v2026.07.2

Released 2026-07-31.

Features

• Drive and Slides are generally available. Both are on for every workspace, including Free — no experimental toggle to find, no badges. The only difference between plans is how much storage you get.
• Download a slide deck as PDF. Export from the editor and get one page per slide at the standard 16:9 size. Skipped slides are left out, and presenter notes stay private.
• Zoom and pan the slide canvas. Work at 50–300% or fit-to-screen, with Ctrl/Cmd + +/-/0, Ctrl/Cmd + scroll, trackpad pinch, and space-drag or middle-drag to pan. Resize handles now stay the same size on screen at any zoom, and arrow keys nudge the selected part (hold Shift for larger steps), so fine adjustments no longer require zooming in at all.
• Snapping and alignment guides. Dragging or resizing a part snaps it to the edges and centers of other parts and of the slide itself, and draws a guide line the moment things line up. Anything that doesn’t catch falls back to a light grid. Hold Alt to bypass it, or switch it off in the toolbar.
• Collapse the slide editor’s side panel. Pull the full-height handle at the panel’s edge to give its width back to the canvas. Your choice is remembered.
• Your storage usage is always in view. The Drive header now shows your plan, how much you’ve used, how much is left, your file count, and the per-file size limit — which previously only surfaced in an error message after a failed upload. It warns at 75% and turns red at 90%, and oversized files are now caught before the upload starts instead of after the transfer.
• Permanently delete from the trash. Delete a single file for good, or empty the trash in one go. Both are clearly separated from ordinary deletion and tell you exactly how many files and how much space are about to go, counted on the server rather than from what happens to be on screen.
• Put bank details on an invoice. Bank accounts are now a workspace-level list you manage in document settings and pick per document, instead of free text in the notes field. The details are frozen into the document when you issue it, so changing an account later never rewrites an invoice you’ve already sent.
• Per-line tax and a tax-rate breakdown on documents. Line items now carry a tax rate and tax amount, and a breakdown by rate — taxable amount and tax per rate — sits next to the totals, as Japanese invoice rules require. Line-level tax is a reference figure; if per-rate rounding makes the lines and the total disagree, the document says so instead of quietly differing.
• Minions can build slide decks with images. Minions can now upload images into a deck through the API, so they can produce decks with diagrams and screenshots without depending on an external URL.

Improvements

• Ask a minion for slides and it makes slides here. Minions were reaching for Google Slides for most presentation requests because the built-in deck API only appeared in documentation they had to go looking for. It’s now part of what every minion reads on startup, and going to an outside service is ruled out explicitly.
• Emoji render in PDFs. Slide, document, and accounting exports used to drop every emoji as blank space. They now come out as full-color images, with no network call at export time.
• Slide PDFs break lines where the editor does. Formatted HTML in a text part used to export with hard line breaks and stretched runs of spaces that weren’t on screen.
• Decks count toward your storage. A deck’s size is now the total of the images embedded in it, so decks show a real size in the file list and their images count against your quota like everything else. Both upload paths check your remaining space, which previously only enforced a per-image limit.
• Plan changes check your storage and seats. Downgrading now verifies that what you’re using fits the plan you’re moving to, on every path — including paid-to-paid changes, which weren’t checked at all. The billing page shows what you’d need to free up before you commit, rather than failing afterwards. Cancellations that come from Stripe still go through: you keep your files and your members, and only uploads and invitations pause until you’re back under the limit.

Removed

• File version history is gone. Its two halves never met — uploading a file under an existing name was rejected as a name conflict rather than creating a version, and the only endpoint that could create one had no button anywhere in the app. No file you can see was affected, and old versions no longer sit in storage uncounted. For text, notes keep their own history; for uploads, name files as you would elsewhere.

Fixes

• Deleting a folder no longer strands slide images. Permanently deleting a folder containing decks left their embedded images in storage forever, with no way left to reach them.
• The trash shows everything in it. It was filtered to the current folder while hiding folders entirely, so deleted files in subfolders were unreachable — and emptying the trash removed files that were never listed.
• Storage usage refreshes after deleting a folder.
• Restoring from the trash respects your quota. Deleted files stop counting immediately, so moving files to the trash could get you under a limit long enough to upload or switch plans, then restore them afterwards.
• A workspace’s plan can no longer be changed from the browser. A database policy let a workspace owner write their own subscription row directly, including setting the plan to the highest tier. Plan changes now only happen through billing.
