Docs + In-App Highlights

Latest Release Highlights

Current feature guides with previous release highlights kept for reference

This page mirrors the curated in-app Latest Features experience for SimpleChat v0.261.001, keeps the v0.250.001 feature set in Previous Release, and preserves v0.239.001-v0.241.007 highlights in the archive below it.

Admin Setup and User View

Admins control whether Latest Features are visible from the Support menu and can choose which current-release cards are shared with end users. Turn the destination on with Enable Latest Features Destination under Admin Settings > Help > Support Menu, then review the cards end users will see under Admin Settings > Help > User-Facing Latest Features.

Annotated Admin Settings screenshot showing Support menu and user-facing Latest Features controls.

Users see the curated set from Support > Latest Features. The guides below use the same screenshots as the in-app gallery. Two tiers are published here: the user-facing v0.261.001 set, and an admin-managed set covering the tenant controls behind those capabilities. The v0.250.001 and archive guides remain available below.

Current release

SimpleChat 0.261.001 Latest Features

Everything released after v0.250.001, consolidated into the SimpleChat 0.261.001 feature set your admins are currently sharing with end users.

Current release
Current release
Upload a Document With Figures screenshot placeholder

Sharper Document Extraction with Figure Descriptions

Enhanced extraction now reads charts, diagrams, and figures inside your documents and writes searchable descriptions of them, so answers can draw on pictures instead of skipping past them.

Why It Matters

This matters because a large share of the meaning in reports, decks, and scanned documents lives in pictures, and until now that content was effectively invisible to search.

Current release
Upload a Deck With Diagrams screenshot placeholder

Pictures Inside Word and PowerPoint Are Now Searchable

Images embedded in Word and PowerPoint files, including SmartArt, Visio drawings, and chart graphics, are now analyzed and cited with the correct page or slide.

Why It Matters

This matters because architecture diagrams, org charts, and process flows are often the whole point of a deck, and citations now point at the slide those visuals actually live on.

Current release
Stepped Workflow Builder screenshot placeholder

Multi-Step Workflows With Alert Rules

Workflows can now run an ordered sequence of tasks, each with its own model, agent, and documents, and can notify you through configurable alert rules instead of a single priority setting.

Why It Matters

This matters because real work is rarely one prompt, and chaining steps with targeted notifications turns a workflow into something you can trust to run unattended.

Current release
Choose an MCP Preset screenshot placeholder

Model Context Protocol Connections

SimpleChat can now act as a governed MCP server for approved external clients, and outbound MCP actions gained presets, preconfigured catalogs, and a Test Connection button.

Why It Matters

This matters because it lets SimpleChat participate in the wider tool ecosystem your organization already uses, without every team hand-rolling its own integration.

Current release
Configure the Yamcs Action screenshot placeholder

Yamcs Mission Control Integration

A new Yamcs action type connects agents to Yamcs mission control servers with eleven read-only tools covering telemetry, parameters, events, packets, alarms, and archive queries.

Why It Matters

This matters because mission operators can ask plain-language questions about telemetry and alarms instead of hand-writing queries against the archive.

Current release
Configure the RocksDB Action screenshot placeholder

RocksDB Key-Value Store Action

A new RocksDB action type lets agents read from an ordered key-value store through a conforming HTTP and JSON service, with get, scan, and stats tools.

Why It Matters

This matters because ordered key-value data is common in telemetry and logging systems, and agents can now query it directly instead of asking a person to run a lookup.

Current release
Actions and Knowledge Come First screenshot placeholder

Reference Actions and Knowledge Directly in Agent Instructions

Agent instructions can now name the exact actions and documents an agent holds using autocompleted hash-action and hash-knowledge tokens, and the agent builder reorders its steps so instructions come last.

Why It Matters

This matters because vague instructions are the most common reason an agent ignores a tool you gave it, and naming the capability directly removes that guesswork.

