New
New capabilities in this release.
- **Visual Answers.** A new Chat response method. Turn it on in Chat Settings. Each reply opens with a concise summary in everyday language, then calls out key findings, things to double-check, and practical next steps, without burying you in rows and columns up front. Full numbers and tables are still there when you need them, and the thread keeps this layout as you continue the conversation.
- **Share a Favorites folder and its metrics.** Share a folder with other people in your organization. They get a notice that the folder was shared with them. They can leave the folder, or clone it into a folder they own. General stays personal. If the owner deletes the folder, people it was shared with keep their copy. Shared metrics and charts appear for people who can read the data those metrics use.
- **Tool and chat settings on Scheduled Prompts.** Set the model, tools, and chat settings on a scheduled prompt. Each run uses what you saved on that schedule.
- **XML and KML attachments.** Attach xml or kml files to a chat prompt. Snowfire includes the file with your message so the assistant can use feeds, exports, and other structured data in its answer.
- **Allow Web Fetch for this answer.** If an answer needs Web Fetch and that tool is off, chat asks before it uses it. Choose **Don't allow**, **Allow this time**, or **Always allow**.
Improved
Improvements to existing features.
- **Scheduled Prompt email.** When a scheduled prompt succeeds, the email subject is the prompt title without the **Scheduled Prompt:** prefix.
- **Trendlines on charts.** Charts show a dashed trendline by default. **Show trendline** stays on until you turn it off.
- **Attach files.** Drop files on the prompt composer to attach them. While you drag, the composer says **Drop files here or click to browse**.
- **External Signals digests.** Each story in an External Signals digest links to the source for that headline, so the article you open is the one the story describes, not another item in the same digest.
- **Follow-up prompts.** The answer stays on screen while follow-up prompts are written. Chips show **Preparing follow-up prompts…** until those prompts are ready.
- **Answer layout preferences.** Ask for the next answer to be arranged a certain way, such as the table first, and that choice is kept for that kind of answer.
- **Charts from answer data.** A result that fits a chart can open as that chart, such as a line for a series over time or a bar for a short set of categories. A chart type you saved still applies. Asking for a table keeps the table.
- **One answer at a time.** A chat runs one answer at a time. A message you send while an answer is still running waits, then runs when that answer finishes.
- **Settings on a prompt.** Under a prompt, icons show which settings were on for that turn. The model that answered is written out beside them. Classic Chat hides the model name.
- **Phone layout.** On a phone, list filters open in a panel from the bottom of the screen. The chat title, folder, and recent chats sit in the page header.
Fixed
Issues resolved in this release.
- **Reading an answer.** While an answer is being written, scrolling up keeps your place. The thread follows the answer only when you are already at the bottom.
For organization administrators
Changes in this release.
- **Access when sharing a folder.** When you share a Favorites folder, you can update data access for the people you selected so they can see the charts and metrics.
