Latest Release Notes (v7.1.6)

* Improved reliability by preventing crashes or hangs during handwriting recognition, page thumbnails, the study navigator, Library Search indexing, and large text-selection changes. * Better protection for your work: fixed sync cases where unshared documents stayed visible, local unsynced work could be removed after certain sync errors, and web audio recordings only appeared after reopening a document. * Fixed several image rendering issues where cached images, imported images, embedded thumbnail images, or updated child images could disappear or appear invisible. * Improved exported and previewed content: highlighter colors on dark paper now look correct, cropped screenshots stay cropped, and highlighter or tape content moves with handwriting during whiteboard reflow. * Fixed several toolbar and picker issues, including hidden bottom toolbars, inconsistent button colors, clipped eraser/font/line-height settings, missing Font back buttons, and popovers shifting when the keyboard is visible. * Improved navigation and window-layout polish, including tab bar gaps after leaving Split View, inconsistent back buttons, compact account-menu animation, Settings menu widths, and clipped dropdown values. * Improved text editing reliability: Enter works after IME composition on iPad, text document menus stay accessible in tight spaces, and text inside shapes no longer jumps when selected. * Fixed link, search, and sharing controls: clearing search no longer returns you to the Library, Remove Link stays visible above the keyboard, and unavailable sharing toggles no longer snap back abruptly. * Fixed visual issues in panels and popovers, including empty bookmarks overlapping headers, template metadata corners, iPhone document-action borders, outline modal backgrounds, transparent audio-list popovers, and the Mac inspiration gallery layout. * Education: Improved audio, study, and class flows: transcription highlighting continues until playback ends, duplicate Class Folders are prevented, and Practice study sets stay visible after a back-swipe gesture. * Fixed drawing and connector behavior: connector endpoints snap correctly, deleted elbow waypoints stay deleted, erasing unaffected content no longer changes Undo or Redo, and handwriting selection/reflow borders behave correctly. * Fixed an issue where calendar integration could appear signed out after restarting the app. * Image and media captions in text documents now work correctly with undo and redo. * Copying a video block from a text document into a Notebook now copies only the video URL. * General bug fixes and stability improvements.

# Design Brief: Soft & Friendly (with Enterprise Clean)

Warm low-saturation pastels, generous rounded corners, and approachable illustrations.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #ffffff;
  --surface: #f3f5f8;
  --foreground: #111827;
  --muted-foreground: #5b6471;
  --accent: #45bfe8;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FFFFFF (~65%) · Surface #F3F5F8 (~7%) · Text #111827 (~15%) · Muted Text #5B6471 (~8%) · Accent #45BFE8 (~5%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Headline Over Large Product Shot
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up
- Headline hook: Direct Action Command
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot
- Spatial layout notes: Headline Over Large Product Shot hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Soft & Friendly (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring headline over large product shot layout and product ui screenshot / component visuals.

## Avoid

- Harsh pure-black backgrounds
- Sharp 0px corners
- Cold technical jargon in hero copy

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
