# 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](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/40411372199060).

**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](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038798191).

**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.

## 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/2025/september-2025.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.
