# Product updates

> We bring you new features and fixes every month

<Update label="July">
  ## Automatically retry failed integration steps

  Temporary blips in connected tools shouldn't stall your workflows. For HTTP and Automations Library steps, Next Matter can automatically retry a step up to 3 times (with increasing delays) when it hits a safe, temporary failure - for example a connection error, a rate limit, or a short-lived server error. We don't auto-retry failures where a retry might create a duplicate side effect.

  New HTTP and Automations Library steps have **Automatically retry on failure** on by default. For existing steps, open the step settings and turn the toggle on if you want this behavior. Leave it off for steps that must run exactly once (for example, sending a message or creating a ticket).

  ## Make the important checklist items mandatory

  Checklists got stricter - in a good way. You can now mark individual checklist items as mandatory or optional, increasing the flexibility of checklists to allow for specific entries to be required or not, with a clear indication to users per checklist entry.

  ## Delegation rules for conditional and dynamic assignees

  Automated delegation now works on steps with conditional or dynamic assignment as well. Set who should (or shouldn't) take over a task even when the assignee is decided at runtime.

  For details, see [Automated delegation](/docs/automated-delegation)

  ## Improvements and fixes

  * **Find instances by active step and assignee** - Filter the workflow overview by the active step and who's currently assigned, so you can jump straight to the work that needs attention. For details, see [Instance overview table](/docs/work-with-process-overview)
  * **Out of office for light users** - Light users can set out of office and pick a stand-in, so their tasks keep moving when they're away. For details, see [Out of office](/docs/set-out-of-office)
  * **Open task counts at a glance** - Tab headers show how many open tasks you have, so the next piece of work is easier to spot.
  * **Quieter morning digests** - The morning email digest is off by default for new users; opt in if you want the summary.
  * **Data references in links** - Fixed a bug where data references inside link URLs could get corrupted.

<Update label="June">
  ## The visual editor is now the default

  Building workflows just got easier. The visual editor - our drag-and-drop way to design workflows - is now the default for everyone, giving you a clearer, more intuitive canvas to build on.

  For details, see [Visual builder](/docs/flowchart-view)

  ## New integration: Azure OpenAI

  You can now bring Azure OpenAI into your workflows to analyze text and generate content with AI, using your own Azure deployment.

  For details, see [Analyze text code-free with AI](/docs/analyze-text-code-free-with-ai)

  ## Multi-value dropdowns in data tables

  Data table dropdowns now support multiple values, so a single cell can hold more than one selected option - perfect for tags, categories, and other multi-select inputs.

  For details, see [Single and multi-select dropdowns](/docs/single-and-multi-select-dropdowns)

  ## Custom API key credentials for HTTP integrations

  Connecting custom HTTP integrations is more flexible: you can now create a credential that sends your API key in a custom header, and reuse it securely across workflows.

  For details, see [API keys](/docs/api-keys)

  ## Improvements and fixes

  * **Quieter inboxes** - Team email notifications are now off by default for new team members, so people opt in to what they want.
</Update>

<Update label="May">
  ## New integration: Claude

  Anthropic's Claude is now available as an AI step. Add it to your workflows to summarize, draft, and analyze text right where the work happens.

  For details, see [Analyze text code-free with AI](/docs/analyze-text-code-free-with-ai)

  ## Connect multiple accounts to the same integration

  You can now connect more than one account to a single integration and choose which one a step should use. Great for teams that work across multiple workspaces, regions, or client accounts.

  ## Narrow user-selection fields to the right teams

  When you add a user-selection form field, you can now limit the choices to members of specific teams - so people only ever pick from the right group.

  For details, see [User selection](/docs/user-selection)

  ## Filter and sort your portal requests

  Portal users can now filter and sort both the My requests and Team requests tables, making it much easier to find the right request in a long list.

  For details, see [My requests](/docs/my-requests)

  ## A fresh look for the Automations Library

  We redesigned the Automations Library navigation around a clean sidebar, so finding integrations, credentials, and automations is faster and more intuitive.

  ## Improvements and fixes

  * **Switch workspaces anywhere** - Move between workspaces from the sidebar and on mobile.
  * **Smarter retries** - Retry a failed integration step using a different connected account.
</Update>

<Update label="April">
  ## Pull structured data from documents with LlamaParse

  A new LlamaParse integration lets you extract clean, structured data from PDFs and other documents - so you can feed real content from files straight into your workflows.

  ## New integration: Microsoft Fabric

  Connect your workflows to Microsoft Fabric to move and work with your data across Microsoft's analytics platform.

  ## Improvements and fixes

  * **More reliable SharePoint files** - "Shared with me" file lookups now use the Microsoft Graph Search API for more dependable results.
  * **Faster workflow lists** - Loading and opening your workflow overview is noticeably quicker.
</Update>

<Update label="March">
  ## New integration: Scribe

  Connect to Scribe to pull in and approve reports as part of your workflow, bringing your documentation process into Next Matter.

  ## Improvements and fixes

  * **Cleaner validation** - Dropdown fields validate correctly after being reset.
</Update>

<Update label="February">
  ## Smarter AI steps with OpenAI

  Our OpenAI integration gained powerful new capabilities: web search, file search, and a code interpreter. That means your AI steps can look things up, read your files, and run calculations - all within a workflow.

  For details, see [Analyze text code-free with AI](/docs/analyze-text-code-free-with-ai)

  ## Improvements and fixes

  * **Prefill predefined tables dynamically** - Populate table inputs from data references, so the right rows are ready before a user even starts.
  * **More flexible dates** - Date fields now accept a wider range of date formats from your data sources.
  * **Polished portals** - Transparent portal cover images now display on a clean background.
