April 2026 brings the most significant discovery upgrade in MarketScale's history: a fully rebuilt search experience that lets your team find any piece of content by keyword, topic, speaker, or transcript phrase -- across every content type in your channel. Alongside search, this release delivers substantial performance improvements to dashboards and feeds, a clearer content lifecycle for publishing and completion, and a wide sweep of UI polish, security hardening, and stability fixes across recording, AI Writer, uploads, and more.

This release includes platform-wide search with inline media preview, a new editor coaching data API, and expanded version visibility in the proofing room.

Your team can now search across every content type in your channel -- videos, folders, transcripts, AI summaries, people, and more -- from a single interface. Results include an inline media player so reviewers can preview video directly from the results list without navigating away. Search supports fuzzy queries, transcript-level phrase matching, and filters by content type and date range, making it faster to surface the exact asset you need even in large libraries.

A new read-only API endpoint now aggregates version-level editor performance data -- including feedback, ratings, comments, QC results, and video scores -- to feed external tools that generate weekly coaching reports for editors. Channel administrators and post-production leads can use this to automate performance reviews without manually pulling data from the platform.

All content versions -- including sub-versions, failed takes, approved cuts, and editing iterations -- are now visible to clients at all times in the proofing room. Previously, decimal versions were hidden from clients and required internal access to view. This change gives clients and reviewers a complete picture of a project's edit history without requiring admin intervention.

This release includes search filter reliability, content lifecycle action clarity, faster dashboard and feed load times, a redesigned recording room card, loader consistency, and proofing room UI polish.

Several issues with search filters have been resolved and hardened this month. The date filter now correctly restricts results to the selected range. Content type filters remain responsive after an initial selection without requiring a reset to "All types." Sidebar counts now accurately reflect the active filter state rather than showing totals that contradict the results displayed. The search implementation has also been hardened against a class of security vulnerabilities and optimized to reduce page load times on filtered result sets.

The actions available on content cards have been clarified to reduce ambiguity between publishing and completing content. "Publish to Feed" now explicitly approves content and makes it visible in the channel feed. "Mark as Complete" finalizes content without changing its feed visibility -- content that was already in the feed stays there, and content that was not published remains accessible but does not appear in the feed. These clearer labels reduce the chance of accidental publishing or unexpected feed changes.

Dashboard load times have been significantly reduced through a combination of smarter data loading, targeted caching for approval queue counts and feed data, and eliminating patterns that caused repeated database reads on every page visit. Unbounded data loads on high-traffic pages have been replaced with paginated responses, reducing the risk of slowdowns as your channel's library grows. These changes also eliminate the database timeout errors that affected the editing queue and video tracker pages earlier this month.

The recording room card has been updated with a refreshed visual design that aligns with the platform's current component system. The updated card improves readability and consistency with the rest of the recording experience.

The proofing room has received a first pass of visual updates, replacing legacy UI elements with the platform's current component system. The changes improve visual consistency and accessibility without altering any proofing workflow functionality.

Loading indicators across the dashboard and survey views have been standardized to a single consistent component, replacing several visually inconsistent spinner styles that appeared throughout the platform.

The platform's front-end bundle has been split into per-route chunks so that each page only loads the code it needs. Previously, every page -- including login -- loaded the entire application up front. This change reduces the time it takes for the platform to become interactive, particularly on first visit.

The recording room's frame rate handling has been updated to use a preferred target rather than a strict requirement. Previously, devices that did not support exactly 30fps could fail to acquire the camera at all. The updated behavior gracefully falls back on devices with virtual cameras or webcams that report a different supported frame rate.

The following issues were resolved this month across search, AI Writer, recording, uploads, the dashboard, the coaching feed, the asset library, folders, and profile settings.