Current release
Test Connection Button screenshot placeholder

Test Connection Before You Save an Action

Test Connection is now available across twelve action types, verifying credentials and reachability without making you re-enter stored secrets.

Why It Matters

This matters because a broken action used to surface as a confusing failure mid-conversation, and now you find out at setup time with a message that tells you what to fix.

Current release
Add a Blob Storage Source screenshot placeholder

Sync Documents From Azure Blob Storage

Azure Blob Storage containers can now be used as File Sync sources for personal, group, and public workspaces, with folder browsing and change detection.

Why It Matters

This matters because a lot of organizational content already lives in blob containers, and syncing it keeps workspace documents current without manual re-uploads.

Current release
Acceptance Screen screenshot placeholder

Terms of Use Acceptance

Your organization can require you to accept a terms of use or rules of behavior notice before using SimpleChat, with the reminder repeating on a schedule your admins choose.

Why It Matters

This matters because many organizations must record that users acknowledged acceptable-use rules before working with an AI assistant.

Current release
Upload a Recording screenshot placeholder

Upload Almost Any Audio File

Audio uploads now cover a much wider set of formats including AAC, FLAC, M4A, OGG, Opus, WAV, WebM audio, and WMA.

Why It Matters

This matters because meeting recordings and voice memos arrive in whatever format the recording device produced, and converting them by hand first was a real obstacle.

Current release
Notification Preferences screenshot placeholder

Know When a Long Answer Finishes

You can opt in to a sound when a response completes, a desktop notification when the answer lands in a tab you are not looking at, or both.

Why It Matters

This matters because long research answers are worth stepping away from, and there was previously no way to know the response had arrived.

Current release
Notice Under the Composer screenshot placeholder

AI Usage Guidance in Chat

Your organization can display its own AI guidance directly under the chat composer, with control over how often it reappears.

Why It Matters

This matters because AI usage rules differ by organization, and the reminder is most useful sitting right where you type rather than buried in a policy document.

Current release
Context Citation on a Response screenshot placeholder

See Exactly What Shaped Each Answer

Every response now carries a Conversation Context citation showing the model, app version, workspace scope, selected documents, agent, and capabilities that were active when it was written.

Why It Matters

This matters because when an answer surprises you, the first question is usually which model and which documents were actually in play, and now that is one click away.

Current release
Used Documents Pane screenshot placeholder

Used Documents View and Conversation Forking

A Used Documents mode shows only the documents actually cited in a conversation, and you can fork a conversation from any response to explore a different direction.

Why It Matters

This matters because long conversations accumulate a lot of context, and both knowing what was actually used and being able to branch without losing the thread are hard problems otherwise.

Current release
Contents Drawer screenshot placeholder

Jump Back to Any Earlier Prompt

A contents drawer indexes the questions you asked in a conversation so you can jump straight back to any of them instead of scrolling.

Why It Matters

This matters because a long working session becomes hard to navigate, and the thing you want to return to is almost always a question you already asked.

Current release
Font Size Preference screenshot placeholder

Choose Your Text Size

Five font size choices ranging from 75 percent to 200 percent are available on your profile, and the interface stays usable at 200 percent browser zoom.

Why It Matters

This matters because readable text is an accessibility requirement, not a preference, and layouts that break under zoom effectively lock people out.

Current release
Message Actions screenshot placeholder

Download a Response as Audio

Any completed chat message can be exported as an MP3 using the configured speech voice and speed.

Why It Matters

This matters because a long answer is sometimes easier to absorb on a commute than on a screen.

Current release
Set the End-User Label screenshot placeholder

Public Workspace Can Carry Your Own Name

Your organization can rename the Public Workspace to something meaningful such as Domain Knowledge, and the new name appears everywhere in the interface.

Why It Matters

This matters because shared knowledge collections usually already have a name inside your organization, and matching it removes a translation step for everyone.

