Range Linking allows you to create and update links across multiple cells simultaneously, making it easier to introduce structural changes to linked data. You can add or remove rows and columns, adjust cell values and links, and then publish the entire range. All changes will automatically sync across your workspace, eliminating the need for manual reconciliation.

ESG
ESG Find & Replace now supports locating tasks by former and suspended members
You can now filter for and update tasks assigned to people who no longer belong to the workspace in ESG Find & Replace; this allows you to more easily reassign these tasks.

ESG Find & Replace now supports changing task names
You can now add, remove, and replace task names in ESG Find & Replace.

Generative AI
Microsoft AI PDF referencing issue
A recent update to the Microsoft AI provider causes screen lock-ups when referencing PDF files.
The triggers are:
- Selecting a PDF file in Home when Microsoft is the default provider.
- Selecting a PDF file in Home while using AWS/Google, then changing the provider to Microsoft.
While we are working on a more elegant remedy, selecting a PDF file in either of these cases now displays an error message stating that this action is unsupported.
The solution is to switch to AWS or Google in the Generative AI settings when working with PDF files.
