What is HelloID?

HelloID previews bulk rule publishing and manual snapshot runs for its September release.

HelloID is an identity and access management platform from Tools4ever, publishing a monthly release train with separate preview, fix and hotfix entries. The 2026.09 preview names three changes: manually running a target snapshot, publishing provisioning rules in bulk, and exposing a product request's expiration date in the $request variable available to PowerShell tasks. The 2026.08 cycle closed with provisioning and Service Automation fixes.

What is Wiki.js?

Wiki.js 3.0 beta ships an MCP server so AI agents can work against the wiki directly.

Wiki.js 3.0 is still a beta not meant for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, refined personal access token scopes, page lifecycle rules with page ownership, a feedback board where reviewers manage ideas, and link completion in the markdown editor. Recent betas added live notes, math, access tokens, SCIM and Excalidraw collaboration.

HelloID previews bulk rule publishing and manual snapshot runs for its September release.

◆ Current state

HelloID is an identity and access management platform from Tools4ever, publishing a monthly release train with separate preview, fix and hotfix entries. The 2026.09 preview names three changes: manually running a target snapshot, publishing provisioning rules in bulk, and exposing a product request's expiration date in the $request variable available to PowerShell tasks. The 2026.08 cycle closed with provisioning and Service Automation fixes.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern across recent months is administrative friction being removed from Provisioning rather than new capability being added: rule mining thresholds became configurable, audit traceability improved for custom product requests, and target-snapshot permissions became visible in preview. Bulk rule publishing and on-demand snapshots continue that line directly. Service Automation work is smaller and mostly concerns what PowerShell tasks can see.

◆ Prediction

On the established cadence, these previewed items will appear in the 2026.09 release proper, followed within weeks by the fix entries that have accompanied every prior monthly train.

Wiki.js 3.0 beta ships an MCP server so AI agents can work against the wiki directly.

◆ Current state

Wiki.js 3.0 is still a beta not meant for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, refined personal access token scopes, page lifecycle rules with page ownership, a feedback board where reviewers manage ideas, and link completion in the markdown editor. Recent betas added live notes, math, access tokens, SCIM and Excalidraw collaboration.

◆ Where it's heading

Each beta adds a piece that larger teams need: SSO and SCIM, governance through ownership and lifecycle rules, and now machine access through MCP and scoped tokens. 3.0 is becoming an AI-accessible knowledge base with enterprise controls rather than a straight successor to 2.x.

◆ Prediction

Expect MCP tools to be tied to the new PAT scopes and page rules, and the beta cadence to keep adding governance features before a release candidate.
