What's new
Brella release notes
A weekly digest of improvements to Brella's multilingual forms, surveys, and workflows.
Aug 14, 2026 – Aug 21, 2026
Template folders, easier language management
The Templates page now organizes your forms into folders you can create, rename, and drag templates into. Adding a new language to a template has been moved into the editor sidebar with a search box and an obvious split between languages you can add right now and ones that need a plan upgrade.
- Template folders: create, rename, and delete folders from the Templates dashboard, then drag any template onto a folder card to file it; opening a folder shows just the templates inside, with a clear empty state and a back-to-all-templates view.
- Add language, redesigned: the old full-page add-language route is gone, replaced by a sidebar panel that lists every supported language with search, splits them into "you can add now" versus "needs more plan slots," and locks out double-clicks while a translation job is already running.
- Per-template language overview: the template viewer now makes it obvious which languages a template already has, with one-click navigation into each translation instead of having to remember the URL pattern.

Sox Box integration and grouped questions
Sox Box is now wired up end-to-end: turn the integration on for a survey and you can push stored responses to Sox Box as clients from the analytics tab. Forms also gain a grouped question type you can view, edit, and translate, and locked system or integration templates can no longer be edited or saved over.
- Sox Box integration: enabling the integration on a survey adds a Send-to-Sox-Box action that pushes a stored response to Sox Box as a client plus its household members, with duplicate-send protection so the same response cannot be sent twice.
- Grouped questions: forms can now contain a grouped question whose name and member questions can be viewed and edited, with the grouped type now available in the language selector so each translation can target it.
- Locked templates: system and integration templates can no longer be edited from the templates update API, and the Save button on the template editor is hidden when a template is locked so accidental saves are blocked at both the server and the UI.
- Click into an integration template from the editor to inspect its full page-and-question structure instead of landing on an empty canvas.
Jul 31, 2026 – Aug 7, 2026
Multi-page forms, smarter branching
Forms can now be built and filled as multi-page documents with branching logic that sends respondents to the right next page. The template builder gains a redesigned create-from-scratch flow, and the translation editor shows English and the target language side-by-side with clearer read/write hints.
- Respondents now move through forms one page at a time, and option-level "go to page" rules send them straight to the right next page instead of the next question in sequence.
- The template builder adds a single landing panel that lets you start from blank, generate with AI, upload a PDF or JSON, or import a Google Form — all feeding the same multi-page canvas.
- AI-generated forms now respect page breaks, so the questions it drafts arrive already grouped into pages rather than collapsed into one flat list.
- The translation editor now shows English as a read-only reference and the target language as the editable column, with color-coded page and question cards so it's obvious which side you're typing into.
- Pure-text translation edits no longer advance that language's version number, so changes reach respondents immediately instead of waiting for the next structural update.
