner, focus area, status, or any combination, giving you precise control over what appears in the table.
When to use it
Use anytime you want to bring your a set of goals from across your workspace together with all of their success criteria. Some great examples:
Building a PMO or project portfolio view that spans multiple teams
Creating a cross-functional report for leadership that pulls key goals from several plans. e.g. All “Transformation Objectives” from across the workspace.
Tracking a specific focus area or theme across the whole organisation

Your goals don't exist in a vacuum. Every decision made, blocker raised, and win logged in your meetings has shaped where you are today — and now you can see exactly that.
The new Insights History tab on your goals stitches together facts extracted from your meetings and files into a chronological timeline of decisions, blockers, and progress. Instead of relying on memory or hunting through old notes, you get a clear, structured record of the context behind every goal — automatically.
This is the foundation for the richer AI capabilities coming later this year, and it gets smarter with every meeting and update.
Meetings & Files
We've launched a new personal hub that brings together everything Tapestry AI has learned from your work: automatically ingested meetings from Teams, Google Meet, or Zoom via Tapestry Connect, plus any transcripts or notes you've uploaded manually.
From here you can:
Review meeting summaries: topics discussed, action items, captured decisions, and open questions, all generated automatically from your transcript.
See insights mapped to your goals: the facts, gaps, and decisions Tapestry extracted and matched to your work in Cascade.
Manage your files: delete anything that shouldn't be there; purging a file removes all associated summaries and insights.
Privacy note: Your meetings are yours. Cascade administrators cannot see them. Insights on a goal are scoped to users who have access to the source meeting or file - nobody else. Read more…
Also in this release
Manual file upload now available as a fallback if you don't use Tapestry Connect, or if a meeting is missing, Tapestry processes uploaded transcripts the same way as connected meetings.
PDF, DOCX, PPT, XLSX and other common document formats coming soon.

Your meetings are already full of strategy updates. Now Cascade can hear them.
Every week, your team talks about what's on track, what's blocked, and what's changed. Until now, that context lived in meeting recordings and faded fast. Tapestry Connect changes that.
Connect your Microsoft Teams, or Zoom account and Tapestry will automatically pull insights from your meetings, mapped directly to the goals and projects your team owns in Cascade.
Here's what you get:
Suggested updates, ready to post. After a meeting, Tapestry drafts goal updates based on what was actually discussed. Risks, progress, decisions. You review, edit if needed, and post. No writing from scratch.
Insights surfaced in your goal sidebar. Open any goal and you'll see the latest facts Tapestry has picked up. What was said, when, and with what confidence. The full picture, without chasing anyone for a status.
Nothing posts without your approval. Tapestry puts the right information in front of you, and you decide what gets shared!

Gathering updates for meetings, leadership reports and board reporting can be time consuming. Cascade’s new Update Requests feature helps you co-ordinate updates across your team and to ensure the Report is completed on time.
Getting started with a meeting
From any report, you can now hit the Request Update button to request updates for all of the goals that haven’t been updated recently. People with goals on the report will receive an email and notification to guide them through completing the updates.
Chasing updates
There’s always that one person that doesn’t complete their updates on time. See exactly what’s missing from your report. Requests makes it easy to see who has and hasn’t completed their updates and allows you to easily remind them.
