XNatura Platform
The latest news from the XNatura platform
Every feature, improvement, and fix we release, told day by day in a simple and clear way.
Field supports show their sensor data again
Supports installed directly in the field are showing their sensor data again instead of declaring themselves sensorless while they were in fact transmitting, and a newly installed device now says so clearly, with the expected timing of the first transmission and the bench-test battery flagged as such.
A bigger site map and a way back to the opening view
The map in the Location card now grows with the width of the card instead of staying a low, fixed strip, the zoom controls and the embed button no longer cover one another, and a new «Back to the site» command returns the view to exactly where it opened.
A wetlands legend and forest data up to 2025
The wetlands layer finally has a legend that names all eleven of its classes, tree cover loss is read by year instead of through a percentage scale that never belonged to it, and the forest and water datasets move up to the most recent release. On top of that: the sources listed under the map layers have been corrected, the Report data panel opens with every group already expanded, the SIM check only starts when you ask for it, and requests sent through the contact forms no longer get lost along the way.
Map controls in a single bar, plus a Filters panel
The Monitoring map's controls are no longer scattered across all four corners: the year, a wide centred search field, the view switch and a new "Filters" button now sit on a single row, with a panel that gathers the site filter, stakeholders and KPI layers. Also: pins no longer all turn grey because of an interrupted request, monitored and adopted hives become two separate figures, comments are back in the risks overview, and the land use texts are easier to read.
Land cover colours and camera-trap videos
Land cover gains a colour picker whose suggestions are always distinguishable from the other categories, and the camera-trap gallery finally shows the video clips alongside the photos. Plus: an adjustable height for the Overview cover, search fields that accept whole words, a per-species breakdown on the nectar card too, and a more compact cookie banner.
Land cover polygons and files in the WebGIS
The land-use editor gains a polygon tool that fills a whole area with the cover you picked, and the WebGIS panel gains a Files tab listing everything you have uploaded. Plus: NDVI in the scenarios table, a connectivity check for sensors straight from the census, bold and italic in your storytelling copy, and a long list of counters that finally agree with each other on the Overview.
Draw in the WebGIS, and a free map while you edit
In the WebGIS you can finally draw points, lines and polygons straight inside the platform, and the colours you give your layers are kept. In the manual land-use editor the map can be panned and zoomed while you paint, with an opacity slider of its own, and every tooltip on the Risks and Opportunities page has been rewritten and checked one by one.
Regenerate an already monitored site, and a slimmer Report Builder
In the Regeneration section you can now start a regeneration on a site you already have under monitoring, recognising it from the satellite preview of its perimeter. In the Report Builder the area above the document shrinks to a single bar, the data labels are readable again, and sensor data loads far more reliably.
Isolate a land-use class with a single click
In the land-use history the "Stacked" view becomes clickable: pick a class on the map or from the legend and the platform isolates it over the satellite image, with its name, percentage and hectares. As you scroll through the versions the class stays selected and, where it was not there, the platform tells you instead of leaving you with an empty map.
Visual land-use history and a new brush editor
The Land use map gains a visual history that compares every version of the territory, on a satellite background and with a legend of the classes. The manual editor is reworked with a brush and an eraser, undo and redo, a name picker you can finally search, and a number of readability fixes.
Reworked Regeneration site detail, now on mobile too
The first section of a Regeneration site detail has been redesigned with a Location card carrying municipality, region, country and coordinates, and the same page finally opens on a phone as well. In Monitoring, map legends no longer present the mean as if it were the maximum, and the heat-island matrix explains when data is unavailable instead of disappearing.
Regenerated biodiversity and a month filter in the gallery
The Overview gains a new indicator measuring the hectares of regenerated biodiversity, the Regeneration gallery gets a month filter, and the pin popup now also shows bio-lakes and shelters. Species counts are aligned across the whole platform, satellite maps stay put even at maximum zoom, and a number of reading details have been polished.
