Recap February 2026: Channel Your Inner Smooth Operator

Smoother. Smarter. More in control.

February has been one of those months where you pause for a second and think: wait, when did all of this happen?

Behind the scenes, we’re building something new that will change what’s possible with data inside Cornerstone and beyond. More on that soon.

In the meantime, we’ve been focused on the things that make everyday work smoother. The Octily Content Editor received a significant update, bringing scheduled publishing, exportable reporting, and clearer visibility into what’s changing and why.

We also looked at something less technical but just as important: creative consistency and stability in employee experience. Because when pages connect and change slows down, work simply feels better.

There were also a few internal milestones worth celebrating: Susan officially stepping into the CSOO role, Daniel marking seven years as our CTO, and Fernanda celebrating her first year with us and already outgrowing the “junior” label.

Here’s what February looked like.

What's New in OCE

Managing custom pages, News, and additional content inside your platform should not feel heavy or technical.

The latest Octily Content Editor updates bring clearer visibility on product changes, scheduled publishing for News and Articles, downloadable engagement reporting, and more precise language control.

Plan communication with exact timing. Export performance data in seconds. Apply updates only where they’re needed.

✨Control increases. Friction decreases.

Creative consistency: why engagement drops when every page feels different

Pages don’t need to be broken to cause problems. When nothing connects, engagement drops.

Inconsistent layouts, styles, and interactions slow people down and quietly undermine trust. Creative consistency removes that friction and makes engagement easier

💸 Inconsistency is expensive.

Stability is the new innovation in employee experience

After years of constant change, people are tired of relearning the basics. New tools and initiatives arrive before the last one has even settled, creating friction instead of momentum.

Stability is not about standing still. It gives people something reliable to build on, so progress can actually last.

🔄 More change doesn’t mean more progress.