Current release
Read While It Streams screenshot placeholder

Chat Stops Yanking You to the Bottom

The conversation no longer jumps to the bottom while you are reading further up, and a floating control takes you to the newest content when you want it.

Why It Matters

This matters because losing your place mid-paragraph while an answer is still streaming makes long responses genuinely hard to read.

Current release
Per-Task Runner and Documents screenshot placeholder

Stop a Running Workflow, and Give Each Task Its Own Model

You can cancel a workflow while it is still running, and every task in a workflow can use its own model or agent and its own documents.

Why It Matters

This matters because a long workflow that is clearly going wrong no longer has to run to the end, and a multi-step workflow can use a fast model for early steps and a stronger one only where it counts.

Current release
Alert Rules Editor screenshot placeholder

Workflow Alerts That Only Fire When They Should

Instead of notifying you on every run, a workflow now defines rules that describe why it should interrupt you, and a run that matches nothing stays completely silent.

Why It Matters

This matters because a workflow that notifies you on every single run gets ignored, which defeats the point of running it unattended.

Current release
Agent Sources Listed screenshot placeholder

Agent Document Searches Now Produce Real Citations

Documents an agent finds through its document search action are now recorded as proper document sources instead of appearing only as a raw tool call.

Why It Matters

This matters because an agent could previously read a dozen documents to answer you and none of them would show up as a source you could actually open and check.

Current release
Full Sources List screenshot placeholder

See Which Sources Were Actually Used

Everything retrieved still appears under Sources, while Used documents now follows only what the answer actually cited.

Why It Matters

This matters because a search that returns sixty chunks used to make it impossible to tell which three actually shaped the answer you are reading.

Current release
Indirect Follow-Up screenshot placeholder

Refer Back to a File You Already Talked About

A follow-up question can say "that XML file" or "the same spreadsheet" and SimpleChat works out which source you mean.

Why It Matters

This matters because natural follow-ups are how people actually talk, and reselecting the same document on every single turn is needless friction.

Current release
Request Structured Output screenshot placeholder

Get Answers Back as JSON or XML Files

Requests that produce JSON or XML are saved as downloadable artifacts instead of dumping file-shaped content into the middle of a reply.

Why It Matters

This matters because a thousand-line JSON payload pasted into a chat bubble is not something you can actually use.

Current release
Document With Equations screenshot placeholder

Mathematical Formulas Captured as LaTeX

Equations in PDFs and images can be captured as LaTeX instead of being approximated as ordinary OCR text.

Why It Matters

This matters because an equation flattened into plain OCR text is usually wrong in a way that is easy to miss and hard to correct later.

Current release
Search by File Name screenshot placeholder

Find a Document by Its File Name

The document picker now matches file names, not just document titles, so a file is findable by what it is actually called.

Why It Matters

This matters because any document with extracted title metadata used to be completely unfindable by its own file name.

Current release
Multi-Select Documents screenshot placeholder

Extract Metadata for Many Documents at Once

The workspace multi-select bar now includes Extract Metadata, so a whole batch of documents can be enriched in one action.

Why It Matters

This matters because running metadata extraction one document at a time does not scale past a handful of files.

Current release
Shared File Approval screenshot placeholder

Shared Conversations: File Approvals and Faster Mentions

Files shared into a conversation now go through an approval step, and pressing Tab completes an @ mention.

Why It Matters

This matters because shared conversations only work when everyone can see what has been contributed and can bring the right person in quickly.

Admin controls

Admin-Managed Latest Features

The newest capabilities admins can manage from Admin Settings. These cards focus on tenant controls, governance, and rollout guidance for the v0.261.001 feature set.

Admin release
Admin release
Enterprise Data Management: Backup, Restore & Migration screenshot placeholder

Enterprise Data Management: Backup, Restore & Migration

Admins can run durable backup, restore, migration, and inspection workflows from the refreshed Backup, Migrate & Restore experience.

Why It Matters

This matters because tenant data operations can be planned, audited, resumed, and recovered without relying on one-off scripts.

