Boosting collaboration and control: New features for Stack Overflow for Teams

At Stack Overflow for Teams, we’re always looking for ways to make knowledge-sharing seamless, intuitive, and impactful. Our latest Enterprise release brings exciting new features designed to enhance collaboration, streamline user management, and expand API capabilities. Whether you’re keeping your team engaged, simplifying admin tasks, or integrating with external tools, these updates are here to make your experience even better.

Keeping teams informed is key to maintaining engagement and driving collaboration. Our new channel digests for Slack deliver a weekly summary of key activity based on selected tags—right where your team is already communicating.

These digests highlight:

Leaderboards showcasing top contributors by user and department
Usage metrics to track engagement and activity
Top unanswered questions to help prioritize knowledge gaps

By surfacing relevant insights in your team’s workspace, channel digests encourage participation and ensure your knowledge base remains active and valuable.

The image shows a Slack interface with a pop-up window titled "Stack Overflow for Teams." It provides a summary for the week of September 1st to September 8th. The summary highlights that 26 users earned 310 reputation, added 40 new pieces of knowledge, helped unblock 56 fellow users, and added 3 subject matter experts. Below this, there are lists of "Top contributors" and "Unanswered Questions." The top contributors feature names and their respective reputations, with Dimitri Petrov leading with 274 points.

We know that managing users at scale can be a challenge. That’s why we’ve introduced user search by external ID, making it easier for admins to find and manage users using identifiers unique to their organization.

Now, from the Admin > Users screen, administrators can quickly locate users with their external ID—simplifying access control and user updates. This small but mighty feature improves efficiency and ensures admins can manage their Teams instance in the most intuitive way possible.

An interface shows a "Users and permissions" management page. It includes a search bar for names, emails, usernames, or external IDs. Three tabs display user counts: Activated (20,266), Deactivated (82), and All (20,348). The page lists users with columns: Display name, Full name, Email, Last Seen (UTC), and Role. A "Download CSV" button is on the right. Example entries show users with names, emails, recent activity, and roles as Admin. A sidebar on the left highlights the "Users and permissions" section under "Access Management."

For teams leveraging API v3, we’ve added two powerful new endpoints to enhance automation and reporting:

Image Upload Support: Users can now upload images when creating content via API applications, ensuring visually rich documentation. Supported formats include JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and WEBP, with Stack-hosted image URLs returned for easy integration.
Tag Watcher Data: The API can now capture and deliver details on tag watchers, giving admins and community managers deeper insights into tag engagement. With this data, you can track knowledge trends, identify power users, and even create targeted engagement campaigns.

A JSON data snippet displayed on a red background shows an array under "users" with details for three users. Each user entry includes fields: "id", "accountId", "name", "avatarUrl", "webUrl", "reputation", and "role". Users are named "Test Question Answerer", "Test Downvoter", and "Test NoRepUser". Their reputations are 6217, 5746, and 3, respectively, with all holding the role "Registered". The "avatarUrl" and "webUrl" fields contain URLs for user avatars and profiles.

These updates are all about making Stack Overflow for Teams a more powerful, integrated, and user-friendly knowledge platform. Whether you’re driving engagement with channel digests, simplifying admin workflows with user search by external ID, or enhancing automation with new API capabilities, these features help your team get the most out of their knowledge base.
