Key points
- 👀 Live collaborators in shared chats. The top bar of a chat now shows the pictures of the other people who have the same chat open at that moment, up to three and a count for the rest, with a Collaborators list that opens their profile cards.
- ✏️ Edit and regenerate in shared chats with replies. In a chat from a shared folder that allows replies, people who may edit messages can now edit a prompt to start a new branch and regenerate any reply, not only replies to their own messages, and others viewing the chat stay on the branch they had selected.
- 💭 Comments in document previews. Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files opened in the terminal file browser now show their comments and replies, marked where they belong in the document and opened by hovering or tapping a marker, and older .xls spreadsheets can now be previewed too.
- 🧹 Clear Input Selections shortcut. Clearing the model override, selected tools and filters and the web search, image generation and code interpreter toggles from the chat input is now a shortcut you can change in Settings > Shortcuts, still Escape by default.