Card reordering and a project video per language
Impact cards and stories in the Overview can now be reordered by dragging them, with arrows or in chronological order, and the project video can have a different version for each of the five languages. Result sharing, map legends, reporting-standard texts and several Regeneration, Monitoring and sign-in details have been improved too.
New Plates to compose maps and data
The new Compose mode arrives in the Plates section: place your site's maps, charts and indicators on a real-format sheet, start from a ready-made layout, let everything save itself and download the result as PDF, PNG or JPG. The Census now always opens on the most recent survey, the Overview gains a new card on planted species, and several map, sharing and download details have been polished.
Reports saved on the server and new project maps
Reports now save themselves on the server, with a version history, new gallery blocks and more expressive weather charts. The Overview gains redesigned territory and supporter maps, an editable project timeline and the plant breakdown in Regeneration.
Site report on every plan and richer reports
The site report becomes available on all plans and gains new vegetation maps, climate indicators and more customization options, with more accurate data. Storytelling on smartphones, the planting labels in the Overview and the noise station in the Census also improve.
A renewed gallery and new Regeneration tools
A new generation of tools arrives for Regeneration alongside a completely renewed media gallery, gathering all your content in a single space with one-click download of every image in a handy ZIP file. The plant adoption experience also improves, while Land Use becomes more reliable and Storytelling gains new sharing tools.
Project storytelling and a Census import template
Project Storytelling arrives, letting you tell the story of your territory with chapters, maps and videos, plus a handy edit mode. In the Census a downloadable import template debuts, while the nectar cards, the air-and-noise charts and the wildlife carousel on mobile all improve.
Cleaner territory map and clearer sensor selection
The Overview's territory map becomes cleaner and the device counts return in the detail, while in the Census selecting sensors is more immediate. The historical date gallery is available again, monthly map generation improves, and clearer warnings arrive in Land Use, along with more understandable KPI tooltips.
Risk radar aligned to the year and a more precise gallery
The radar that shows the risk trend over time now follows the year chosen in the toolbar, and in the Gallery the plant quick-tags stay in the right context.
Revamped air and noise charts and owners in the Cadastre
The air and noise quality charts gain insights, per-pollutant help, and a year-over-year comparison. In the Cadastre, owners now persist between sessions and are included in the export, with the data source reorganized.
Hourly pollinator calendar and Cadastre owners
The pollinator activity calendar gains a switchable day/hour view, a per-cell detail, and a three-mode toggle for bursts. Owner information arrives in the Cadastre, along with some fixes to the map and the date picker.
AI reports for everyone and a mobile-friendlier builder
AI-assisted report generation is now open to everyone and the Report Builder is more comfortable on smartphones. There's a new hourly download for pollinators, an adopted-sites indicator in the Overview, and fixes to the Carbon Stock.
Draw your site during onboarding and a credits banner
The public Report Builder onboarding now lets you draw your site on the map, and a new banner always shows your credit balance and estimated cost. The Nature & Climate flow, the risks section and Google sign-in have also been improved.
Redesigned public Report Builder and interactive Cadastre
The public Report Builder page gets a new look with a guided tour and export to Word and PowerPoint, while a new interactive Cadastre layer arrives on the map. The Overview and the management of the monitoring period have been improved too.
Fire Risk block for reports and clean PDF maps
The report generator gains a new block with the fire-risk map and captures maps in the PDF only when they are fully loaded, for consistently crisp documents.
More reliable reports: Word export, tables, and maps
We have consolidated the report generator: Word export is more solid, the dynamic values in tables and KPI rows are filled correctly, maps load without hiccups, and the template gallery welcomes you better when it is still empty.
Reports exportable to Word and a clearer Overview
From today you can export reports to Word, choose the site from a new selector, and generate missing data straight from the report; the Overview, the air-quality charts, and the Monitoring labels also improve.
New tutorials for the Census world
The How-To section gains four new video tutorials dedicated to the Census world: exploring the data, reading the summary, uploading information, and filtering it to find what you need right away.
