Current Adobe Analytics release notes (October 2026)
Last update: October 19, 2026
These release notes cover the October 2026 release period. Adobe Analytics releases operate on a continuous delivery model, which allows for a more scalable, phased approach to feature deployment. Accordingly, these release notes are updated several times a month. Please check them regularly.
New features or enhancements features
Read-only permission for the Adobe Analytics MCP server
Administrators can now give users read-only access to the Adobe Analytics MCP server. The new MCP Read-only Access permission item gives users access to all read-only tools, without letting them create projects, segments, or calculated metrics.
The existing MCP Access permission item is renamed to MCP Full Access. Users with this permission keep access to all tools, including tools that create, change, or delete components.
For more information, see Set up permissions in the Adobe Analytics MCP server documentation.
Journey canvas: Compare percentages
When comparing a journey to a prior period, you can now enable the new Compare percentages option to show the change in percentage points for each node, arrow, and fallout. This is useful when comparing rates, such as retention between nodes or fallout, because the comparison stays accurate even when the number of people in the journey differs between date ranges.
For more information, see “Compare percentages” in Configure a Journey canvas visualization.
Automatically generate component descriptions
You can now automatically generate descriptions for dimensions, metrics, calculated metrics, segments, and date ranges. This helps Workspace users understand which components to use, especially in organizations with large component libraries.
You can generate a description for a single component, or generate descriptions for many components at the same time.

Adobe Brand Visibility integration
Connect Adobe Brand Visibility with your organization’s Adobe Analytics data so you can measure how AI-driven discovery translates into real website engagement and business outcomes.

Classification data improvements in Data Warehouse reports
Classification data is now more accurate in Data Warehouse reports. With these improvements, you might notice the following differences in your Data Warehouse reports:
- Blank values where you previously saw classification values: When a classification value is deleted from a classification set, Data Warehouse now correctly shows a blank. Previously, a deleted classification value could keep appearing in later reports.
- More complete classification values: In some cases, Data Warehouse previously showed only one of several different classification values. Data Warehouse now shows each value.
- Classification values may be represented differently in Analysis Workspace (uncommon): Data Warehouse can display all associated classification values, while Analysis Workspace presents a single value. As a result, classification values may occasionally differ between Data Warehouse and Analysis Workspace.
For more information, see Classification dimensions in Data Warehouse.
CX Enterprise Coworker: Analyze Adobe Analytics data in Coworker Chat
Adobe CX Enterprise Coworker Chat can now perform advanced data analysis that was previously possible only in Analysis Workspace. Coworker Chat accesses data from your Adobe Analytics report suites, allowing you to explore that data and get answers to natural-language prompts.

End-of-life (EOL) notices eol
On August 31, 2026, the following Analytics Legacy API services reached their end of life and were shut down, and any integrations built using these services no longer function:
- Adobe Analytics API (version 1.4)
- Adobe Analytics WSSE Authentication
Integrations that use the Adobe Analytics API (version 1.4) must migrate to the Adobe Analytics 2.0 API, while WSSE integrations must migrate to an OAuth-based authentication protocol in the Adobe Developer Console.
See the Adobe Analytics 1.4 API EOL FAQ for answers to common questions and further guidance.

Postponed features
Streaming media services: Support schedule data
You can now upload scheduled data of past live Streaming Media content to more easily and accurately track viewership.
The following are examples of live content that are supported with schedule data upload:
- FAST (Free Ad Supported TV) platforms
- Local streams
- Live sports
Uploading schedule data allows you to track viewership data for individual programs that ran during the time you designate in the upload file. You can even gather viewership data for specific topics or program segments.
These capabilities are available regardless of how you implemented Streaming Media Collection.
Previously, it was difficult to accurately tie a given session to specific programs when analyzing live content, and it wasn’t possible to tie a given session to individual topics or program segments.
For more information, see Upload schedule data to track live content.
