The improved UI makes it easier to find and use built-in benchmarks, enabling you to transform real AI usage data into clear, industry-wide patterns. Refer to the [Monitoring AI tools](/user-guide/ai-tools/working-with-ai-tools/monitoring-ai-adoption.md#campaigns-for-monitoring-perception) documentation for more information.

Industry benchmarking is now also available for perceived weekly time saved in the Employee Experience with AI Tools section.

## Adopt: ✦ AI-powered guide refinement suggestions

Optimize walkthroughs with AI-generated suggestions in the Adopt Editor using the Nexthink Extension. Adopt now analyzes in-app guides and suggests grouping repetitive steps that interact with the same component, helping reduce noise and simplify guides with a single click. In addition, Step generalization suggests selecting a different, more general parent element when the current page element is too specific—for example, when a step highlights a specific date in a calendar instead of the entire calendar. Refer to the [Developing Walkthrough guides](/user-guide/adopt/guide-content-development-from-in-app-adopt-editor/developing-walkthrough-guides.md#using-ai-generated-suggestions-to-streamline-walkthroughs) documentation for more information.

Depending on your current licensing model, this capability may require an additional license. Please contact your Nexthink representative for more information.

## Applications: Search bar on Key Pages widget

Find specific key pages faster when monitoring web application performance with a new search bar in the Key Pages & URL widget. Search by key page name or URL, with consistent behavior across tabs and full URL visibility on hover. This helps distinguish similar URLs and accelerates troubleshooting when working with large datasets. Refer to the [Page loads](/user-guide/applications/monitoring-applications/monitoring-web-applications/performance/page-loads.md#key-pages-and-urls) documentation for more information.

## Audit events: More detailed events for user and role changes

Strengthen security and compliance with enhanced audit events. You can now view detailed records of permissions granted or revoked when editing roles, as well as roles granted or revoked when editing users, providing clearer oversight of access and configuration changes. Refer to the [Audit trail codes Infinity](/security/exporting-audit-logs/audit-trail-codes.md) documentation for more information.

## Digital Experience: Improved DEX Scoring

You can now assess digital employee experience more precisely with DEX score metrics separated by device type. This update distinguishes between physical and virtual (VDI) devices, removing irrelevant metrics and reducing false positives in VDI environments. A new set of metrics from VDI experience is now available in the DEX score configuration. You can opt in to this improvement, while it is enabled by default for new tenants. Refer to the [Digital Experience Score Management](/user-guide/administration/system-configuration/digital-experience-score-management.md#digitalexperiencescoremanagement-enablingdatalocationforbenchmarking) documentation for more information.

Depending on your current licensing model, this capability may require an additional license. Please contact your Nexthink representative for more information.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.nexthink.com/whats-new/whats-new-2026.1.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
