# May 2024

This month, we have added new features to account management and enhanced our recruitment options and Express tool.

## What's new?

### Recruit

* **Speed things up with passwordless participant signup**\
  We've simplified the experience when you invite your own participants to a mission in dscout from a share link. [Your participants can sign up in a single click](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038316112) and immediately view mission details without creating a password. This means less account set-up time and a smoother start so they can focus on what matters – your mission. *Available in Diary, Express, and Live missions.*

### Field

#### Express

* **More ways to visualize data in Express**\
  There's nothing like having options, in life and your data visualization. Now you can view chart data in Express as actuals, percentages, or both. Choose which view you prefer for that mission from the 'Analyze' tab.

### Account Management

* **Require informed consent on all research**\
  When scouts sign up for dscout they [agree to robust terms and conditions](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/12259714208148), but sometimes you (and some missions) need that extra layer of security. Your Account Manager\* can upload additional Informed Consent documents (such as NDAs) to the platform for scouts to review and opt into before starting the mission. Additionally, we now have the ability to make adding informed consent a requirement prior to launching any research to give you peace of mind that you will always have consent from participants. *\*This is an add-on available to Core+ / Select / Select + tiers only.*

* **Collaborate with your team more easily using our Slack integration**\
  You can now receive builder comments your teammates leave in the dscout platform as a notification within your organization's Slack, making feedback review that much easier. Not yet using [our Slack integration](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038798371)? You're missing out!

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.dscout.com/product-updates/2024/may-2024.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
