Fountain Product Release Notes
March 20 - April 3, 2026

We’re sharing a set of updates across Source, Pool, and Platform. These changes improve visibility into sourcing performance, reduce avoidable spend, and give teams more control over campaign setup and targeting.

How to read this update

• Tier describes the release type (how we ship and what to expect).

• Status tells you whether it’s live now or coming soon.

Release tiers (what they mean)

Enterprise sandbox note:

If your account has a sandbox environment, some updates may appear in sandbox before they’re available in production. Reach out to your account CSM with any additional questions or for more information about timing.

• Continuous Development: small, intuitive improvements; generally go straight to production.

• New Feature: a net-new capability; enterprise accounts typically see sandbox first, then production after validation.

• Coordinated Migration: changes that require customer-by-customer coordination; enterprise accounts typically validate in sandbox first, then move to production on a scheduled plan.
