We are pleased to announce four new features to strengthen Dive's content organization and on-site demand aggregation. These features provide comprehensive coverage from planning the procedures you need to create, to organizing existing procedures and collecting requests from the field.

Additionally, we have released integrated enhancements in the education and training domain. For details, please refer to New Feature Release (1/1): Integrated Education and Training Enhancements (Training courses, Personal page, Deadline reminders, Evaluation and Viewing records).

① Creation Plan (Plan and assign procedures to be created by folder)

A new feature that lets you plan procedures to be created by folder and manage assignments, deadlines, and progress in one screen. While "Desired procedures" (Idea book) collects bottom-up requests from the field, Creation Plan is a board for placing planned preparations top-down first.

• Plan map: A canvas organized by folder hierarchy that shows a bird's-eye view of planned and existing procedures. Drag to reorder and reassign.
• My assignments: Table view showing only procedures assigned to you. One-click workflow from starting creation to completion report.
• Excel import/export: Bulk register and update using the same format as the Procedure list Export to Excel. Supports Excel export for all procedures and My assignments.
• Promotion from Desired procedures: Upgrade requests collected from the field by adding assignments and deadlines to formal creation plans.
• Integration with deadline reminders: Automatic email notifications to assignees 3 days before, 1 day before, and after the deadline (see Release A for details).

Available plans: The "My assignments" view is available in all plans, while Plan map and Excel import/export are available in Pro and above. The Creation Plan page can be opened by users with Created user role or higher. Access it from the Sidebar [Manage] → [Creation Plan].

For more details, please refer to Creation Plan (Plan and assign procedures to be created by folder).

② Tag feature (Team-common tags for procedures and folders)

You can now add team-common tags to procedures and folders for classification, search, and visualization. Register unified vocabulary such as "Important," "In progress," or "For new model A" once as a team, then simply select and add them (no free-form input, so no inconsistent notation).

• Manage tag vocabulary: Register names, colors, and emphasis (bold) in [Dictionary / Templates] → [Tags] tab (Team Administrator and above).
• Add to procedures: Select from Basic information tab / List [⋯] menu → [Set tags] (reflected immediately).
• Can also be added to folders: Add tags using the same operation from the folder's [⋯] menu.
• Filter by tags in search: Use the advanced filter in procedure search to specify procedure tags or folder tags.

Available plans: Available in all plans. For more details, please refer to Add tags to procedures and folders (Tag feature).

③ Comment thread on Desired procedures

Comment threads have been added to each card in "Desired procedures (Idea book)". You can now discuss request details, share related information, and consult on Authoring policy in one place.

• Expand or close the thread with the comment icon in the bottom right of the card. The number next to the icon shows the total number of comments (icon only if 0 comments).
• You can edit or delete your own comments. Thread structure is flat, single-level.
• When you Post a comment, email notifications are sent to the requester and anyone who "+1"d the request (excluding yourself).
• When sorting or filtering, the overall list order is frozen and the open comment thread is not overtaken.
• Promote a request to the Creation Plan, assign it, set a deadline, and follow up.

④ Dictionary bulk import with Excel/CSV (3 dictionaries)

The Pronunciation Dictionary, Translation Glossary, and Notation Unification Dictionary on the "Dictionary / Templates" page now support bulk registration using Excel/CSV. You can complete migration from other tools and import terminology tables managed in-house with a single operation.

• Click the [Bulk import] button on each Dictionary to import by Select file or Paste.
• Diff preview (add/update/skip/error) lets you confirm content before finalizing.
• The Excel template can be downloaded with existing content already filled in (edit and re-upload as-is).
• Supports CSV / TSV / Excel (.xlsx / .xlsm) with automatic UTF-8/Shift-JIS detection.

For more details, see the articles for each Dictionary: Pronunciation Dictionary / Translation Glossary / Notation Unification Dictionary

A Virtuous Cycle from Create to Use

The features released this time strengthen the entire content preparation lifecycle: Idea book for collecting what field staff need → Creation Plan for deciding what to create → Tag feature that supports post-creation organization → Dictionary bulk import that enables terminology alignment.

Use the create-organize-activate cycle together with integrated enhancements in education and training (for details, see this release).
