UpKeep Release: Incident Cost Tracking, Onboarding Paths & Branded Learning Portals
Track the real cost of safety incidents, onboard new hires with structured learning paths, and brand your training portal — plus multi-permit support, OSHA 300 enhancements, smarter Nova interactions, and unified navigation across UpKeep.
Published: August 28, 2026
Total Clarity, Total Confidence: Incident Cost Tracking, Interactive Onboarding Paths, and Branded Learning Portals Are Here
Safety decisions are business decisions — but incident impacts, training progress, and compliance status too often live in the dark. This release turns the lights on. UpKeep Safety now quantifies the true financial cost of every incident, while UpKeep Learn introduces structured onboarding paths and a learning portal you can brand as your own. Nova also got smarter about understanding what you actually want, and a reorganized navigation makes moving between Safety, Learn, and Maintenance a single click.
What's New
Know the True Cost of Every Incident with Incident Cost Tracking
Safety incidents have always carried financial weight — it just wasn't visible in your CMMS. Now it is. UpKeep Safety (v0.402.0) brings cost clarity and compliance depth to your safety workflows.
Incident Cost Tracking****Quantify: the real financial impact of safety incidents directly inside Safety Events.
- Track direct and indirect costs on every safety event
- Understand risk in clear business terms managers can act on
- Build the case for prevention investments with real numbers, not estimates
Multi-Permit Support for Permits to Work: Complex job sites rarely need just one permit — now they don't have to pretend they do.
- Attach multiple permits to a single Permit to Work without friction
- A smoother, more intuitive form experience for safety events
Flexible Company-Wide Access Points: Access Point QR codes can now be created for company-wide use without a fixed physical location.
- Perfect for mobile or floating equipment that never stays in one place
- One QR code, usable anywhere your team works
OSHA 300 Form Enhancements: Compliance logging that holds up under audit.
- Required Injury/Illness types and Object/Substance fields built into creation forms
- Carried through consistently in PDF downloads and CSV exports
Team Mention Notifications: Keep everyone in the loop on safety documentation.
- @mention team members across safety documentation modules
- Trigger instant notifications so collaboration never stalls
Try it now: Open a Safety Event in UpKeep Safety to log incident costs, or create a Permit to Work to see multi-permit support in action.
Get New Hires Job-Ready Faster with Interactive Onboarding Paths
Onboarding a new technician shouldn't mean a binder and a shrug. UpKeep Learn (v0.42.0) gives you structured onboarding journeys and a portal that feels like your company — not generic software.
**Interactive Onboarding Paths:**Build, customize, and assign structured onboarding journeys for new hires.

Try it now: Head to UpKeep Learn to build your first Onboarding Path, and visit Brand Settings to make the portal yours.
Nova Understands Your Intent with Guided Questions and App Annotation
Building with Nova just got a lot less back-and-forth. Two new features help Nova get the context it needs — and let you give feedback exactly where it belongs.
Guided Questions: While you work, Nova periodically asks questions along with a few suggested responses.
- Works through ambiguous prompts and surfaces gaps in understanding
- Resolves contradictions so Nova has the right context for the task at hand
- Available in standard chat as well as while building Apps and Workflows
App Annotation: Point-and-click feedback while building apps.
- Give pointed feedback on specific parts of your app — no more describing where the change needs to happen
- Just point, click, and tell Nova what to adjust
Try it now: Open Nova and start building — answer a Guided Question when it appears, or click Annotate to mark up your app directly.
Jump Between Products in One Click with Unified Navigation
Moving between Safety, Learn, and Maintenance is now completely effortless.
- Reorganized global sidebar puts core tools where you expect them
- Updated App Switcher gets your team to the right product in a single click