New video tutorials and a report template gallery
The new How-To section makes its debut with short video tutorials to help you learn the platform, while the Report Builder now welcomes you with a template gallery and a guided choice. On top of that come the sensor GPS track on the Census map, more readable sensor popups, a guided sign-up for new users, search inside the site overview lists, and more reliable site pages.
Richer reports and legal limits on the air
The Report Builder gains new tables that fill in from the site's data and descriptive texts generated by artificial intelligence that adapt to each site. On the air-quality chart you can now show the legal-limit lines, while several fixes make the map, the calendar and the sensor list more reliable.
Environmental stations and the new Biolago element
New air-quality and noise stations among the sensors, the new Biolago element on the map and in the regeneration impact, period selectors for the Birdy and Spectrum sensors, the connection of the platform to AI assistants and more accurate camera-trap counts.
Crop labels aligned on imported maps
When you import a map with multiple crops, the point labels now line up correctly even when nearby points are spread apart to keep them readable.
Map filters always fully visible
We fixed the position of the fixed filters on the Monitoring map, which now always stay fully visible just below the notices bar, with no overlaps.
Public report template and a tidier map
A public, demo version of the Report Builder makes its debut, the Nature & Climate template you can explore without logging in. We also hid the editing commands on read-only shared sites, on top of renewing the map toolbar and refining the shared sites. In the Report Builder you can now choose templates valid for the whole platform or for a single site, with the library reorganized into groups.
Sites shared between companies and reports in more languages
From today you can view read-only the sites that other companies share with you, filter the map between all sites and your own, and generate reports in French, German and Spanish too. We have also made the pollinator activity variation clearer and polished several details in Census and Overview.
More reliable page loading and WebGIS geoprocessing
We have made opening the platform pages more reliable, so they no longer get stuck on a 'page not found' message after a temporary glitch, and we have made the WebGIS geoprocessing operations more solid, so they consistently update the existing layer.
Perimeter being generated and clearer crop editor
When you create a new site by uploading a file, the map now clearly shows the processing status while the perimeter is being generated. The crop assignment editor also becomes more readable thanks to a header that always stays visible at the top of the list.
Carbon stock map more stable
We have fixed an issue that, in some particular cases, could interrupt the loading of the page when the carbon stock layer was enabled on the map. Now the map and all the site information always stay stable and consultable.
Period filter on the charts and a richer report builder
A period filter arrives on the Vegetation Health (NDVI) and surface temperature (LST) charts, along with new tools in the report builder, including image resizing, underlined text and an optional title for maps. The PDF export of reports, the clarity of the weather and climate charts, the reliability of the map and its layers and the button labels in the Regeneration section all improve too.
Multi-crop land use and a tidier census
Multi-crop assignment arrives in the land-use editor, with file import in several formats, automatic crop matching and AI suggestions, while the Census groups consecutive sessions of the same species. The accuracy of the land-use map, the Metrics tabs, the Census counts, monitoring performance and the editor interface all improve too.
New temperature chart and CSV export of data
A new chart of land surface temperature over time and the CSV export of vegetation and temperature data arrive, together with a banner that flags what's new in monitoring. The report AI Text, the aggregated view for sites with many parcels, the gauge chart labels and the visibility of land-use layers for public visitors all improve too.
GeoPackage upload for new sites and gallery filters
You can create sites by uploading GeoPackage and GeoJSON files and merge several areas into one, while a redesigned transect editor, land-use classification versions and a legend on pollinator activity arrive. Gallery filters, a report cover image, a more polished layer picker and a clearer risks section are also added.
Unified sensor cards and a field journal for transects
The sensor cards on the map are now unified and the markers clearer, transects gain a true field journal with photos and notes, while tidier map controls, device battery status, area-file uploads up to 64 MB and better-paginated report tables also arrive.
