# October 2024

This month, we have released a redesign of our recruiting tool and other exciting updates.

## What's new?

### Recruiting

#### New Recruit experience

Our recruiting experience has gotten a makeover! Along with the fresh new interface and an improved workflow, now you can add knockout questions first and quickly filter out unqualified participants before moving on to the rest of your screener.

These exciting updates improve the way you create screeners and select participants for your studies, giving you:

* More control over who you recruit for studies
* A faster experience in creating new screeners
* A new view that shows where participants are getting knocked out from knock-out questions or quotas

If you want to learn more, log into your dscout account and join the step-by-step tour.

### Field

#### Express

* **Try out password-protected prototypes on mobile**\
  We are excited to share that password-protected prototypes are now supported on mobile. You can seamlessly [utilize these secure prototypes](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/25290050616852) on both desktop and mobile missions.

### Account Management

* **Easily track incentive data**\
  We've enhanced our incentive tracking. On the overview page, you can easily view both your purchased and spent incentives for the current subscription term. This update streamlines reconciliation for Ops teams and provides you with a [clear view of your incentive balance](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/7706166641940), so you always know where you stand.

# 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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
