We\u2019re pleased to announce that the January 2026 Beta of ArcGIS Survey123 is now ready for you to download, explore, and test with your workflows. This is a major milestone in our next generation effort: the Survey123 Field app and Survey123 Connect have been rebuilt from the ground up, giving us the chance to modernize the experience while focusing on the features you rely on most. There are also several important improvements to the Survey123 Web Designer that are now available for you to try as part of the beta test.<\/p>\n

This is your opportunity to explore what\u2019s new, test early features, and help shape the future of Survey123.<\/p>\n

Why Your Feedback Matters<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The next-generation Survey123 Field app and Survey123 Connect have been completely rebuilt from the ground up.<\/a> While some features from the 3.x version are still on the way, we\u2019ve focused on delivering the most essential capabilities that field crews and survey authors rely on every day\u2014with even more improvements planned. That\u2019s why your participation in testing is so valuable right now. Put the beta to work in your real-world workflows, let us know what works well and where you encounter challenges, and help us shape the future of this next-generation Survey123.
\nJoin the beta!<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s New in the January Beta?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tabular Repeat Appearance \u2013 Try it for yourself<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the most-requested features from Survey123 users is finally here: tabular repeats. Instead of flipping through long, nested repeat sections, you can now work with related records in a clean, spreadsheet\u2011like table that\u2019s fast to scan and easy to edit. When you need more detail, simply open a row in full form view<\/p>\n
