Changelog

What's New

• Redesigned interface — The entire Excel add-in has been visually overhauled to match the Blast Audit brand. Square corners, consistent #106FF1 primary color, slate neutrals, and a cleaner layout across every page.
• Probe batch mode — Run a column of questions against multiple documents at once. A step-by-step wizard guides you through selecting questions, choosing documents, and reviewing results — all written back to Excel automatically.
• Auto-selection in Probe — When creating a batch run, the question range updates in real time as you select cells in Excel. No manual copy-paste needed.
• Labeled toolbar in the document viewer — The floating icon toolbar is replaced by a fixed bar at the top with "Extract" and "Annotate" dropdown menus. Each option includes a short description so you know what it does before clicking.
• Unified document management — Documents, folders, import, and all management actions are now in one view. No more switching between a list and a separate organizer dialog.
• Auto-scroll during snip creation — When dragging near the edge of the PDF while creating a snip, the view scrolls automatically. Press Escape to cancel.
• New sign-in page — Clean, branded sign-in with the Blast Audit logo and two clear options: sign in or discover the product.
• Dashboard rebrand — The admin dashboard now matches the landing page design with square corners, consistent colors, and simplified layouts.
• New Blast Audit logo — Updated brand identity across the add-in, dashboard, and marketing site.
