Assign a group to a Site with the appropriate role and expiry, then manage the group’s membership as the team changes.\n\nThe user access view makes it easier to see which Sites a person can access, whether that access is direct or through a group, and the relevant role and expiry. Administrators can review access and manage invitations from the same context.\n\n## Site Tags and Filtering\n\nOrganize Sites with shared tags and separate administrator-only tags. Updated list and tile views make it easier to filter the Sites you need and maintain a useful overview as the number of engagements grows.\n\n## More Actionable Insights\n\nInsights now focus on items that may need attention, such as pending signatures, an Agent run that needs follow-up, updated document versions, invitation issues, or repeated searches without results.\n\nOpen the relevant item directly from an Insight. Use **Remind me tomorrow** or **Not relevant** to control repetition, and undo feedback when needed. The preference to show or hide Insights is also retained.\n\n## Clearer Agent Run Messages\n\nAgent run views provide more useful status and failure information, helping users understand when a run needs attention and what to review before trying again. Run updates and recovery handling have also been improved for a more consistent experience.\n\n## Reasoning Controls and Search\n\n- A compact reasoning-effort slider makes it easier to adjust supported reasoning levels for the selected model, with an Auto option available.\n- Search improvements bring filename matches and semantic document results together more consistently.\n\n## Everyday Reliability\n\nThis release also refines chat panel layouts, connection-status messages, Site view preferences, profile validation, checkout wording, invitations, access expiry, and document signing.\n\nThe API includes supporting improvements for group administration, Site organization, Insights feedback, search, and Agent run status. Routine security hardening and dependency maintenance continue across the service.\n\n## AI Capability Index Retired\n\nThe standalone AI Capability Index is no longer maintained or promoted as current model-selection guidance. Its existing URL now explains the retirement and links to current AI features and task-based evaluation guidance. The original announcement and research remain available as historical material.\n\n## Learn More\n\n- [Sites and external collaboration](\u002Ffeatures\u002Fsites)\n- [Engagement analytics](\u002Ffeatures\u002Fsites\u002Fanalytics)\n- [AI features](\u002Ffeatures\u002Fai)\n- [Governed Agents](\u002Ffeatures\u002Fagents)\n- [Security & Trust](\u002Ftrust)\n",[11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62],"\u002Fblog\u002F2026-07-29-architecting-controlled-egress-for-ai-agents","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-07-28-agent-runtime-execution-graphs","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-07-28-clear-ideas-agent-runtime","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-06-09-ai-workflows-that-generate-real-files","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-06-04-generate-spreadsheets-documents-presentations-in-ai-chat","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-05-22-clear-ideas-community-edition","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-05-15-export-ai-chat-slides-to-powerpoint","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-05-12-edit-ai-workflows-in-plain-language","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-05-07-ai-workspace-insights","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-05-04-pdf-redaction-for-controlled-disclosure","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-04-30-tracking-user-journeys-in-your-data-room","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-04-27-clear-ideas-ai-capability-index","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-04-21-engagement-analytics-for-board-management","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-04-14-best-ai-model-is-a-governed-system","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-04-07-search-and-ai-analytics-understanding-stakeholder-intent","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-31-understanding-page-level-analytics-in-vdrs","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-30-contract-review-checklist-with-ai-assisted-analysis","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-27-governed-ai-checklist-for-private-document-analysis","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-26-ai-chat-best-practices-for-legal-teams","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-25-ai-workflow-checklist-from-documents-to-repeatable-process","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-23-client-portal-setup-checklist-for-professional-services","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-20-using-ai-chat-for-financial-analysis","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-19-secure-document-sharing-checklist-for-external-stakeholders","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-18-workflow-scheduling-and-automation-calendar","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-16-webhook-integrations-no-code-triggers","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-13-in-chat-ai-image-generation","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-12-metadata-powered-document-search","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-10-vdr-audit-trails-meeting-compliance-requirements","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-09-centralized-workflow-operations-scale-automation","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-07-why-file-storage-is-not-a-system-of-record","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-06-vdr-security-features-every-cfo-should-know","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-04-document-watermarking-in-vdrs","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-03-03-vdr-permission-management-step-by-step-guide","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-02-27-design-ai-workflows-from-a-simple-description","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-02-25-turn-your-best-documents-into-automated-ai-workflows","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-02-24-vdr-best-practices-for-ma-transactions","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-02-19-5-ai-workflow-templates-for-sales-marketing","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-02-18-5-ready-made-ai-workflow-templates-for-smb-teams","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-02-17-virtual-data-room-checklist-for-due-diligence","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-02-16-10-site-templates-every-smb-should-know","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-02-13-setting-up-your-first-virtual-data-room","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-02-12-complete-guide-ai-workflows-document-analysis-automation","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-02-12-technical-guide-building-robust-ai-workflows","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-02-10-transform-team-productivity-with-deterministic-ai-workflows","\u002Fblog\u002F2026-01-15-clear-ideas-best-practices-guide-maximize-your-success","\u002Fblog\u002F2025-12-16-mastering-engagement-analytics-virtual-data-room","\u002Fblog\u002F2025-11-21-clear-ideas-plus-codex","\u002Fblog\u002F2025-11-20-clear-ideas-plus-claude-code","\u002Fblog\u002F2025-11-19-clear-ideas-plus-cursor","\u002Fblog\u002F2025-11-18-mcp-and-analytics","\u002Fblog\u002F2024-10-22-beta-launch","\u002Fblog\u002Fprivate-models-vs-provider-models-agent-execution",1794501930086]
