General improvements and bug fixes
General improvements and bug fixes on Jira connection
General improvements
• Tables throughout Liz now appear with an updated, more consistent design
• When Liz works through a multi-step question, progress can now appear as a brief status line instead of the full reasoning stream, with full details available on request
Security updates Enforced registered-user verification across all messaging bot surfaces, closing a gap that allowed unregistered users to receive responses. No user action required.
Cleaner chat exports
Exported chat messages now contain only the substantive content of the conversation. Conversational framing such as word counts and formatting instructions is automatically removed from Markdown, PDF, and email exports, so documents are ready to share without manual editing.
Improved Slack, Teams, and MCP responses
Liz's Slack, Teams, and MCP bots now deliver only the final answer. Extra text that could occasionally appear alongside responses has been removed.
Teams channel permissions
The Teams bot now respects channel-level permissions configured by organization admins. Liz only responds in channels that have been explicitly enabled, matching the behavior already available for Slack.
Linear issues in search
Liz now includes Linear issues in search results alongside Jira tickets. Queries about Linear projects surface relevant issues directly in chat responses.
General improvements
• Fixed an issue where pressing Stop during a chat response could cause the message to appear twice
• Improved the layout of the document upload dialog
• Fixed an issue that could prevent Zoom meeting transcripts and summaries from processing
• Preset Insights can now be set to recalculate at a specific time of day
• Spend limits are now enforced on document and chat attachment uploads, and on the Slack, Teams, and MCP bot surfaces, closing gaps where these paths could bypass an account's spend cap
Liz in Microsoft Teams
You can now work with Liz directly in Microsoft Teams, in the channels your organization chooses to enable. When a conversation starts from Teams, Liz carries the context with it — showing the channel it came from, a link back to the original thread, and the opening message.
Preset insight shortcuts in chat
You can now type /pi or /preset-insight directly in chat to pull up any preset insight without leaving your conversation.
General improvements
• Chat sessions now display a descriptive title immediately based on your opening message, with no visible delay
• The cost control dashboard now includes a group-by option for more flexible cost categorization
Direct Ticket Creation
When you give Liz an explicit instruction to create a single Jira ticket, it now does so immediately and reports the result. Previously, even clear create requests were routed through a draft-and-confirm step. The confirmation flow still applies when you ask Liz to draft or review a ticket first, or when the request involves multiple tickets, an ambiguous project, or insufficient detail to form a complete ticket.
Confluence Comments from Chat
Liz can now post comments on Confluence pages directly from the conversation, including replies with quoted context and @-mentions, with a confirmation step before publishing.
Document Type Classification
The upload dialog for business context documents now includes a Classification section. You can optionally assign one or more nodes to a document and then tag it with types, including custom types you enter yourself. Assigned types appear as labels in the documents table, so you can see at a glance how each document is categorized.
Full-File Analysis for Large Documents
Liz now processes the entire uploaded document rather than partial excerpts when answering quantitative questions about large files like CSVs.
General improvements
• Made data exploration — deeper analytical questions across your connected data, including aggregations, cross-referencing, and trend analysis — available to every organization rather than a subset of accounts.
• Added support for uploading HTML files as business context documents or chat attachments.
• Fixed an issue where Liz referenced file paths or claimed that output was saved or downloaded to a location outside the chat. Large results such as tables and data exports are delivered directly in the conversation.
• Fixed an issue where chat sessions occasionally appeared empty on the first visit to the homepage.
• Fixed an issue where resuming a previous conversation and sending a new message did not automatically scroll to the latest reply.
• Replaced the generic error shown when a Slack connection expires or is revoked with a specific prompt to reconnect Slack in Settings.
• Fixed the "Skip for now" option on the tool-connection step during onboarding, which previously left users stuck on the same step.
• Fixed chat file uploads failing when the filename contains special characters.
• Corrected the Spending Details description to accurately list "date" and "user" as the available filters, removing references to filter options that do not exist.
• Corrected the spending badge in the user menu to display usage against the lockdown cap instead of the lower warning cap.
• Clarified the action button on the spending lockdown banner, which now reads "Temporarily disable until next month" — the previous label implied the lockdown would be removed permanently.
