Release Notes
What's new in Lab Atlas?
v1.8.0 - August 8, 2026
Added
Personal integrations. You can now connect services to Lab Atlas under your own account, using OAuth, without an admin configuring them for the whole organization. Your credentials are yours alone and are never shared with other members.
Egnyte is now available as a personal integration (beta), for use as project and shared storage.
A new Integrations page, visible to every member of your organization. Organization integrations and your own personal connections are managed side by side, with the organization ones still restricted to admins.
A personal cloud storage folder can now serve as your storage home. Personal drives are private to their owner and are never shown to other members of the organization.
A dedicated Tasks page, plus support for tasks at the project level. Tasks can now be tracked across your whole organization rather than only from within a study or assay.
An Audit Log, under Organization Settings. Activity is now classified as research, governance, or administrative. Research activity stays on project, study, and assay timelines; governance activity — membership and visibility changes on a record — appears on both the timeline and the Audit Log; and administrative activity, such as invitations, role changes, and integration connections, is collected in the Audit Log alone.
New activity events for task status changes and assignment, and for integration lifecycle changes.
Organizations on the Enterprise plan can now connect more than one organization integration of the same type.
Public API and MCP additions: project-level task endpoints, a
categoryfilter on the activity endpoint, endpoints for reading and disconnecting your own personal integrations, and a newlist_project_tasksMCP tool.
Changed
Study Tracker imports are now all-or-nothing: an import either lands in full or leaves your organization untouched. A record that cannot be written aborts the run and is named in the reported status.
Fixed
Organizations in enterprise tenants no longer show the wrong plan when more than one subscription record exists.
New organizations in an enterprise tenant are enrolled in the tenant's configured subscription.
Subscription start, renewal, and trial end dates are no longer displayed as January 1970.
