# Studies, connected tools, and initiative learning move into one loop.

v0.98.0 · Released 2026-07-12

Zentrik now lets teams run Studies from an initiative, bring the learning back into that initiative, and see more clearly what connected tools are doing. Notion can also provide reviewable intent for starting initiative work.

## What changed

- Create and review Studies in the context of the initiative they inform
- Carry study learning, evidence, and product impact into initiative decisions
- See connected-tool health, run history, attribution, and recovery paths
- Start an initiative from a reviewable Notion brief instead of copying it by hand

## Studies become part of the initiative learning loop

An initiative can now hold the decision, the study that tests it, the responses that inform it, and the product impact recorded afterward. The result is a traceable path from intent to evidence to what the team decided.

## Connected work is easier to trust

Integration surfaces now show whether work is connected, scheduled, running, complete, or needs attention. Run history and item-level attribution make it easier to understand what arrived and recover when something did not.
