The Scorpio release is here, and it’s loaded with dozens of new features and significant enhancements designed to elevate your workplace experience. We’ve focused on three key areas: smarter automation, enhanced employee engagement tools, and deeper integration capabilities. This release will help you cut down on busywork, connect your teams more effectively, and ultimately create a more intelligent and engaging environment for everyone.
With this release, we’re also extending the Appspace Device App support window from six months to nine months to allow customers to better plan, test, and deploy app updates.

Appspace for Zoom Rooms
Turn your meeting room displays into engaging and informative communication channels with Appspace for Zoom Rooms. When the device isn’t being used for presentations or video calls, your playlist content will automatically activate, with room details displayed on top for easy info at a glance so you can connect with your employees, amplify your brand, and keep everyone in the know.
Newsletter Designer
Create engaging, professional newsletters from scratch or from several available templates. Our new Newsletter Designer gives you a flexible, native tool to easily curate, schedule, and deploy email newsletters, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual workarounds or third-party platforms.
Campaigns
Manage and measure your internal communication initiatives with Campaigns. This new module allows you to define clear goals and manage all your campaign content, including emails, pages, and stories, from a single location. With a dedicated analytics dashboard, you can track key performance metrics to understand what’s working, so you can confidently measure the success of your campaigns.
Order Management for Reservation Services
Managing service requests in a separate platform, or even worse, a spreadsheet can be a real pain. Our new order management feature provides a single, centralized view to track and manage all service requests. Now, you can easily see the status of every order, from the moment it’s submitted to when it’s completed. You can also filter and sort orders by date, location, or service type, so you always know exactly what needs to be done.
Space Reservation Metrics Refresh
We’re introducing a major visual refresh of the Space Reservation metrics dashboard. Now, you can get the insights you need faster than ever with clearer charts and more intuitive data layouts. But more importantly, you’ll be able to quickly understand reservation trends, resource usage, and overall booking behavior, helping you make smarter, faster decisions about your workplace.
Document Library Support for SharePoint
Share, collaborate, and access documents with ease by connecting SharePoint libraries directly to Communities, giving your teams a central place to access and manage all their files. Now you can create, edit, rename, move, and organize your files and folders without ever breaking your workflow or switching platforms.
Federated Search Support for ServiceNow
Information silos slowing you down? We’ve enhanced our federated search to support ServiceNow so you can quickly find knowledge articles, ticket history, and more without ever leaving Appspace, helping you resolve issues faster without switching between systems.
Device Map View
You can now visualize your entire device network on an interactive map, down to the floor level with our new device map view. Easily see every device’s location and check its status with clear online/offline indicators for the oversight you need to manage your device fleet.
Global Branding for Cards
Ensure every piece of digital signage content you create aligns with your company’s brand with global branding for cards. Build your cards with the confidence that your logos, colors, and fonts will be applied automatically, saving you a ton of time in the process.
AI Card Translation
Bridge communication gaps with automatic translation of digital signage content created with the AI Card Generator. Create your content once and then display it in multiple translated languages, ensuring your message is accessible and reaches the widest audience.
Beyond the stars
Scorpio includes dozens of other enhancements to help you create a workplace your employees love. Here’s a look at some other items you can find in this release.
