Employees who access a Brite guide during open enrollment do so an average of 3.6 times. In other words, employees who do engage are digging in. Even so, we believe there is more the Brite platform can do to drive higher top-of-funnel results by helping Brokers and HR teams be more intentional about how they get guides into employees' hands. The features included in Brite’s new messaging enhancements are the first of many important steps our team is taking to help accomplish this goal.
Guides No Longer Need to be Attached to a Campaign
One key behavior that leads to higher employee guide engagement is communicating with employees outside the open enrollment window, whether throughout the year or in the week or two leading up to OE. To fully enable year-round education use cases, you are no longer required to attach a guide to the campaigns you send from Brite.
Campaign Templates Library
When drafting campaigns, save yourself time by starting with a template from our updated template library, with quick filters for specific topics like Open Enrollment , New Hire and more.

Redesigned Campaign Creation Flow
Creating campaigns now takes place in a single view, making it easier to for you to the details of your message before sending it off to employees. As you complete the content portion of the campaign you will see a preview of the content in the medium you selected for your campaign. For even more confidence before the launch of a campaign, use the Send a Test feature in the top right corner of the page to send your campaign to a yourself and a handful of other recipients.

Campaign Performance
Once your campaign is finished sending, you can review how its performing across each of the targeted recipients of that campaign. If a guide was attached, the performance dashboard will show you how many recipients clicked the link to that guide that was included in your campaign. Review data in aggregate or by individual recipient.

Messaging and the Benefits Assistant
For users utilizing Brite’s Benefits Assistant, you can now configure your assistant so it is accessible within the messaging mediums you leverage to communicate with employees (Slack, Text and Teams). Once configured, employees can get benefits related questions answered without needing to open their benefit guide.

Email Editor (Coming Soon)
One of the most recurring pieces of feedback we receive from users utlitizing Brite’s messaging features is regarding the the lack of creative control available within the current email editor experience. Our team is actively working on granting you full control over the content of the emails you create and send from Brite by providing a familiar editing experience. Stay tuned for our beta rollout of the new Brite Email Editor scheduled late Q1, 2026!

No matter how much you love your space, it's natural after a while to think, “Maybe I should rearrange the furniture” or “Should I paint the walls?”. This is also a common occurrence in software, and for less trivial reasons, we here at Brite have been asking ourselves similar questions.
The Brite admin experience has been long overdue for a fresh new look, an upgrade of sorts, both visually and in ways that provide more value to our users. We are excited to announce an updated interface that you will have the opportunity to preview before it officially launches.
Over the next few days, you will see a new button appear in your Side Navigation bar that says “Preview Brite UI”. Clicking that button will toggle on the new experience for the business you are currently in. When previewing the new interface, clicking the “Exit Brite UI” button will toggle off the experience.

Though we made tweaks to where a handful of elements live, this update is primarily about how the Brite experience is presented. Here is what will feel new as you preview this interface.
Smaller headers + tighter spacing + modern type scale
Canvas-style layout with more space dedicated to the work area (benefits package forms, editor, analytics, etc.)
Warmer, softer color palette with a clearer visual hierarchy/contrast
The user profile has moved out of the header in the top right down to the bottom left of the page.
Notifications can be found by clicking on the user profile in the bottom left corner of the page
The company selector has moved out of the header and is now nested at the top of the left side navigation.
Past, Active and Upcoming tabs have been added to the Benefit Packages view. Benefit Packages will automatically be categorized into the appropriate tab based on the plan dates for that package.
A new component has been added to analytics dashboards highlight the dashboard name, description and included guides.
Tabs have been added to the Business Details to organize information.
Company Language has been renamed to Verbiage.
The Documents list is now a table that includes the document name, document type and date the document was uploaded.
Design Styles were updated to show the colors and fonts from the list view, so you no longer have to click into a Design Style to know if you found the one you’re searching for.
Users can now be found in the company kit.
A title field has been added to the users table.
If you have thoughts as you preview the new Brite UI, we would love to hear from you. Click here to leave feedback or click the question mark in the bottom right corner of the page, then Request a Feature .

Getting benefit details into Brite just got a whole lot smoother. We know importing plan data has been one of the most time-consuming steps. This release focuses on making it faster, more accurate, and easier to manage.
To make the update, navigate to the “Benefits” tab in Brite, open up a Benefits Package, and click the “Update” button. All of your benefit packages (both new and existing) will be updated to the new UI, and any imported files will utilize the latest Smart Import functionality.

The new Smart Import works exceptionally well when importing PDFs, such as Benefit Summaries, SBCs or even last years PDF guide. The AI technology still struggles with spreadsheets, so you can expect to see extremely high accuracy with PDFs and moderate to high accuracy with spreadsheets.
We’ve upgraded our AI import to recognize plan values in your PDFs better. Try importing the Benefit Summary PDF from carriers or last years Benefit Guide PDF as a starting point! More accuracy, more fields identified—less manual cleanup.
After you upload the file, you’ll see all detected plans. Select which plans to import, and correct any details, such as plan type. Then click “continue,” and we’ll only bring in details from the plans you chose.
Say goodbye to endless scrolling. The product form now uses tabs for quick navigation, with the employee-facing plan summary broken into smaller, relevant previews. When using the “smart import” feature, each field identified by our AI importer will be highlighted with an “AI Suggestion” pill. Click on this to accept or reject the value.
AI-suggested values are now placed directly into fields (highlighted for visibility). No more clicking “accept” one by one—just review and move on.
This is the game-changer. Instead of hunting through tabs to find the AI suggestions, flagged fields or empty fields, the Review Modal brings everything together into one place. In a single view, you can:
See all AI-suggested fields
Find flagged values that need your attention
Spot and fill in any empty fields
Once you’ve reviewed, you can finalize the plan with confidence—fast, clean, and complete.
These changes save you time, reduce errors, and streamline the import process, allowing you to focus on what really matters: building engaging, employee-friendly benefit guides.
