What’s new in Sensra.

Every update we release, newest first. Each entry says what changed for you. Features still in progress are on the Experimental page.

  1. Safer account changes

    • Improved

      Deleting your account now asks for your current password, and we email you the date it will happen and how to cancel.

    • Fixed

      After you sign in, Sensra only returns you to pages on Sensra.

    • Improved

      Removing a member who had many threads assigned is now quick, and experimental features stay available more reliably for everyone.

    • Fixed

      On phones, tapping a link in the menu could look like nothing happened while the next page loaded. The menu now stays open with the link marked until the page is ready.

    • Improved

      A thin line at the top of the screen shows a page is loading after you tap or click a link, on every page.

    • Improved

      Buttons and links respond to a tap straight away on touch screens.

    • Improved

      The website and the app now both follow your device's light or dark setting, so Sensra looks the same wherever you are.

    • Improved

      Prefer the other look? Use the theme switch: Sensra remembers it on that device. Switch back to your device's look to follow its setting again.

  2. A calmer sidebar

    • Improved

      The sidebar is simpler. Your workspace sits next to the Sensra logo: choose its name to switch workspaces. Search everything with the search button next to New project, or press ⌘K (Ctrl K on Windows).

    • Improved

      Only counts that need you are shown: unread Inbox items and comments in My work.

    • Improved

      Templates and Activity are now tabs at the top of the Projects page.

    • Improved

      Help groups the Help Center, Contact Support and What's new in one place. Choose your name for storage, account settings and Sign out. Storage also appears in the sidebar once you've used 80% of your plan.

    • New

      Collapse the sidebar to icons with the button at its bottom to give your work more room. Sensra remembers your choice on that device.

    • New

      AI summaries draft a summary of a file's comments, suggest action items, or summarize a document's extracted text. Open a file, choose Insights, then Summarize feedback, Suggest action items or Summarize document. Every point links to the comments it came from. Summaries are drafts: check them before you rely on them. They never change your comments or assign anything.

    • New

      The comments, or the extracted text, are sent to an outside AI service only when you ask. Names and the file name aren't sent. It's an experiment: a workspace owner on Pro or Team turns it on in Settings, under Experimental. Pro includes 50 requests a month and Team 200. Opening a summary you already made doesn't count.

  3. A calmer comments panel

    • Improved

      Comments come first in the comments panel. Each thread shows two lines of its first comment and one short line underneath with its number, who it's assigned to, its due date, labels and replies. Status tags appear only when there is something to say, such as Resolved or Fixed.

    • Improved

      An open thread shows the conversation and the reply box first. Assignee, due date, priority, category, status and labels are listed underneath in one tidy column.

    • Improved

      Filters and sorting sit behind a single Filters button next to search, which shows how many filters are on.

    • Improved

      Resolve, the thread menu and Edit or Delete on a comment appear when you point at a thread or move to it with the keyboard. On touch screens they're always shown.

    • Fixed

      Upgrading a workspace that shows the Free plan could stop with "This item changed or isn't ready yet." It now goes through. If a workspace really does already have a subscription, Sensra says so and links to Plan and billing.

    • New

      Upgrading has its own page. Choose Upgrade in Plan and billing, or a plan on the pricing page, to compare Pro and Team side by side, add storage or editors, and see your total before you pay.

    • Improved

      Changing a paid plan now shows what changes, the new total and when it takes effect, and asks you to confirm before anything is charged.

    • Improved

      If you leave the payment page without paying, you come back to the upgrade page, and nothing is charged.

    • Improved

      Plan and billing is easier to read: your price and renewal date at the top, usage side by side, and a full editor count is no longer shown as a warning.

    • Improved

      Light mode is now white with neutral greys across the website and the app, so the files you review keep their true colours. Dark mode is unchanged.

    • Fixed

      Read text in pictures too now also reads the words inside photos, screenshots and graphics placed on a page, and markers like img-0.jpeg no longer appear in the extracted text.

  4. Read text inside pictures

    • Improved

      Text recognition can now read the words inside pictures on pages that already contain some text. After reading a PDF, choose Read text in pictures too. It sends each page (up to 10) to text recognition, and each one counts toward this month's allowance.

    • New

      Text recognition reads the text in a PDF or an image, page by page, so you can read and copy it next to the file. Open a file, choose Insights, then Extract text. It's an experiment: a workspace owner on Pro or Team turns it on in Settings, under Experimental.

    • New

      PDFs that already contain text are read for free. Scanned pages and images are sent to an outside recognition service and count toward a monthly allowance: 100 pages on Pro and 500 on Team. If recognition fails, nothing is counted.

    • New

      Website capture takes a screenshot of a public web page on desktop, tablet and mobile, so your team can comment on it like any other file. Open Websites in a project to start. It's an experiment: a workspace owner on Pro or Team turns it on in Settings, under Experimental.

    • New

      Pro includes 25 captures a month and Team 100, one per device. A capture that fails doesn't count. Pages that need a sign-in, and sites only reachable over IPv6, can't be captured.

  5. Sign in with a passkey

    • New

      Sign in with a passkey instead of typing your email and password. Add one in Account settings, then choose it when you sign in, or pick it from your browser's suggestions in the email field. If you use two-step sign-in, you'll still enter your code.

    • New

      Security emails. We email you when your password or email address changes, when an authenticator app is added or removed, and when a passkey is added or removed.

    • Improved

      Changing the email address on your account now asks for your current password, so someone using a device you left signed in can't take your account over.

    • Improved

      Reliability and security improvements behind the scenes.

  6. Two-step sign-in

    • New

      Add an authenticator app, like 1Password, Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator, in Account settings. After your password, Sensra then asks for the code it shows, so a password alone can't open your account. Turning it on is optional.

    • New

      Sign out of your other devices from Account settings, for example after using a shared computer. You stay signed in where you are.

    • New

      This page. Every update we release now gets an entry here, listing what's new, what's improved and what's fixed.

    • Improved

      A workspace can now have a limited number of unfinished uploads at once (at least 10, more on larger plans). If you reach it, Sensra says so: let the current uploads finish, or try again in a couple of hours.

  7. Fairer sign-in protection

    • Fixed

      Someone typing wrong passwords for your email can no longer lock you out. Sign-in limits now count attempts per email and per network address, with a wider cap per email to stop guessing.

    • Improved

      Reliability and security improvements behind the scenes.

    • Improved

      Each project has its own colour on the dashboard, so it's easier to tell them apart.

    • Improved

      New illustrations and motion across the website, and the same page effects in every browser.

    • Improved

      Long discussion threads can be collapsed, so you can see more of the file and the comments around it.

    • Fixed

      Pressing Space on a focused button in the review room now presses the button instead of scrolling the page.

    • New

      A new look for the website and the dashboard, with a clearer sidebar and project tabs.

    • Improved

      Background work, such as due-date reminder emails, now starts when it's due instead of waiting for the next scheduled check.

  8. Sensra is live

    • New

      Share files with clients, collect comments on the exact spot, track each fix and get an approval on every version. Start with a Free workspace, no credit card needed.
