New Features

Animation Manager (Web)

The new Animation Usage Visibility feature provides content creators with a clear audit trail of how assets are utilized across the platform. This update improves content management and acts as a fail-safe to prevent the accidental deletion of critical mission data.

Key Highlights:

• View Usages: Each animation now includes a "View Usages" option, displaying a comprehensive list of all published and unpublished procedures where the animation is active.

• Impact Analysis: Quickly determine if an animation is safe to delete or modify based on its implementation across the workspace.

• Direct Navigation: Clicking a procedure in the usage list automatically opens the Flow Editor and highlights the specific node where the animation is used for immediate editing.
  

AI Knowledge Sources

AI Knowledge Sources enable administrators to upload raw documentation—such as PDFs and .doc files—directly to the workspace. This data significantly enhances the accuracy of AI Assist, allowing it to query specific company manuals and technical guides to support end-users.

Key Highlights:

• Enhanced AI Intelligence: End-users receive more precise answers grounded in your uploaded technical documentation rather than general knowledge.

• Source Transparency: AI-generated responses can reference specific uploaded files, providing clarity on the information source.

• Granular Access Control: Restrict sensitive documents to particular roles to ensure data is only accessible to authorized personnel.

• Cross-Workspace Sharing: Support for sub-workspaces allows for seamless information sharing across multiple organizational levels.
  

Bug Fixes

Guides Converter

• UI Stability: The Guides converter UI no longer closes prematurely while a conversion is in progress, ensuring a consistent workflow.
  

Known Issues

• Animation Manager: The "Show Animation Usage" list currently does not display the specific Sub-Workspace name.

• AI Chat (PDF): When using large, complex PDF examples in the Flow Editor, the AI may struggle to generate a complete, structurally sound procedure.

• AI Studio (Sub-workspaces): Users may encounter access issues with shared files within specific sub-workspace configurations.

• AI Studio (Context): The AI may occasionally reference an unrelated procedure when queried about a specific uploaded file in a sub-workspace.

• AI Studio (Data Retrieval): In certain sub-workspace scenarios, the AI may fail to retrieve specific information from an uploaded file.

• 2D Procedures: Text-to-Speech (TTS) audio is currently not triggering during 2D procedure playback.