Security updates Patched known vulnerabilities across container base images, backend runtime, and frontend dependencies, including a Node.js runtime update. All remediations were identified and prioritized through automated vulnerability scanning. No user action required.
Document classification and freshness tracking
Business Context Documents can now be organized with categories and document types, making it easier to find and manage uploaded materials. Each document also shows a freshness indicator so teams can quickly spot content that may need updating.
Large file analysis in chat
Liz can now reliably analyze large structured files — such as CSV exports and JSON datasets — attached directly in chat. Previously, very large files could cause processing interruptions; they are now handled smoothly.
A unified foundation for search
We've rebuilt how Liz searches across your connected sources — documents, Jira, GitHub, and Zoom transcripts now flow through a single, unified search layer. This foundational upgrade means faster, more consistent, and more relevant results as Liz finds and connects information across everything you've connected.
General improvements
• Improved breadcrumb navigation and page header consistency across Settings pages
• Confluence connections now automatically recover from certain configuration changes, reducing manual reconnection steps
Bulk user management
Organization admins can now update roles for multiple users at once and resend pending invitations from a single screen.
Personalized insights across tabs
Personally tuned Preset Insight cards now appear on both the My Insights and All Preset Insights tabs on the homepage.
General improvements
• Completed onboarding steps now show a visible checkmark, making it easier to track setup progress
• Fixed an issue where document attachment buttons in chat could render incorrectly
• Improved how Liz finds and uses uploaded business documents when answering questions
• Organization owners now receive a confirmation email when an organization is removed, including a summary of what was affected
Personalized homepage scores
Preset Insights you have personally tuned now contribute to your homepage alignment scores. Your scores reflect exactly the insights that matter to you, rather than only the organization-wide defaults.
SVG file support in chat
Liz now accepts SVG files as chat attachments. Upload diagrams, wireframes, or technical illustrations directly into a conversation, and Liz will analyze the visual content alongside your question.
General improvements
• The homepage score label was updated from "Overall score" to "Average score," with a tooltip explaining how the score is calculated
• Fixed an issue where ticket quality score charts could display fewer dimensions than expected for some organizations
• Fixed an issue where searching objectives in Jira Align could return errors
• Resolved a crash that could occur during multi-factor authentication setup
• Resolved permission-related issues that could prevent certain pages or features from loading correctly
• Improved visual consistency in the integration onboarding flow
Security updates Patched identified vulnerabilities across backend services, frontend packages, and container infrastructure. Hardened session management with stricter transport-level security controls. No user action required.
File attachments in chat
Files can now be attached directly to chat conversations in Liz. Attached files stay private to the conversation.
Improved PDF content extraction
Fixed an issue where PDF pages containing a mix of text and images could fail to extract content correctly. PDF documents with image now processed reliably.
General improvements
• Insight cards on the homepage now sort alphabetically by title for easier scanning
• Chat follow-up suggestions are now labeled "Go deeper" for clearer navigation
• Fixed an issue where chat sessions could not be renamed
• Fixed a rendering issue where chat responses could display with unintended line wrapping
Security updates Strengthened session management controls. No user action required.
Chat prompt preservation
When you stop Liz mid-response, your original prompt is now preserved in the input field. Edit and retry without retyping.
Documents to Tickets retired
The Documents to Tickets feature has been retired and is no longer available.
Jira commenting from chat
Ask Liz to post comments and replies directly on your Jira tickets, including @-mentions. Liz shows you a preview and waits for your confirmation before posting.
Preset Insight history
View past versions of any Preset Insight to see how scores and analysis have changed over time. Access the history panel from any insight card on your homepage.
General improvements
• Fixed an issue where some insight cards were not appearing on the homepage
• Fixed an error that could occur when opening chat from an insight card
• Improved scoring accuracy for insight cards
• Document search now shows active filter indicators, making it easier to see and remove applied filters
• Fixed a homepage icon display issue
• Improved user role flexibility with support for multiple simultaneous roles
Security updates Completed 2 rounds of dependency security updates this week, patching known vulnerabilities across backend runtime and frontend build dependencies. All remediations were identified and prioritized through automated vulnerability scanning.