Admin release
Key Vault Secret Expiration Reminders screenshot placeholder

Key Vault Secret Expiration Reminders

Admins can track action secret expirations and route reminder signals before Key Vault-backed integrations break.

Why It Matters

This matters because expiring integration secrets become visible operational work instead of surprise outages.

Admin release
Governance Policy Block Lists & Admin Policy Tools screenshot placeholder

Governance Policy Block Lists & Admin Policy Tools

Admins can explicitly block users or groups and manage policies faster with duplicate, inverse, and principal review tools.

Why It Matters

This matters because exception handling and access reviews are easier to enforce across models, agents, actions, and delegated items.

Admin release
Model Endpoint User Identity Header for APIM screenshot placeholder

Model Endpoint User Identity Header for APIM

Admins can send stable hashed user identity headers with model endpoint calls for APIM routing, quota, and attribution scenarios.

Why It Matters

This matters because APIM policies can enforce per-user quotas and cost attribution without leaking direct user identifiers.

Admin release
Per-Model Output Token Ceilings screenshot placeholder

Per-Model Output Token Ceilings

Admins can set optional output-token ceilings per global model endpoint instead of relying on one tenant-wide response limit.

Why It Matters

This matters because administrators can balance cost, latency, and answer depth independently for each deployed model.

Admin release
Scheduled Overnight Control Center Refresh screenshot placeholder

Scheduled Overnight Control Center Refresh

Admins can keep Control Center statistics fresh with a daily overnight refresh that is enabled by default.

Why It Matters

This matters because operational dashboards are ready at the start of the day without manual refresh work.

Admin release

Feedback & Safety Violation Archive / Delete Lifecycle

Admins can archive, restore, or permanently delete feedback and safety records with audit-aware controls.

Why It Matters

This matters because moderation and feedback queues can be retained, cleaned up, and audited with clearer lifecycle rules.

Admin release
File Processing Log Cleanup screenshot placeholder

File Processing Log Cleanup

Admins can remove old file-processing logs by retention window or purge all logs with confirmation and activity logging.

Why It Matters

This matters because log growth can be controlled while preserving deliberate confirmation and auditability for destructive cleanup.

Admin release
Redis Explorer & Cache Observability Dashboard screenshot placeholder

Redis Explorer & Cache Observability Dashboard

Admins can inspect Redis safely and monitor conversation and DAI cache behavior from Scale settings.

Why It Matters

This matters because cache performance and cache safety can be observed without exposing sensitive values or using direct Redis tooling.

Admin release

Auto-Login on Home Page (Entra SSO)

Admins can opt in to redirect unauthenticated home-page visits directly into Microsoft Entra sign-in.

Why It Matters

This matters because SSO-first tenants can reduce landing-page friction while keeping the behavior explicit and opt-in.

Admin release
Enabling Azure AI Content Understanding Extraction screenshot placeholder

Enabling Azure AI Content Understanding Extraction

Admins can enable Enhanced extraction with Azure AI Content Understanding so users receive richer document and figure understanding.

Why It Matters

This matters because admins can improve retrieval quality for visual documents while preserving controlled fallback visibility.

Admin release
MCP Server Governance & Outbound Action Controls screenshot placeholder

MCP Server Governance & Outbound Action Controls

Admins can govern inbound MCP server exposure and outbound MCP action destinations before users connect external tools.

Why It Matters

This matters because admins can unlock MCP interoperability while controlling destinations, observability, and supported tool surfaces.

Admin release
Azure Blob Storage File Sync Configuration screenshot placeholder

Azure Blob Storage File Sync Configuration

Admins can configure Azure Blob Storage containers as File Sync sources for personal, group, and public workspaces.

Why It Matters

This matters because admins can connect governed storage sources without forcing users to manually upload every file.

