Summary
- Canvas questions can now include observer relationships while keeping results scoped to the correct Canvas account.
- Large pinboards begin loading complete charts and tables earlier and recover more gracefully from temporary capacity pressure.
- Canvas is more resilient to brief connection interruptions while retrieving course data.
- Fixed incomplete query templates reaching execution and potentially returning misleading empty results.
- Fixed temporary data-retrieval interruptions appearing as terminal failures instead of retrying safely.
- Canvas is more resilient to brief connection interruptions while retrieving course data.
- Fixed incomplete query templates reaching execution instead of being stopped safely before they could produce a confusing result.
- When the assistant asks a follow-up question or cannot complete a request, it now keeps more helpful context in the conversation. Short follow-up replies stay connected to the original question.
- Complex questions are handled more consistently with safeguards for very large question contexts.
- Pinboards reopen faster by securely reusing recent results and preparing a limited number of viewed pins in the background.
- Large pinboards now prioritize visible charts and tables, improving initial load responsiveness.
- Questions more consistently preserve requested filters, timeframes, and scope.
- Query processing is less likely to return an empty result when an already-running execution path has valid data.
- Pinboard loading and updates are more resilient when switching boards, reconnecting, or encountering temporary capacity limits.
- Fixed errors when sorting table columns containing lists or nested values.
- Fixed pinboard request failures appearing as legitimately empty boards; affected users now receive a retry option.
- Fixed transient query-finalization failures that could interrupt otherwise successful results.
- Added clearer recovery options when Canvas navigation encounters an unexpected route error.
- Follow-up questions respond noticeably faster.
- Security hardening around request logging, plus dependency updates.
- Fixed CSV downloads failing for some query results.
- Updated and expanded translations across the app.
- Starter question suggestions now display in your Canvas language instead of defaulting to English.
- Fixed an issue where follow-up question suggestions could be missing after certain complex questions.
- Improved reliability of data availability checks when opening the app.
- Updated interface components across the app for a more consistent look and feel.
- More accurate SQL generation for questions involving quoted text.
- Fixed an issue where questions could return empty results even when matching data existed.
- Fixed an issue where a failed question could hang instead of showing a clear error.
- Improved reliability of nightly data syncs, reducing cases of delayed or incomplete data.
- Repeat and saved questions return results faster — previously computed queries are reused instead of rebuilt.
- Follow-up question suggestions appear faster after each answer.
- Query engine tuning in every region for more consistent performance.
- App now correctly applies your Canvas language setting on launch, instead of defaulting to English.
- Fixed an issue where a submitted question could stall or be submitted twice.
- Fixed reliability issues in nightly data syncs that could cause delayed or incomplete data.
