More precise editing for groups, text and AI work

This release makes group editing, text formatting and table work more predictable across the editor. AI research progress now streams live into Riplo, while collaborative editing on large decks is smoother and more resilient.

Highlights

  • Smarter group editing

    Groups now align, rotate, resize and ungroup more predictably, including nested groups and selected members.

  • Reliable text formatting

    Copy formatting works across rich text and lists, while pasted text preserves line breaks and fits the destination styling better.

  • Live research progress

    AI research runs now stream progress to the app as they work, so you can follow along instead of waiting without feedback.

  • Smoother collaboration

    Large collaborative decks produce fewer unnecessary sync conflicts and stay more responsive while people edit together.

Bug fix

editor

  • Resizing several elements now preserves appropriate aspect ratios, text fitting and proportional spacing.