New mount markers on the map
The monitoring mount markers on the map have a new capsule shape and directly show the sensor state and the target species, so you can check the monitoring network at a glance.
Transect area calculation in Field Mode
Field Mode now automatically calculates the surface area of transects, checks the connection before the most delicate actions and introduces clearer confirmation panels with notices when you are offline.
Time-of-day window in charts and a text editor in reports
You can filter data by time of day and compare several trends together, while the report generator adds a visual text editor; we also fix the API usage count, the grids on Firefox and scrolling on the monitoring page.
Self-service API keys and place search on the map
You can manage your API keys yourself from the settings, search for places and coordinates on the map, download the census charts and use a new layer on agricultural land use, while reports, the observations gallery and navigation between sites become more solid.
Placeholder blocks in reports and a link to the guide
The report generator introduces placeholder blocks that fill themselves in with site data, a button arrives to open the documentation from the site toolbar, and the polygon editor becomes smoother and more precise.
Assign multiple species to the same observation
You can now assign multiple species to the same observation and request a new mount directly from the sensors map, while the Updates page is enriched with images and the installed app opens straight onto your area.
Offline Field Mode and bird-listening verification
Field Mode works offline and installs on your smartphone, the bird acoustic verifier arrives, photos and videos with one tap from the map, the data plan usage widget, self-service sensor connection and several fixes.

Field Mode debuts for smartphone surveys, map notes welcome photos and attachments, the filter for observations still to classify arrives and charts and methodologies become clearer and more transparent.
Sensor battery status and georeferenced map notes
Every sensor now shows battery, last transmission and last data received, georeferenced notes arrive on the site map and the risk analysis becomes deeper with per-process sensitivity.
Report builder with ready-to-use templates
The report builder gains ready-to-use templates and real data, the embeddable indicators widget no longer shows empty boxes, the overview impact indicators always load and the risk legends become clearer.
Multilingual mobile profile and more stable biodiversity map
The Batty bat sensor arrives, along with perimeter editing from the census map and a more complete sensors list, together with fixes to the mobile profile, the biodiversity map, the impact values and the public pages.
New map layers and clearer weather data
We added new layers to the map, improved the order in which they are shown, made the weather figures cleaner, fixed the hourly pollinator heatmap and introduced company SSO sign-in.
Recovery codes and sub-polygon selection from the map
We introduced the management of recovery codes for two-step verification, selecting sub-polygons with a click on the map, the precipitation percentage in the sites table, and a calmer experience while generating reports.
Fixes to carbon stock, acoustic sensors and census
We made the carbon-stock KPI consistent on sub-polygons, added an easy way to exit the Pixel Inspector, and sped up the activity data of acoustic sensors.
More intuitive area selection and renewal fixes
We made selecting areas on the map smoother, improved the two-step verification experience, fixed reading of sensor data, and kept the census filters always visible.
Time series and area sampling on the map
We enriched the Pixel Inspector with an over-time trend chart for each point, added sampling of entire areas on the map and custom period averages, along with several refinements.
Pixel Inspector and new period panels on maps
We introduced the new panels to choose periods and ranges on the maps, the Pixel Inspector tool to read point values, cleaner layer thumbnails, and the ability to embed any layer.
New map toolbar and time-based gallery
We redesigned the map toolbar, made the layer picker smarter, added the time gallery for multi-date maps, and improved the census, post-purchase onboarding, and the filters on site progress.
New WebGIS flow to apply maps and polygons to your site
A day full of news: the new WebGIS flow to apply maps and polygons to sites, the guided procedure for land-class colors, clearer messages about available features, and new options in the site settings.
Two-step verification by email and polygons from the map
We introduced two-step verification via email, a new button to create polygons directly from the site map, and improved the activation flow and guided steps.
Clearer Land Use section and fixed WebGIS menu
We tidied up the Land Use section by hiding unnecessary panels and labels, and fixed a duplicated entry in the Monitoring sidebar.
