# January 2026

*This month, we're rolling out smarter editing and new controls for BYO missions—so you can move faster and clean up less.*

## What's new?

* **Dscout + HeyMarvin integration**

  After running a study in Dscout, you can now export your entries’ CSV and media files and [import them directly into HeyMarvin](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/42069681362580). From there, analyze, tag, organize, and store your research alongside your other insights.

* **Study templates**

  [Study templates](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/45017376175636) help you launch research faster and more consistently. Save any fully configured study, including mission settings, recruitment criteria, screener questions, question types, answer options, device requirements, and more, as a reusable template for future work.

* **Control participation when recruiting your own audience**

  Set participant limits for [usability tests](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/42574023099156) and [media surveys](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/42678648668948) when recruiting via bring your own (BYO) participants. Once the limit is reached, the study automatically closes, and new participants can’t join via the share link.

# 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/2026/january-2026.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.
