File management

An all-new file browser

We’re thrilled to launch a complete overhaul to files with new views including a large visual grid display, and a feature-rich file inspector that makes reviewing, managing, and modifying your files much easier. Not only is this new browsing experience easily accessible from the main editor—where files have always been managed—but it can be accessed from the dashboard view as well.

For more information on files, see our guide.

Tagging & Filtering

Our previous label system has been replaced with a new tag system that supports multiple tags per file. We’ve also added new controls for filtering and grouping files, including a new ‘Used on’ filter that easily shows which pages assets are used on, which are assigned as downloads, or which assets have not been used at all.

For more information on files, see our guide.

Multi-select & Renaming

Before today, there have been a couple file management workflows missing that we’ve all come to expect from our tools: multi-select and file renaming. Now, both come like a breath of fresh air to the new file browsing interface and the same design workflows you’re familiar with in Standards. Hopefully this makes your experience that much better.

Access & Security

New ways to manage access

All accounts with access to Standards—including workspace members and guidelines viewers—can now be grouped and managed all in one place. Rather than inviting one person at a time, you can bulk import a database of emails to quickly add them all at once. The new Access screen also includes filters and activity logs, making it easy to see who can do what across a large workspace.

SCIM provisioning

For teams that manage people through an identity provider, Standards now supports SCIM provisioning with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID or any other provider who supports SCIM. Users and groups sync automatically, so access stays current as people join, move teams, or leave. Members and groups managed this way are labeled with the provider’s name and can’t be edited in Standards, keeping your identity provider as the single source of truth.

For more information on SCIM, see our guide.

Advanced per-page security permissions

Until now, each guideline could only be secured with a single security method. Now, you’ll set a default security for the guideline, then customize exceptions for specific pages that need a different method. For example, pages of a guideline could each use a unique password, or through SSO each have a specific access group assigned. Additionally, you can now design a unique sign-in page for each security method within a guideline.

For more information on page-level security, see our guide.

SOC 2 Certified

These updates are bolstered by our official SOC 2 Type II accreditation. Standards completed its SOC 2 Type II audit in October 2026. Behind it is a documented security program that we test continuously, not just once a year.

More enhancements

Cut, copy, and paste

We’ve radically simplified and enhanced the ability to copy design elements between sections, pages, or guideline in Standards. Now, anything can be quickly copied, cut, and pasted anywhere, making the process of extending your design work even easier.

New behavior: Enlarge media

One simple feature snuck into this release that quickly became one of our favorites—an all-new click behavior for Media elements—Enlarge. Allow viewers of your guidelines to zoom into any image, or even create a dynamic carousel from a collection of media elements throughout the page.

Audio visualizer

We’ve added a more expressive way to visualize audio in your guidelines as a waveform. This can be applied to either audio or video controls in place of a standard progress bar design.

Dashboard search

Last but not least, we’ve added search to the dashboard as a convenient way to navigate the many screens within your workspace. Try searching for guidelines, people, or settings with a simple cmd + K hotkey.
