Introduction

This release of the frontline.io PC App includes a range of updates aimed at improving usability, performance, and customization. New features such as multilingual support, the AI Assistant (Beta), and enhancements to the Digital Twin Editor provide more flexibility and efficiency for content creators and end users. Additional improvements to user interface elements, remote support, and procedures contribute to a more streamlined and responsive experience.  

New Features & Enhancements

Multiple Language Support

frontline.io is now a multilingual app! You can change the language directly from the login screen or inside the settings panel, making it easier to use in your preferred language. 

Introducing the AI Assistant (Beta)

Performance Optimizations

We've made significant performance improvements to keep the app running smoothly while reducing battery and CPU usage.

Digital Twin Enhancements

Zoom to Mouse Position - Smarter Navigation

Now, when scrolling, the camera zooms directly to the mouse pointer for more precise navigation. If your pointer is on a specific machine part, the zoom will focus on that part automatically, making it easier to inspect details.

Reset Part

Occlusion Culling for Better Performance

The Digital Twin now renders only visible parts, preventing hidden elements from slowing down performance. This optimization ensures a smoother and more responsive experience.

Improved User Experience & Controls

                                                                                                

Universal Top Bar for Desktop

We've introduced a Windows-style top bar with familiar Close, Minimize, and Maximize buttons for a seamless desktop experience on Windows & Mac.

Dark Mode

Want to give your eyes a break? You can now switch to Dark Mode in the settings menu for a softer, less bright interface—perfect for late-night work sessions or low-light environments.

Force Update on Launch (Admin Control)

frontline.io can now enforce app updates when launching to ensure all users are running the latest critical versions. This feature is enabled by request for enterprise users.

Minimize to Tray Option

Want to keep the app running in the background? You can now choose whether clicking the close button minimizes the app to the tray or fully exits it—configurable in the settings panel.

Procedure & Remote Support Improvements

Clickable Links in Procedure Steps

Now, you can add interactive links directly from the Flow Editor using the new "Link" button. These links allow users to open external resources from specific steps inside a procedure.

Incoming Call Notification for Remote Support

Never miss an important support call! When receiving a remote support call, you'll get a desktop notification allowing you to accept, decline, or respond without needing to open the app.

Fixed Issues

1. Create new Bookmark: the "create new pop" up appeared underneath the menu. 
   
2. Bookmark now restores visibility and X-Ray correctly. Previously, bookmarks failed to restore part visibility and X-Ray state, causing the model to flash and disappear.

1. Same Setup parts no longer reset when removed: Previously, when using parts carried over from a previous step ("Same setup"), deleting them from the list would incorrectly reset their position and rotation to default. 
   

1. Share Screen: Sharing Screen would flip the shared picture left to right

Known Issues

1. Guest avatar doesn't show initials or "G" for guest

1. Localization: Preferred Language Setting Not Applied Across App - The app retains the last used language within that workspace, regardless of the default set on the web.
2. Inconsistent selection color update.
   

1. Digital Twin - Misfunctioning of camera location using the double click in extract mode. 
   
2. Mirrored items indicator is missing in the app.
   

1. During an animation, selecting next step the camera makes an abrupt movement.
2. Auto Next Step doesn't trigger after animation
   In procedures with animations and "Auto next step on completion"  enabled, the step does not advance after the animation ends when TTS is off. 

1. Parts Catalog Doesn’t Open When Selecting Part in Animation Builder - In the Animation Builder, after creating and saving an animation, selecting "Create New" causes the Parts Catalog to close. When attempting to select a part from the 3D scene, the catalog does not reopen as expected.

1. Lighting issue
   
2. Media items - selecting the media and switching to 3D the gizmo doesn't appear. 
   

1. User feedback is missing incase of a timeout

1. Delay Opening App from Tray on Incoming Call - When minimized to tray, the app shows a call notification but opens with a few seconds' delay instead of instantly.
