Roadmap
The GOV.UK Notify roadmap shows what we’re working on and some of the things we’ve done.
The roadmap is only a guide. It does not cover everything we do, and some things may change.
You can contact us if you have any questions about the roadmap or suggestions for new features.

Things we’ve done
Improved email branding
When a service team needs to update their email branding, they can now:
- choose new branding from a set of existing options
- preview their branding on the Notify website
Made sending files by email more secure
To protect files sent by email, service teams can now:
- ask recipients to enter their email address before they can download a file
- choose the length of time that a file is available to download
Pair writing with service teams
We wrote a blog post about this work, called ‘how rewriting text messages can help services to save money’.
