# November 2024

This month, get ready to streamline your research—whether you're uploading interview videos, reopening missions, or exploring AI analysis, these updates are all about making your workflow easier and more flexible.

## What's new?

### FIELD

#### Live

* **Upload external videos to Dscout Live**

  You can now [upload any external interview videos directly into Dscout](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/31650822551700), unlocking all of Dscout’s powerful analysis tools—no matter how or where you recorded your interviews. This feature brings **a new level of flexibility to your moderated research**. You can centralize everything in one place, giving you the freedom to:

  * Keep all your interview data in Dscout, whether recorded in-app or uploaded from elsewhere
  * Use our full suite of analysis tools on your externally recorded videos, from creating video clips and tagging to building playlists and auto-transcription
  * Choose to conduct all your sessions directly in Dscout, use uploads exclusively, or go for a hybrid approach.

  Video upload is a perfect fit for those moments when scheduling is tough, you prefer to do in-person interviews, or when your team prefers impromptu conversations that are captured outside of Dscout. It’s a game-changer for organizing fieldwork insights and sharing findings with stakeholders faster. Like a Live session, a video upload will use one activity credit per video.

#### Express

* **Relaunch closed Express missions**

  Now it’s easier than ever to expand participant limits on recently closed usability tests or media surveys (without starting from scratch). Our [new relaunch feature](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/31637053065492) lets you re-open, adjust your N-Size, and launch again any Express mission using the auto-recruit option within 2 weeks of closing—all with enhanced flexibility and control.

* **Move questions in bulk**

  You can now [group multiple questions](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/29264630740756) in an Express study with just one click. Additionally, you can instantly create new groups while organizing questions, ensuring a streamlined and efficient process.

### ANALYSIS

**Our latest** [**AI Analysis**](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/27341160440468) **updates**

We’ve added three powerful features to the AI Analysis add-on, all inspired by your feedback.

* **Edit AI themes:** Customize AI-generated themes by refining titles and removing irrelevant ones at the individual response level for more precise insights.
* **AI Theme filters:** When analyzing your mission, now you can filter by AI-generated themes to understand the implications across the entire study’s data set.
* **Expanded bulk exports:** Our bulk export feature, now enabled for AI Analysis, allows you to export AI themes and summaries to speed up the analysis process beyond the platform.
