## New features

- **Work with your library through chat.** You can now ask the assistant to find files, organize folders and collections, work with metadata, and help manage comments or share links. You can use it within projects, at the workspace level, and on supported shared pages, with actions limited by the access available in that context.
- **Give the assistant useful context.** You can now mention items from your library or use the content you are already viewing to guide a request. The assistant’s reference cards give you a way to open the files, comments, or other items it is talking about.
- **Review proposed changes before they run.** You can now see a summary of an assistant action and approve or reject it before it changes your content, according to your approval settings. The summary gives you more context about the items and values involved in the request.
- **Return to previous conversations.** You can now browse your assistant conversation history and continue an earlier discussion. Automatically generated conversation titles make it easier to recognize the session you want to reopen.

## Improvements

- **Do more through MCP.** You can now use connected AI tools for more of your workflow, including comments, metadata, people management, and notifications. These capabilities share the same underlying operations as the in-app assistant, so they follow your Aspect permissions.
- **Adjust assistant behavior in Settings.** You can now manage your assistant preferences from a dedicated Agent and MCP settings page. Your approval choices are saved so you can choose the level of review that fits your workflow.

## Bug fixes

- **Keep working in longer assistant sessions.** You can now continue longer assistant conversations more reliably. Session handling and desktop tool approvals have been corrected so those workflows are less likely to stall as you work.
- **Start uploads from the page controls.** You can now use the upload file and upload folder buttons more reliably. Your comment editor also stays within a more manageable height when you write a longer response.
