Exciting update that continues on our process to revamp the platform for 2026, cleaner, clearer, faster and much more user centric.

NEW: Collaborate Visually on PDFs, PSDs, AIs, JPGs, PNGs and DWGs.

We've rebuilt our Graphic Feedback tool and enabled a whole bunch of new capabilities, including:

• Clear Revision Rounds - When you know how many rounds a design took to get to completion, the work speeds up naturally.
• Scrollable interface - Ideal for fast feedback, with no scrolling around on an open canvas or going in and out of files to add comments.
• Figma Plugin - 1 minute handoff directly from within Figma.

NEW: Client & Guests flow.

Clients, stakeholders and guests can now add their feedback with much fewer steps and still get notified for every change to the project.

Leaning into their desired experience: "I want to give feedback and get the F out of there".

• Waaaay less features - Reducing overwhelm and providing them with focus on giving you feedback and that's it.
• Land on the project - Instead of a prompt to register, they can now click around, see other comments and tasks, and only when they are ready to interact, a small, in-flow, popover opens in place asking for name and email JUST so they can get notifications. Nothing else.
• 90 days session - As soon as a client/stakeholder provided their name and email address, they will be able to add feedback with no additional steps for the next 90 days.
• Reuse the same email with no login - Even if a client used an email address before, they will not be asked to set or insert a password. They can reuse the email, since we're not creating an actual user for them.

Improvements to Existing Features

Fixed sidebar minimize hiding AI comments in Chrome extension

Previously, minimizing the sidebar in the Chrome extension would switch to "Browse mode", hiding both the chat UI and AI comments. The minimize control now correctly collapses only the chat sidebar while keeping AI comments visible on the page, matching the behavior of in-app URL based colalboration experience.

Fixed scroll container detection on custom scroll sites

Resolved an issue where sites using custom scroll containers (non-document-level scrolling) would break mouse wheel/trackpad scrolling in the sidebar task list and prevent proper scroll-to-task navigation. The scroll detection logic now correctly identifies and attaches to the right scroll container, restoring smooth scrolling and task positioning on these sites.

Added word-break to comment hover previews

Long, unbroken text in the copy-on-hover preview of comments now wraps correctly instead of overflowing the container, improving readability for URLs and other lengthy strings.

Bug Fixes

Fixed missing close icon for modal in Chrome extension

The project selection/creation modal in the Chrome extension was missing its close button, leaving users with no way to dismiss it. A close (X) button has been added to the top-right corner, and selecting a project now also correctly closes the modal.

Fixed empty project selection modal from pinned Chrome extension icon

When opening the project selection modal via the pinned Chrome extension icon, the project list would appear empty until the user manually refreshed the dashboard. The modal now correctly loads and displays the full list of projects immediately without requiring a page refresh.

This release is all about tightening the screws. We’ve tackled a batch of bugs across collaboration, AI, and integrations.

Making things smoother, more predictable, and less glitchy for everyone.

Bug Fixes

• Browse Mode now works properly in tablet and mobile preview.

• The “Add page for review” button no longer disappears when you have multiple pages in the sidebar.

• You can now use the Tab key to quickly select @mentions while typing comments. Nice and smooth.

• Collaboration links now handle missing or invalid projects gracefully, instead of breaking.

• Fixed an issue where the injectable script couldn’t be retrieved, preventing collaboration from loading.

• Tasks no longer disappear from the design canvas when changing priority, status, or internal visibility. No refresh needed anymore.

• Edited comments now update in real time, without delays.

• The Slack integration layout in Settings has been cleaned up and properly aligned.

• AI reviews now run correctly for new user signups. No more silent first impressions.

• Improved the contributors list to prevent endless auto-loading and make it faster and more reliable.

• The Inbox now clearly shows email recipients, so you know exactly who’s included.

• Integration screens no longer show static or misleading messages.

• Fixed the scan animation during page reviews so it runs smoothly again.
• Enterprise: Form Page titles were showing even when disabled in settings — they now respect your preferences.

• Enterprise: Form submissions can now be exported successfully, as expected.

This is a clarity and reliability release. You’ll see a lot of focus on streamlining the AI experience, smoothing out workflows across the dashboard and some additional preparation for the rebuilt Graphic Feedback Tool that is coming very soon!

New AI Upgrades

• Reasoning on reviews made the AI way more accurate while inspecting deep or detailed QA processes.
• Message streaming on reviews sped us the planning steps with Claro by 2.3X.

(Streaming text in realtime)

• Better understanding of uploaded files (images and docs) as reference for the AI, which helps the results be a lot more accurate.
• We killed (almost) all duplicate comments that come through the AI team, reducing info overload and more accurate actions to work by.
• Using Canned Prompts just got better, allowing you to skip the strategic debate and have the agents get to the review after they reason with themselves - 1 click repeatable QA and reviews??? We're there!

(Quick+Consistent QA & Reviews with Canned Prompts)

Improvements to existing features

• Cleaned up the registration flow for better first-time experience.
• On the WordPress plugin / Chrome Extension / Embeded Script: The Atarim widget (when collapsed) was too much in the way for pro users and not visible enough for less savvy users. It now has different states based on the user role - So everyone is happy :)
• You can now Delete a Page through the Pages tab in the sidebar (only Admins)

• Improved style to the team invite modal and user profile.
• Upgraded some of the icons in the task popovers and the sidebar.
• Enterprise: On the Intake Forms you can now add basic HTML to field labels for more flexibility.

Bug Fixes

• Some tasks in the sidebar wouldnt open when clicked. This is now fixed.
• When deleting a folder, if the deletion failed, there's now a proper error message.
• on Grpahic Projects, clicking on the "Go To Task" button in the Inbox and Kanbard boards wasnt working properly. This is now fixed (Full new version of the Graphic Feedback Tool is coming sooooon).
• For some accounts, assignment of team members into a project sometimes changed their role. This is now fixed.

As we kick off the year the team is already cooking!

Many of these were specifically requested by you! Thank you and keep it coming💪

New Features:

Upload Files for AI Reviews

You can now upload up to 5 files to ask the AI to reference or check against when running an AI review. This is great for compliace checks and quick QA before shipping the work.

And asked the AI to find any mismatches between the uploaded files and the current page:

Due Dates on Tasks

Here’s what’s new:

🤖 AI Review Improvements

• Clearer, more accurate AI screenshots - AI reviews now avoid over-scrolling at the bottom of long pages and include a stabilizing delay between frames. This prevents blurred or cut-off screenshots.
• Better guidance before running AI - If your page has cookie banners or pop-ups that may block the view, Atarim now warns you before the AI review begins — helping you get clean, usable results every time.
• More reliable AI restriction behavior - Switching browser tabs no longer interrupts AI-related permissions or settings.
• Refined onboarding for first-time AI usage - Updated tutorial language makes it easier to understand how AI reviews work from the very first run.

📱 More Accurate Responsive Feedback

• Mobile + tablet context added to general tasks - Tasks now correctly capture and display screen dimensions across all device sizes. This ensures your team always knows where the issue occurred.

✨ UX & Interface Polish

🏷️ Branding & White-Labeling

• Fixed: AI settings inside the Reviews and Chats weren’t saving correctly. Discovery notes and preferences now stick.

• Fixed: Invites from additional workspaces didn’t appear in the Pending tab. They now show up consistently.

And yes - your AI teammates (Inner Circle) are all getting better, faster, and more helpful every week. 🙌🤘