Admin release
Terms of Use / Rules of Behavior Gate screenshot placeholder

Terms of Use / Rules of Behavior Gate

Admins can require users to accept tenant terms or rules of behavior before accessing SimpleChat.

Why It Matters

This matters because tenant access expectations can be acknowledged consistently and recorded before users interact with AI features.

Admin release
Configuring the Chat AI Usage Notice screenshot placeholder

Configuring the Chat AI Usage Notice

Admins can publish custom Markdown AI guidance directly below the chat composer.

Why It Matters

This matters because AI usage guidance can be kept visible at the point of use without custom template changes.

Admin release
Custom Public Workspace Display Name screenshot placeholder

Custom Public Workspace Display Name

Admins can rename the Public Workspace label to a tenant-specific display name without changing internal identifiers.

Why It Matters

This matters because admins can align shared knowledge areas with organizational terminology without data migration.

Admin release
Document Access Index for Faster Workspace Reads screenshot placeholder

Document Access Index for Faster Workspace Reads

Admins can serve workspace document lists from a companion index partitioned by access scope instead of querying the source containers across every partition.

Why It Matters

This matters because document list performance is dominated by a partitioning mismatch, and this addresses the cause rather than adding more throughput on top of it.

Admin release
Cosmos Maintenance and Throughput Guardrails screenshot placeholder

Cosmos Maintenance and Throughput Guardrails

Admins can apply missing Cosmos indexes, rebuild caches, and let SimpleChat scale throughput within explicit guardrails.

Why It Matters

This matters because index and capacity changes are exactly the operations that should be deliberate, reversible, and bounded rather than automatic and silent.

Archive Previous Release Features The v0.250.001 feature set remains available for reference after the v0.260.001 feature set became current. v0.250.001 Show highlights
Previous release
Personalized Model and Agent Access screenshot placeholder

Personalized Model and Agent Access

Model and agent access can now be assigned to specific users or groups, so different people can see the AI capabilities approved for their work.

Why It Matters

This matters because teams can make powerful AI tools available to the right people without turning every model or agent on for everyone.

Previous release
Improved Tabular Analysis screenshot placeholder

Improved Tabular Analysis

Tabular analysis for CSV and Excel files can now page through larger results, preserve sheet context, use related document evidence, and create clearer chart or export outputs.

Why It Matters

This matters because spreadsheet questions often need exact calculations, filtered rows, grouped results, and reusable exports rather than a short text summary.

Previous release
Custom Pages screenshot placeholder

Custom Pages

Admins can publish trusted internal custom pages, giving users new in-app pages for local guidance, dashboards, forms, or lightweight tools.

Why It Matters

This matters because teams can tailor SimpleChat to local workflows without sending users to a separate unauthenticated site.

Previous release
Tableau Action screenshot placeholder

Tableau Action

Users with access can ask SimpleChat to discover Tableau projects, workbooks, views, datasources, and workbook details from approved Tableau environments.

Why It Matters

This matters because users can find and reason about Tableau assets without manually switching between systems for every lookup.

Previous release
Personal and Group Workflows screenshot placeholder

Personal and Group Workflows

Users can create or run personal and group workflows for repeatable document analysis, File Sync refreshes, per-document runs, and generated Office outputs.

Why It Matters

This matters because repeatable document work can move from one-off chat prompts into reusable personal or shared group automation.

Previous release
Voice-Assisted Form Inputs screenshot placeholder

Voice-Assisted Form Inputs

Speech-to-text controls now appear in supported agent, group, public workspace, document metadata, tag, and instruction fields when speech input is enabled.

Why It Matters

This matters because many setup and metadata fields are easier to draft by voice, especially longer agent instructions or document descriptions.

Previous release
Microsoft 365 Actions screenshot placeholder

Microsoft 365 Actions

Microsoft Graph actions expand M365 support so approved users can work with mail, drafts, calendar details, and calendar invites from SimpleChat.

