Release Notes

New:

Added the ability to Duplicate a Palette by right-clicking on a Palette or using the Options menu button within a Palette.
- A duplicated palette preserves the state of the palette and removes shared users so that no other edits or deletions can be made, unless the duplicate is shared again.

Removed dependency on MSMQ that was used for Host-in-Cloud publishing and Thumbnail Virtualization (avoids an issue when MSMQ services are disabled by default in Windows 11).

Cleaned up flow for prompting login when silently launched by an external add-in (AVAIL for Revit).

Azure SSO login will now display in the AVAIL Desktop window, rather than a separate pop-up window.

Fixes & Improvements:

Resolved an issue with YouTube videos displaying an error code in the Preview Panel.
Improved keyboard navigation to display suggested tags and keys from the Add Tags and Add/Remove Tags dialogs.
Performance improvement for in-Channel navigation, specifically with Keycards and Breadcrumbs.
Fixed the issue with a newly uploaded Channel Card not displaying properly.
Fixed an issue when toggling Key Card visibility. Search is now cleared when toggling Keycard visibility.
Limited the number of items loaded into the search bar dropdown. Channels, Channel Groups, and Applications are limited to 5. Recent Searches and Tag Suggestions (in-Channel) limited to 10.
