Chat-First Home, a Smarter Overview & Settings That Make Sense
Home is now one place to ask Rex for anything, and Overview became a real dashboard — including whether your review queue is growing or shrinking. Settings, teams and analytics were rebuilt as clear pages, the Rex panel floats over your work instead of squeezing it, and out of office lets you choose who covers you in each workspace.
Added
Chat-first Home: Home opens to a greeting and one box to ask Rex or start a request. The dashboard moved to Overview.
Keeping up: Overview charts the reviews that reached your queue against the ones cleared over the last 14 days, and says in one sentence whether your queue is growing or shrinking.
Overview at a glance: What's waiting on you, split by deadline (overdue, due soon, on track); requests in flight, split into moving and stalled; and decisions this week as a small chart. Your lists are proper tables with column headers.
Out of office reminder: While you're away, Overview says so — until when and who covers you — with Change and Turn off.
Team icons and colours: Give each team an icon and colour. Teams shows them as a grid of cards.
Team settings tab: A team's settings live in a Settings tab on its page instead of a popup.
Resizable sidebar: Drag the sidebar's edge to resize it, or all the way left to shrink it to icons.
Search from the sidebar: A Search field at the top of the sidebar opens the command palette.
Theme picker: Choose System, Light or Dark, each with a preview.
Ask Rex from anywhere: An "Ask Rex" button in the top bar, or ⌘J / Ctrl+J on any page.
Fields an app needs: A connected app's workflow step lists the form fields the app reads, suggests a match for each, and flags required ones that are missing.
Changed
Workspace analytics: Rebuilt around plain questions. It opens with one sentence about the last 30 days, then shows requests over time, where requests are now, and how response deadlines are going.
Settings are pages: Workspace and account settings each have their own pages with a navigation down the side — one subject per page.
Out of office cover per workspace: Your away dates apply everywhere, and you choose who covers your reviews in each workspace. Before, cover only worked in workspaces the person covering belonged to.
Rex panel: Slides in over the page instead of squeezing it, so tables and forms stay put. Escape closes it, and chat history opens inside it.
One Share dialog: Sharing a request with people and sharing its status link now happen in the same dialog.
New template and Create with AI: Redesigned dialogs. New template shows which team it belongs to and the reference its requests will use.
A calmer look: Quieter colours, clear focus outlines, consistent page headers and toolbars, buttons that say what they do, and one initials colour per person everywhere.
Learn hub removed: The ? panel is gone. Page tips stay, and what's new lives on the changelog page.
Platform upgrades: Next.js 16.4 and React 19.3, groundwork for moving hosting to Cloudflare.
Fixed
Starting a workflow over kept old decisions: Reviewers now go back to pending when a workflow restarts.
An app step after an approval failed with "not installed": It runs now.
Yes/no app fields: They map to toggles instead of checkbox lists.
Unlimited plans showed a full usage bar: They read "No limit".
Audit log: Events read as sentences, link to the request they're about, and automation shows as "System".
Account settings ran off the edge of the screen: Fixed, along with the duplicated navigation.
Scheduled jobs ran when there was nothing to do: They now only call the app when work is due.
