Improvements#

AI#

  • Create New Chat available in the Chat widget sidebar on projects with no indexed data.

Platform#

  • Data source credentials write-only once saved, shown as “Stored” with a Replace action, and never included when duplicating a source.

  • Settings of a data source with stored credentials editable without re-entering the credential.

  • External ID label on the mapped ID column in the data source field-mapping step, with a link to the item format documentation.

  • Real values of the source ID column shown in the Data Preview of the data source wizard.

  • Smaller PDF viewer assets, with unused Office-conversion components removed.

Bug Fixes#

  • Opening a dashboard URL for a project you cannot access logging you out.

  • Project Translations silently discarding a row with an empty or whitespace-only key, keeping surrounding spaces in keys, and dropping the warning when a save failed.

  • Editing a label not saving a group typed directly into the Group field, and reporting success when the group was empty.

  • Edited label values not immediately shown in the Labels grid.

  • Project Settings Properties not reporting why a save failed, showing the unsaved project name in the navigation, and identifier copy and image controls not keyboard-accessible.

  • Sorting the Data Ingestion Logs table by Body or another content column emptying the view.

  • Data source preview failing for the database connector when using an inline SQL query.

  • PDF viewer not releasing browser resources when a document was closed.

Breaking Changes#

  • Data source connector credentials are write-only. Data source responses carry a secret_fields map that reports only whether each credential is set. Update any integration that reads credentials back from a data source configuration.

  • Users with the reader role can no longer preview a saved data source that has credentials. Readers can still preview a configuration they supply themselves. Users with the member role and above are unaffected.

  • .sqproj project exports no longer contain connector credentials for exported data sources. Enter the credentials again for each data source after importing a project.

  • The counts_agg parameter of the data sources API accepts only status and plugin_name. Update any client that passes another attribute.
