## New features

- **Use the desktop app on Windows.** You can now use Aspect’s desktop app on Windows and mount your media as a local drive for other applications. The Windows app includes its own window controls and installer, with follow-up fixes for folder uploads, playback, and drive behavior.
- **Browse and review in the iPhone app.** You can now browse projects, folders, and collections in a native iPhone app, then open media to review it. You can read and add comments, follow available transcripts, and move between files without returning to a desktop browser.
- **Manage uploads and downloads on your phone.** You can now upload files from your iPhone and keep track of uploads and downloads in the app’s transfer view. You can also use the Aspect assistant from your phone when you need help finding or organizing content.
- **Open notifications and share links in the app.** You can now receive supported notifications on your iPhone and tap through to the relevant content. Aspect share links can also open in the native app, helping you get from a message to the item you need to review.

## Improvements

- **Organize content from your iPhone.** You can now rename items, add them to collections, move them to Trash, and restore them from your phone. You can also edit collections and drag items to a new location, giving you more ways to maintain your library while away from your desk.
- **Manage your settings on iPhone.** You can now reach account, project, workspace, and notification settings from the iPhone app. Your available controls follow your permissions, so you can make supported changes without switching to the web app.
- **Return to recently accessed work.** You can now find recently opened items from your workspace home and use project sorting to get back to the work you need. This gives you a quicker starting point when you return to Aspect.
- **Do more directly from Finder.** You can now pin or unpin multiple selected items in Finder, copy a desktop link, or start creating a share link from the file’s menu. These actions let you move between local work and Aspect collaboration with fewer steps.
- **Undo and redo drawn feedback.** You can now undo or redo strokes while drawing a comment annotation using Cmd+Z and Shift+Cmd+Z on Mac, or the equivalent Ctrl shortcuts on Windows. You can correct your markup without starting the whole annotation again.

## Bug fixes

- **Internal comments stay visible to your team.** When you open a share link as a workspace member, you can now see the internal comments your workspace access allows. External reviewers still receive the comment visibility permitted by the share.
- **Start browser downloads more reliably.** Your browser checks that its download handling is ready and can recover when that setup fails. This reduces cases where you start a download but no file arrives.
- **Keep live updates connected on iPhone.** Your iPhone app keeps its live connection open more reliably, instead of repeatedly disconnecting after about 20 seconds. You can receive changes as they happen with fewer interruptions.
