Release Notes for Desktop Web App 2

2023-06-23 12:21:34 UTC

We are doing rolling releases on this platform, which means that each change will be released and available as soon as it's finished and tested and we will update this page end of each week that contains any changes.

New options will never show up in your app unless you actively contact Visiolink and request them.

New improvements and fixes will affect your app next time it's rebuild. 

We will rebuild apps whenever there are changes to them (usually as part of a project) and do bulk updates in set intervals every 3 months. The bulk updates will happen the first week of March, June, September, December. 

The full list of available customization options can be found here.
