How to Review a Platform Release and Decide What to Adopt

To review a platform release, you separate the features that change how you work from the ones that merely change how things look — and adopt deliberately rather than all at once.

Why new features go unused

Most releases are announced once and then forgotten by everyone who was busy that week.

  • Features that would have solved a current problem, unnoticed
  • Workarounds maintained long after they became unnecessary
  • Teams unaware that a manual step now has an automation
  • Improvements applied automatically and never explored further

Three categories worth separating

CategoryAction
Automatic improvementsNothing to do — design and performance changes apply themselves
Opt-in featuresReview and enable where they fit, like the updates tab
New capabilitiesEvaluate against a current problem before adopting

How to approach it in Jestor

  1. Read the release summary in Jestor and note which items are opt-in.
  2. Check the dedicated video for each feature you are considering — each has its own.
  3. Identify a current manual step the release now covers.
  4. Try it on one process using app versioning, so users are not affected.
  5. Roll it out more widely once it has proven itself on that process.

Why choose Jestor for continuous improvement?

Jestor publishes a document listing every item in a release alongside per-feature videos, which makes evaluation possible without watching a full launch walkthrough.

Being no-code means many improvements arrive automatically — visual and usability changes apply without anyone rebuilding anything, so the review is about what to enable rather than what to migrate.
