# Release Notes - October 2025

October’s updates are all about **clarity and control**.

From knowing exactly how fresh your data is, to drilling into commits behind every sprint, to tracking rework vs new work goals - these changes help you make faster, data-backed decisions with full context.

#### **Know Exactly When Your Data Was Last Synced**

A new **“Last Date Refreshed”** label now appears on every integration card, so you can instantly see when your data last synced.

You don't need to guess anymore if your Git or PM tool is up to date. If it hasn’t refreshed in a week, you’ll see:

> *“Data refreshed more than a week ago. Please contact support.”*

This helps you catch stale data early and keep your dashboards reliable.

**Works with:** GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure, Jira, Freshrelease, Cursor, Copilot, Sonar, Google Calendar, and Outlook Calendar.

#### **Go Deeper in the Investment Screen**

The **Investment** screen now lets you open up what’s behind the numbers.

Both **PR counts** and **commit counts** are clickable, so you can jump straight from a metric to the actual work that drove it.

**Available for:** Jira Cloud, Jira Server, Azure, and Freshrelease users.

#### **Goals PRO Now Tracks New Work and Rework**

We’ve added **New Work** and **Rework** metrics to **Goals PRO**, to help you see how your teams balance building new features vs fixing or maintaining existing ones.

You can now set more meaningful targets, like reducing rework over time or increasing the share of new work in a sprint.

#### ☕ **Wrapping Up October**

Hope this month’s updates help you with sharper visibility, up-to-date data, and metrics that tell a fuller story.

As the year winds down, remember this: sustainable pace beats sprinting to burnout. So take a breather, review your wins, and let the data guide your next move.

Here’s to finishing 2025 strong 💪✨