Why It Matters

This matters because common M365 tasks can become part of an agent-assisted workflow instead of requiring manual copying between apps.

Previous release
Workspace-Backed Chat Uploads and Paste Support screenshot placeholder

Workspace-Backed Chat Uploads and Paste Support

Chat uploads now behave more like workspace uploads, and users can paste or drag files and images directly into the chat input.

Why It Matters

This matters because users no longer need to decide whether chat or workspace upload is the right path before they start working with a file.

Previous release
Enhanced Document Intelligence screenshot placeholder

Enhanced Document Intelligence

Enhanced extraction can capture richer PDF and image structure, including tables, layout, and selection marks, and users can reprocess eligible documents from workspaces.

Why It Matters

This matters because some documents need more than plain text extraction to answer accurately, especially forms, tables, scanned PDFs, and image-heavy files.

Previous release
File Sync for SMB and Azure Files screenshot placeholder

File Sync for SMB and Azure Files

File Sync can bring SMB share and Azure Files content into workspaces, with reusable identities and workflow triggers for automated refreshes.

Why It Matters

This matters because workspace documents can stay closer to authoritative file shares instead of depending on repeated manual uploads.

Previous release
Faster Conversation Lists screenshot placeholder

Faster Conversation Lists

Conversation lists now load in pages, improving startup performance for users with large chat histories.

Why It Matters

This matters because large conversation histories should not slow down everyday chat startup.

Previous release
Group File Sharing and Approvals screenshot placeholder

Group File Sharing and Approvals

Users can share personal or group documents with groups, and receiving groups can approve shared files before they become searchable.

Why It Matters

This matters because collaboration often crosses workspace boundaries, but shared documents still need review and clear ownership.

Previous release
Profile, Stats, and Preferences screenshot placeholder

Profile, Stats, and Preferences

Profile now brings together stats, groups, public workspaces, feedback, safety items, preferences, and CSV exports in a clearer experience.

Why It Matters

This matters because users can understand their own activity and manage everyday preferences without needing an admin to change global settings.

Previous release
Databricks Action screenshot placeholder

Databricks Action

Users with access can use approved Databricks actions to run governed read-only SQL against Azure Commercial Databricks workspaces.

Why It Matters

This matters because analytics data can be queried from SimpleChat without giving every user direct database tooling.

Previous release
Layered Message Masking screenshot placeholder

Layered Message Masking

Users can now apply multiple selected-text masks to the same message, including shared personal and group conversations.

Why It Matters

This matters because users can hide multiple sensitive ranges in a message without losing control over previous masks.

Previous release
Visio and Outlook MSG File Support screenshot placeholder

Visio and Outlook MSG File Support

Users can upload Visio `.vsdx` diagrams and Outlook `.msg` email files so more everyday work artifacts can become searchable knowledge.

Why It Matters

This matters because architecture diagrams, process diagrams, and email files often contain important context that should not be trapped outside workspace search.

Previous release
Assigned Knowledge for Agents screenshot placeholder

Assigned Knowledge for Agents

Agents can be bound to specific workspace sources, documents, and tags so they answer from the knowledge selected for their role.

Why It Matters

This matters because specialized agents can stay focused on the knowledge they were designed to use.

Previous release
Deep Research and Source Review screenshot placeholder

Deep Research and Source Review

Deep Research and Source Review can inspect web evidence more deeply with bounded traversal, source citation seeding, load-more support, and optional model-assisted link planning.

Why It Matters

This matters because web-grounded answers are more useful when they are based on reviewed source pages instead of snippets alone.

Previous release
URL Access in Chat screenshot placeholder

URL Access in Chat

Users can paste URLs into Chat and have SimpleChat treat them as source links or plain text depending on the workflow and admin policy.

Why It Matters

This matters because links are a natural way to bring external context into a chat, but they need bounded, policy-aware handling.

Previous release
Conversation Source Continuity screenshot placeholder

Conversation Source Continuity

Chat can now reuse document and citation context from earlier turns, reducing the need to reselect the same documents throughout a conversation.

