What's New

New

• Hover an @mention in a comment to see a quick profile card for that person, without leaving the conversation.
• Breadcrumbs on a project now reflect where you came from — open a project from your inbox and you can step straight back to it.

Improved

• The AI review panel now explains itself while it works: it shows what it's reviewing against, and if a property doesn't have brand guidelines set up yet, it tells you why a review can't run and offers a shortcut to add them.
• The in-app AI chat now opens instantly — its editor is prepared quietly in the background so there's no wait the first time you open it.
• Lists and tables feel snappier, with unnecessary transition animations removed.
• The app stays responsive during brief service interruptions.

Fixed

• In a comment, only the file thumbnail and its name open the markup viewer now — clicking the empty space beside them no longer opens it by accident.
• When an AI review can't run, the message is clearer about what happened.
• The help menu shows only published updates, and entries without an image no longer show an empty grey box.

You can now turn off automatic background removal when uploading an asset, so your image is kept exactly as you uploaded it.

New

• When uploading an asset, you can now slide the sensitivity all the way to Off to skip automatic background removal entirely — your image is saved exactly as you uploaded it.

Fixed

• At the lowest sensitivity, background removal could still alter images that were already clean or transparent. Turning it Off now leaves those images untouched.

New

• The AI assistant can now suggest actions and open pages for you, then carry them out once you confirm — triaging your inbox, snoozing items, subscribing, favouriting, setting your review status, or starting an AI review.
• Dates you type in plain language (like "Friday 2pm") are now understood in your own time zone.
• You can browse a project's version history and see how it looked at each earlier submission.
• Hover the clock on a project field to see how that value changed over time.
• A new in-app help menu, product changelog, and guided tours make it easier to find your way around.
• A new "About mBox AI" page explains what the assistant does and the limits of relying on it.

Improved

• AI review status now updates instantly on the project page, so it no longer shows as completed while the summary is still loading.
• Comment controls are clearer — tooltips are back, and author names lift gently when you hover them.

Fixed

• Stopping the AI mid-response no longer loses your chat history, and interrupted chats now recover cleanly when you reload.
• When an AI review fails or comes back empty, you now see the reason.
• Replying to a comment reliably opens the thread, and the sidebar toggle now closes an open thread cleanly in one click.
• Reviewer comments brought in from the approval system no longer show stray HTML codes.

Fixed

• Historical inbox notifications that were previously missing can now be restored, so your inbox reflects the full activity history for your projects — including activity from before you were added.

New

• You can now set your own review status on a project — Approved, Needs revision, or reviewed — right from the project header.
• See everyone reviewing a project at a glance, and add or remove reviewers from a single place on the project page.

Improved

• Inbox rows are cleaner and easier to scan.
• Keyboard shortcuts now show as clear chips in tooltips, and navigation icons line up neatly across the app.

Fixed

• You now reliably receive inbox updates for projects that were created before you were added, so nothing slips through.
• Being mentioned notifies you once without quietly subscribing you to everything on that project — and once you unsubscribe, it stays that way.
• Form fields no longer leave an empty gap below them; an error message appears only when there's actually something to fix.

New

• A refreshed navigation with a new logo and updated look throughout the app.
• A redesigned project detail view with a side panel you can rearrange to your liking — your layout is remembered next time.
• Knowledge Base rules now update live: changes you or the AI assistant make show up instantly, with no need to refresh.
• The AI assistant can now add or remove examples on a rule and change a rule's severity when you ask.

Improved

• Projects now display more of their fields, and starring a project keeps the whole project in your favorites.
• Cleaner preview cards and crisper text across the AI assistant lists.

Fixed

• Drawing a shape on an image no longer requires typing a comment — the shape itself is the note.
• Clicking a button repeatedly (for example, adding a Knowledge Base asset) no longer creates duplicates.
• The rule scope editor now correctly shows every stage checked when "All" is selected.
• The AI edit confirmation now shows the real before-and-after changes instead of reporting "no changes."
• Asking for a ranked list, like your top submissions by issue count, now returns project cards instead of an unexpected chart.
• Deleted review drafts no longer reappear.
• Smoother keyboard navigation in the inbox and more reliable row clicks.

Improved

• The inbox filter bar now reads as one continuous line — the button to add a filter sits right after your active filters instead of on its own row.
• General performance improvements make lists and pages load faster.

Fixed

• Starting a new styleguide rule and then leaving no longer leaves behind an empty, untitled rule.
• When your inbox filters or search match nothing, you now see a clear "no results" message instead of a leftover item lingering beside it or a spinner that never finishes.
• Opening a specific inbox message from a direct link is more reliable and no longer occasionally loses your place.

Improved

• Refreshed the inbox: cleaner list rows, a new company badge on each thumbnail, and updated typography across the app for a crisper, more consistent look.
• Moving through the inbox with your keyboard now feels instant — the selection highlights the moment you press a key instead of lagging behind.

Fixed

• AI reviews no longer get stuck. If a review fails you can now retry it with a "Try again" button, and a review that's taking longer than usual shows a clear status and retries automatically instead of spinning forever.
• Marking a message as done no longer jumps you to a different message. It stays in place with its checkmark, and you can toggle it back to undone with the same key.

New

• Favourites now appear in the navigation sidebar. Anything you star shows up in a dedicated Favourites section, so you can jump straight back to it.

Improved

• Refreshed the inbox empty screens. You now get clearer messages — whether you've reached inbox zero or your filters are hiding everything — plus a "Reset all" action to quickly clear your search.
• When you mention a teammate in a comment, only people with access to that project are suggested.

Fixed

• Opening a favourite now works even when your current inbox filters would normally hide it.
• The inbox no longer flickers or drops titles and thumbnails while you're viewing completed items.
