+We are making it easier to identify and navigate multi-entity companies in the Codat Portal.

+
+## What's new?
+
+On **February 25, 2026**, we are changing how multi-entity companies are displayed in the [Codat Portal](https://app.codat.io). The new hierarchical company table structure makes it easier to identify, navigate, and manage complex entities.
+
+![Improved Company table interface](/img/updates/260217-company-table.gif)
+
+We are introducing the following improvements:
+
+- Parent–child hierarchy view enables users to quickly identify the parent company and expand the view to see its subsidiaries. 
+- Enhanced search functionality allows users to search by the parent or child company name. 
+- New triple-dot menu contains company management options, such as editing and deletion.
+- Connected software list is displayed when hovering over a company's connection status.
+- Parent deletion confirmation ensures it's no longer possible to accidentally delete a parent company.
+- New set of connection statuses helps determine a company's state at a glance:
+    
+    - **No connections:** The company hasn't yet attempted to connect their financial software.
+    - **Linked:** The company has successfully connected their financial software.
+    - **Pending:** The company has started, but not completed connecting their financial software.
+    - **Deauthorized:** The company has revoked your access, or the access expired. The company needs to be reconnected.
+    - **Unlinked:** You have unlinked this company's connection, and data sharing stopped as a result.
+    - **Partial:** The parent company has subsidiaries that are disconnected.
+
+These improvements apply to all Portal views that use the company structure, such as **Companies** and **Spend Insights**.
+
+## Who is this relevant for?
+
+This improvement benefits all of our customers, but is especially critical for enterprise clients managing complex, high-volume multi-entity structures.
+
+## How to get started?
+
+No action is required to benefit from this update. You will see these improvements in the [Codat Portal](https://app.codat.io) from **February 25, 2026**.