Why It Matters

This matters because multi-turn document conversations should remember the source trail you already built instead of making you start over every prompt.

Previous release
Generated Markdown, Word, and PowerPoint Files screenshot placeholder

Generated Markdown, Word, and PowerPoint Files

Agents and workflows can now create reusable Markdown, Word, and PowerPoint outputs that users can inspect, download, or promote into workspaces.

Why It Matters

This matters because important results should become durable files when users need reports, decks, summaries, or workspace knowledge.

Previous release
Multi Inline Image Generation screenshot placeholder

Multi Inline Image Generation

Chat can now create multiple inline images from one request, and model responses can propose useful images during an answer for you to approve before generation.

Why It Matters

This matters because image creation can become part of the conversation flow without forcing users to send one image request at a time or accept unapproved generated media.

Previous release
Workspace Cards and Folder Views screenshot placeholder

Workspace Cards and Folder Views

Workspace documents can now be browsed in list, card, folder, and folder-plus-card views with improved multi-select and action behavior.

Why It Matters

This matters because large workspaces are easier to navigate when users can choose the browsing mode that fits the task.

Previous release
Assistant Follow-Up Actions screenshot placeholder

Assistant Follow-Up Actions

Assistant responses can now show suggested next-step buttons that stage the prompt and start a cancelable send countdown.

Why It Matters

This matters because useful assistant suggestions become one-click follow-up actions while users stay in control before sending.

Previous release
Model and Agent Avatars screenshot placeholder

Model and Agent Avatars

Model endpoint icons and uploaded model images now make model-only responses easier to recognize, while agent avatars remain prioritized for agent replies.

Why It Matters

This matters because visual identity helps users understand whether a response came from a selected model or an agent.

Additional highlights from v0.250.001

  • Model and agent governance, workflow automation, File Sync, document extraction, and enterprise actions defined the v0.250.001 feature set.
  • Chat productivity, workspace browsing, generated artifacts, source review, and profile improvements remain documented for teams still rolling out that release.

Archive release
Guided chat tutorial screenshot

Guided Tutorials

Step-by-step walkthroughs help users discover core chat, workspace, and onboarding flows in context instead of hunting through the interface first.

Why It Matters

The fastest way to learn a new workflow is usually inside the workflow itself, with the right controls highlighted as you go.

Archive release
Background completion notification screenshot

Background Chat

Long-running chat requests can finish after you leave the chat page, so larger prompts and uploads stop blocking the rest of your work.

Why It Matters

Long-running work no longer makes the app feel blocked while the assistant is still processing.

Archive release
User chat model selector screenshot

GPT Selection

Visible model selection helps users match a task to the right tradeoff in speed, cost, and reasoning depth when multiple options are available.

Why It Matters

Different prompts often need different tradeoffs, so a clearer picker makes model choice practical instead of hidden.

Archive release
Tabular analysis enhanced citations screenshot

Tabular Analysis

CSV and spreadsheet workflows keep getting stronger for grounded exploration, filtering, and follow-up analysis against real rows and columns.

Why It Matters

Table-heavy questions are more useful when users can explore filters and follow-ups without losing provenance.

Archive release
Conversation history citation replay screenshot

Citation Improvements

Enhanced citations improve source traceability, document previews, and history-aware grounding so users can inspect where answers came from.

Why It Matters

Traceable answers are easier to trust, revisit, and defend in follow-up conversations.

Archive release
Document revision workspace screenshot

Document Versioning

Same-name uploads now behave like revisions, making it easier to keep document history visible instead of silently replacing useful versions.

Why It Matters

Revision-aware documents keep history available when teams need to compare or verify what changed.

Archive release
Conversation summary card screenshot

Summaries and Export

Conversation summaries and export actions keep expanding so users can package, review, and share useful chat outcomes more quickly.

