September 2025

This month, we’re making it easier to test multiple concepts, giving more users the ability to build research, and helping you (and your participants!) keep better track of live interview sessions.

What's new?

One mission, many variants

No more juggling multiple media surveys or usability tests—now you can test up to three variants in a single mission. Create variant groups with different tasks, questions, or content, and participants will be randomized automatically. With multi-variate testing, you can:

• Randomize full sets of tasks/questions
• Evenly distribute participants across versions

This opens up flexible use cases. For multi-concept testing, you can show participants several concepts in random order to reduce bias. For single-concept testing, you can assign participants to just one version to compare results evenly. To learn more, see Multi-variate testing.

New for Admins: Build and launch research

Admins in your organization aren’t just limited to monitoring access, billing, or commenting anymore. Now, they can also build and launch research in Dscout.

This update gives Admins more flexibility to support their teams and contribute directly to research workflows—without needing to switch roles. To learn more, see User roles and permissions.

Calendar updates, straight to your inbox

Your session emails now include a direct link to join, making it easy for you and your participants. You’ll also see a Google Calendar or Outlook invite right in the email, so adding it to your calendar is just a click away.
