________________________

Choose to have a few lines of section text always show

Admins can choose to always show a few lines of section text, with a "More" button, instead of "View section text". Useful for new users (who may not know to click "View section text"), and for many text-only sections (so the guideline doesn't look empty).

Other layout updates

Section name can have font style (italic, superscript, subscript)
Date-time layout for English now as defaults to UK format (under Account Settings) - previously US format, but users can still choose to change to English (US)

________________________

See where/how many comments are in text in view mode

When you have comments in text, you now see an indicator in the text in view mode (speech bubble with three dots), and an indicator on the top level of the object (recommendation, PICO, or section) with the number of comments (speech bubble with number).

Set track changes as always-on for individual users in a guideline

All authors can now set track changes to be always on for themselves in a guideline. You can still turn track changes off manually when editing a text block. Admins can still set track changes as default for all authors.

________________________

See text without track changes, in preview mode

To view your text as if all track changes were accepted (added and delete text), without colours or styling, switch to preview mode. In preview mode you see the guideline as it will be published and viewed by public users.

Get total count of comments in text, track changes, and recommendation feedback

Get an overview of the number of things to address, to help admins keep track, in the activity log (note new bell icon): total comments in text, track changes, and number of unresolved (including unresolved and in progress) recommendation feedback.

Import GDT GradePro Evidence profiles

Import evidence profiles from GDT GradePro. There will be an option to export files from GDT, until then you have to follow the steps layed out here: http://help.magicapp.org/knowledgebase/articles/1979508

________________________

Export comments/replies for recommendations

Export all comments/replies from users in recommendations, as a CSV/Excel file, from the guideline settings menu. The export contains comment text, commenter's email, time stamp, and status (e.g., unresolved), as well as each reply.

Choose to have certainty included in the strength label of recommendations

Admins can choose to have the certainty show together with the strength label for recommendations. Certainty must be set in the EtD factor Certainty. This setting is available from the Guideline customization menu in Settings.