Why It Matters

People reuse chat outcomes faster when they can summarize and package them for someone else without manual cleanup.

Archive release
Agent and action grid view screenshot

Agent Operations

Agent creation, organization, and operational controls keep getting smoother for teams that rely on more advanced agent and action scenarios.

Why It Matters

Advanced agent setups are easier to adopt when browsing, defaults, and validation are clearer.

Archive release
Processing thoughts visibility screenshot

AI Transparency

Thought and reasoning transparency options give users clearer feedback about what the assistant is doing while a response is being prepared.

Why It Matters

Visible processing cues reduce uncertainty while the system is working and make delays easier to interpret.

Archive release
Profile fact memory section screenshot

Fact Memory

Profile-based memory now separates durable Instructions from recall-only Facts so the assistant can carry preferences and relevant context more cleanly.

Why It Matters

Separating durable preferences from recall-only facts keeps memory more relevant and less noisy over time.

Archive release
Deployment startup guidance screenshot

Deployment

Deployment guidance and diagnostics continue to improve so admins can roll out changes with less guesswork and better operational feedback.

Why It Matters

Rollouts are safer when guidance, settings, and diagnostics are easier to follow under pressure.

Archive release
Redis Key Vault configuration screenshot

Redis and Key Vault

Caching and secret-management guidance has expanded so production deployments can be configured more securely and more predictably.

Why It Matters

Secure caching and secret handling are easier to operationalize when the guidance is concrete instead of implicit.

Archive release
Support menu entry screenshot

Send Feedback

End users can prepare structured bug reports and feature requests directly from the Support menu instead of sending unstructured notes.

Why It Matters

Structured feedback gives admins something actionable instead of vague complaints or one-line requests.

Archive release
Support menu entry screenshot

Support Menu

Admins can expose Latest Features and Send Feedback through one predictable support surface so discovery and reporting live in the same place.

Why It Matters

A predictable support surface makes help, announcements, and feedback easier to discover and reuse.

Archive release
Conversation export workflow screenshot

Export Conversation

Users can export one or multiple conversations in JSON or Markdown through a guided wizard that handles packaging and download choices.

Why It Matters

Structured export makes it easier to archive, review, reuse, or share conversations outside the live chat UI.

Archive release
Personal retention settings screenshot

Retention Policy

Retention settings let admins and workspace owners control how long conversations and documents are kept before automatic cleanup runs.

Why It Matters

Retention controls make lifecycle management more predictable, auditable, and easier to explain across workspaces.

Archive release
Workspace scope lock screenshot

Workspace Scope Lock

Workspace scope locking freezes the originating workspace selection after grounded search so follow-up questions do not accidentally cross data boundaries.

Why It Matters

Locking the originating scope prevents accidental cross-contamination when users continue a grounded conversation.

Archive release
Workspace folder grid view screenshot

Tags, Grid View, and Chat Filtering

Tag management, folder-style grid view, and chat filtering work together so users can organize large document sets and search them more intentionally.

Why It Matters

Tags and folder-style browsing turn large document collections into something people can navigate and filter quickly.

Additional highlights from v0.239.001 - 0.241.007

  • Guided tutorials, background chat completion, and fact memory helped users onboard faster and carry useful context forward.
  • GPT selection, citation improvements, document versioning, and tabular analysis made core chat and document workflows more transparent.
  • Support Menu, Send Feedback, deployment guidance, and Redis/Key Vault setup improved the admin-to-user release communication loop.
  • Owner-only group agent management lets admins restrict group agent and action edits to group owners.
  • Multi-workspace scope management expanded grounded chat across personal, group, and public sources.
  • Tag folders, grid view, and chat filtering shipped together as one broader workspace workflow upgrade.

Bug fixes kept for reference

  • Citation parsing fixes resolved edge cases where page range references failed to create the right clickable links.
  • Public workspace activation fixed a 403 path for non-owner users activating a public workspace for chat.
