What's New In Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® — June 23, 2026

Colleen Gutierrez

Here are the latest changes in Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT for June 23, 2026.

The following feature is generally available to all geographies!

Centralized access and navigation for Online data review

Online data review is now organized under Data management in the left navigation, improving discoverability.

Access is now tied to a new Data management role (replacing the fundraising role), with no changes to existing permissions or required user action on your part.

The following feature updates are available for those with Development Agent:

Gain more control and insight with Development Agent updates

Development Agent updates now give you more control over how outreach is managed and delivered as well as new insight into your agent's performance:

• When regenerating a message, choose whether feedback applies only to the current message or to future messages generated by the agent.
• Emails and text messages are now delivered during more appropriate timeframes to better align with expected communication practices and SMS guidelines.
• Remove communications from engagement lists without closing associated actions, helping keep lists clean while supporting data retention needs.
• Use the new Development Agent dashboard to quickly review engagement activity and key performance insights.

ℹ️ Development Agent is currently available as a separate purchase in the US. Learn more here.

Regarding the new Data Management Role, can you please clarify if there is a way in Security settings to provide someone access to Online Data Review for Events, but not for Gifts? We have some staff who handle event registration forms, and other staff who handle gifts. All of our event registration forms are $0 registration fees, so there are no financial transactions with the event registrations. I assigned an event staff member the Data Management role in User Management, but they can now see and edit online data review related to gifts, as well as event registration forms.

Heather, from what I know and have heard from the BB Product Managers, this can't currently be done but they know it's needed. They've said in public events that they know this is a need but rather than perfecting this and further delaying Online Data Review for events, they released it as it is now with plans to perfect it further over time. My belief is that today's change to moving it out of Gifts and into Data Management is a step in that direction, so hopefully what you're asking for is not far behind. But I'm not in charge, I only attend a lot of BB events, so don't quote me. ;)

@Bill Connors thank you for clarifying!
