Helio product updates - 21st August 2026
Merged Procedures tab [EU Monitoring]: We have merged the Procedures tab so now you can access all procedures from a single tab ‘All’ and then filter down to find procedures based on their status.
New layout for Procedures [EU Monitoring]: We have launched a new look and feel for Procedures to help make them easier to navigate. Now, when an individual opens up a procedure the default view is full screen. These new pages now include anchor navigation on the left-hand side so users can easily jump to key sections to make long records easier to move through and share.
Improved notifications for Procedures [EU Monitoring]: We have made it so that Procedures notifications are more useful and clearer to individuals: Procedure notification links now take users through to the procedure page they also identify which procedure field was updated, giving more context in emails and in-app notifications.
Reactivated Procedures notifications [EU Monitoring]: We had previously paused Procedures notifications during the summer recess to allow our analysts time to review and enrich procedure content. We have since reactivated these notifications in time for your return to Brussels.
Stakeholder interventions search [EU Monitoring]: We have added a new search bar to the Interventions tab found on an MEP profile so you can now easily search interventions by keyword.
New Posts landing page [EU Monitoring]: Now when you log into the platform as a monitoring client you will land on ‘Posts’ to reduce the amount of clicks you need to take to access to information most relevant to you.
Hidden Mentions [UK / EU Monitoring]: We have removed Mentions from the Feed, as well as the Mentions Report and Mentions set up in settings. We've made this change as we explore ways to enhance the email Mentions service (UK) and invest in other areas of the platform that provide the most value to clients.
People export [UK / EU Monitoring]: We have expanded the improved formatting of the contact export to people export so this too is easier to digest and utilise. Data is now also formatted with politician name per row and each field in single columns. You can now also choose which data you export.
Fixes: We have also released a number of fixes to ensure a seamless experience for all our users, these include:
Resolved an issue that was preventing UK clients from effectively searching across UK stakeholder groups, custom groups and constituencies pages.
Previously, clicking 'view procedure' in a notification sent you to your list of procedures, now when you click ‘view procedure’ you will be taken to the procedure in question.
We released a fix that prevented recorded activity from appearing on individual profiles when bulk actioned.
