Check out the latest Anaplan feature updates and enhancements in our July 2025 official release notes. The information below offers supplemental information to that post.
Planning experience
- External URL navigation button
Page builders can configure navigation action buttons to link to external URLs, including non-Anaplan URLs, which will open in a new browser tab. This feature can be used to drive a more connected and streamlined experience by linking to other apps, providing shortcuts to platform pages such as their Workflow task inbox, and linking to external documentation, training, or job aids.
- Image and field card settings
Page Builders can now hide the 'maximize' and 'comment' options from the card toolbar image and field cards. This will ensure only the relevant settings are available for the cards, further streamlining the user experience. - Freeze rows/columns persistence
Freezing rows/columns in grids now persists after changes in context, including via hierarchy filter, sorting, filtering, and show/hides. This saves time for end users, improving their experience. - Workflow: Newly designed right-hand panel for workflow builders
The palette of steps that workflow builders can add to workflow templates has been redesigned, aligning it with the design of UX pages and Management Reports. - Anaplan XL Reporting (version 2507) general enhancements
We've added support for Anaplan workspace, model and module labels in grid titles and XL3ConnInfo function. We've also improved Member Selector by adding an option for users to set a threshold for incrementally loading members. There is also single sign-on (SSO) support for Atoti connections from Anaplan XL Web edition. - Anaplan XL Reporting (version 2507) Writeback enhancements
The Writeback panel is now available in GA. Support for Anaplan Breakback has been added, as well as an option for Grids and FreeForm reports On request writeback mode to write — but not retrieve — data, to ensure Excel formula retention.
Anaplan Intelligence
- CoPlanner: Link to relevant pages
CoPlanner can now display up to three direct links to relevant pages in response to a user's question. These links are contextual, personalized based on access permissions. They're designed to help users explore insights, locate where key actions can be taken, and quickly access related content.
What's next?
Please note: The information here is subject to change right up to release go-live time. This post is not a commitment to provide any features by a certain time frame and enhancements to the product may change before release.
Modeling functionality
- Dynamic bulk copy
This action type allows users to create a single action that applies seamlessly across multiple lists, eliminating the need for multiple individual actions. By simplifying setup and reducing redundant permutations, it streamlines the model and saves time.
Anaplan ADO
- GCS connector security
Connect securely to GCS using public/private key authentication for safer access. - Inbound connectors for Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) and RedShift
Quickly bring data from SFTP and RedShift into ADO to keep your planning up to date. - SFTP authentication
Secure SFTP connections using public/private key authentication, enhancing data security. - RedShift authentication
Supports simple username and password authentication for RedShift connections.
Enterprise experience
- UX browser tab syncing
We are adding a setting to enable UX pages to sync any context or data updates across browser pages. This includes two update types:- Context syncing: When a user selects items like ‘UK’ or ‘Q1’ in one tab, those selections automatically update in all other open tabs of the application.
- Data syncing: Any changes to data, such as adjusting forecasts or adding uplifts, instantly refresh across all tabs, so users always see the latest information without needing to refresh or reselect.
- Hierarchy chart pagination
We will be adding a setting to allow the Page Builder to enable pagination on a hierarchy chart so only the first five nodes are displayed in a branch. The user can then choose to expand out the nodes as required. This will allow greater visibility of the full hierarchy structure within a smaller screen space.
Workflow
- Add line item values into Workflow notifications
Workflow owners will be able to include additional line item values in the notifications sent to stakeholders — this feature is great for adding additional context for recipients of the notifications about what needs to be done, thus accelerating approvals.
