By What changed, October 2026 (data through October 23, 2026)
Last updated October 23, 2026. Data through October 23, 2026: every row was checked on that date against the vendor's own page. A change we know only from a news story, a reseller or a social post is not listed. Harvey also published engineering write-ups (October 1 and 7) and office announcements that we did not count as product changes. Figures are Harvey's and are labeled as such.
| Date | Change | What the vendor says | Vendor source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 22, 2026 | Review tables: server-side sorting, filtering and paging | Sorting and filtering moved from the browser to the server and rows load page by page. Harvey reports speedups of 1.2x (under 1K cells) to 5.8x (10K to 100K cells) and says tables that used to break now load. The post does not describe how the figures were measured. | Harvey blog, Oct 22 |
| Oct 21, 2026 | Connector Library now generally available | Customers can enable reviewed connectors in their workspace, add a custom MCP connector, and start write-back support with document management platforms. Named in the post: Docusign, Jira, Slack, Everlaw, NetDocuments, Outlook. | Harvey blog, Oct 21 |
| Oct 19, 2026 | Harvey Graph | A system that organizes matter data and hands the structure to agents at run time. Harvey reports gains in rubric pass rate and task cost on its Legal Agent Bench tests with the context graph, and calls the results early; the figures are in the post. No separate launch date is given. | Harvey blog, Oct 19 |
| Oct 15, 2026 | Legal Work Orchestration | Tasks, task comments and notifications are rolling out across workspaces. Templates for recurring matters are in an early access program that customers join through their Harvey team. | Harvey blog, Oct 15 |
| Oct 9, 2026 | The Brief: October 2026 (15 items) | Harvey's own roundup lists, among others: PacerPro Vault Sync, Gmail search, Ironclad file import, an Octus knowledge source, 130+ new legal research sources, Excel formula understanding, an Agents tab on mobile, and English, German, Italian and Portuguese response languages. The Brief also names Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra as available models. | Harvey blog, Oct 9 |
| Oct 7, 2026 | Motion to Dismiss workflow with LexisNexis | A drafting workflow grounded in LexisNexis case law, statutes and Shepard's Citations with lawyer approval checkpoints. Available to Harvey customers with Ask LexisNexis access and to customers who also use Lexis+ with Protégé. A Motion for Summary Judgment workflow is described as planned. | Harvey blog, Oct 7 |
| Sep 30, 2026 | Agentic search across iManage, SharePoint and Google Drive (late September, for context) | Described as available now in Harvey Assistant and the Word add-in; a Harvey representative enables it per workspace. It respects each user's existing permissions in the connected system. | Harvey blog, Sep 30 |
How to read the table
- The vendor's words, not ours. The third column paraphrases what the vendor states. We did not test the features, so a row is an announcement, not a verified capability.
- Dates are the post dates. A feature can ship before or after the post that announces it, and "rolling out" means not every account has it yet.
- Figures are the vendor's. Where a number appears it is labeled as the vendor's own, with its method when the vendor gives one.
What we could not confirm
- Whether the review table speedups hold on your tables: Harvey does not describe the measurement method.
- When Harvey Graph, beyond the case law graph, reaches every workspace: the post gives no launch date.
- Plans and prices: none of the posts states them, so this page does not either.
What to check before you rely on it
This is operational information, not legal advice.
- Ask the vendor whether the change is enabled for your account, region and plan, and get that in writing.
- Re-verify any output that cites authority; a new feature does not replace your own check of the cited source.
- Compare vendors on the same dated basis in our vendor comparison pages and our other What changed pages.
