What’s New in Shared Reality: Product Updates 2026.02

2026.02

At Samp, every product update is designed to help industrial teams work with greater clarity, continuity, and confidence. With Shared Reality 2026.02, we’ve focused on making information easier to manage across the entire digital workflow – from keeping P&IDs up to date without losing intelligence, to improving API integrations, simplifying large-scale user administration, and providing more control over complex 3D environments.

Shared Reality 2026.02 is here!

This release introduces powerful new capabilities to help organizations better structure, maintain, and scale their digital assets. New features include Hide / Show Areas for simplified 3D navigation, P&ID Update to preserve the Intelligent Layer when revising drawings, Annotation and Hierarchy APIs for deeper integration with enterprise systems, and enhanced user management for large organizations. Additional improvements across APIs, geospatial data, P&ID usability, and site administration continue to streamline daily workflows and make Shared Reality even easier to deploy and manage at scale.

Discover what’s new and see how Shared Reality continues to help industrial teams work smarter, collaborate more efficiently, and keep trusted operational data connected across the enterprise.

Hide/Show 3D Areas. Focus on what matters.

Gain better control over your 3D environment with the new Hide / Show Areas capability. Focus on what matters most, reduce visual clutter, and simplify navigation across complex environments.

 

Update your P&ID. Keep the intelligent layer.

Further streamline the P&ID revalidation workflow! P&ID Update allows you to upload revised drawings after drafting corrections while preserving the Intelligent Layer generated by our 2D Assetizer.

Bring context to your 3D with our Annotation API.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with your workflows, this new API makes it easier to create, list, and manage annotations with precise spatial positioning (X, Y, Z) and rich images, providing better context and collaboration.

Structure your assets with API-driven hierarchies

Parent, Child, Node, Root… the API now enables the creation and navigation of hierarchies, making it possible to build and manage Plant Breakdown Structures. This new capability streamlines CMMS integration and ensures consistency with existing asset structures.

Easier user management for large organizations

You can now invite non-SSO users (guests), where permitted by your security policy. You can also assign multiple users to a Scope at once, making large-scale user management faster and easier.

Additional Capabilities

  • Add Scopes and Group Sites – Group multiple sites under a common perimeter and manage user access at scale. Simpler administration. More scalable access management.
  • Enhanced User Export – Gain deeper insights from your user exports and simplify reporting. CSV exports now include additional information such as Status, Type, Name, Creation Date, and Last Connection.
  • Geo Layers on Terrain – Geo Layers can now be automatically mapped onto the terrain (MNT) when no Z value is specified, ensuring more accurate positioning of your geospatial information.
  • Automatic EPSG Detection in E57 Files – When an EPSG coordinate system is embedded in an E57 file, it is now detected automatically. No more manual EPSG selection, resulting in faster uploads with fewer errors.
  • Seamlessly Upload P&IDs Through API – New Schematic API endpoints allow you to automate the ingestion of P&IDs and other schematic documents into Shared Reality. Once uploaded, P&IDs can be automatically assetized by our AI, transforming them into fully interactive schematics.
  • Small P&ID UX Improvements. Big Productivity Gains.
    • Delete symbols directly with the Backspace key.
    • Instantly select the current item in the P&ID search list with the Enter key.
    • Improve Intelligent Layer readability with higher symbol opacity.
    • Visualize schematics more easily with improved management of the schematics list height.
    • Access your P&ID immediately – no more unnecessary page number lists.
  • Site Creator for Better Traceability – Instantly see who created a site directly from the Site Details panel.
