Autosave is back where it belongs 💾

This release is mostly about one thing: your work being on disk when you think it is.

Autosave, fixed 💾

If a document came back from a session switch or a restored workspace, autosave quietly stopped for that tab. The tab looked completely normal, and the file on disk never changed. That's fixed — those documents autosave again from the first edit.

While we were in there:

• The tab now tells the truth. It used to say "Saved" whenever an autosave finished, even if the export or the write had failed. It now shows Not saved in red, and the save confirmation only appears when the bytes actually reached disk.

• Documents the assistant edits autosave too.

• Converted .doc files no longer report a successful save when the write didn't go through.

Nothing lost on quit

• Add a document to a workspace and quit straight away, and the tab is still there when you reopen it. Previously anything added in the last minute was dropped.

• After Save As on an untitled document, the quit prompt no longer asks whether you want to save "Untitled".

Highlights Word and DocuSign accept 🖍️

There was no way to remove a highlight in Donna, so people picked white — which wrote a colour value Word tolerates and strict readers don't. Contracts came back rejected by DocuSign.

• No highlight now sits at the top of both highlight menus and actually removes the highlight, including highlights that come from a character style in a firm template.

• The palette is now Word's own 15 highlight colours, in Word's order. White is gone, because it was never really a colour anyone wanted.

• Every save now quietly repairs invalid highlight values, so a document damaged by an earlier build is fixed the next time you save it.

Account and navigation move up into the title bar

Your account lives on the far right of the title bar now — click it for Settings or Sign out. Both have left the bottom of the side nav. Back and forward are now full arrows sitting just right of the window buttons, and the Donna button (which only ever took you Home) is gone.

Spelling suggestions in the in-app browser

Right-click a misspelled word in a browser tab and you get the corrections and Add to dictionary, instead of just Copy. On macOS, where the browser keeps its suggestions to itself, Donna's own checker fills them in.

The assistant can read the files it opens

Ask it to open two documents and quote from them and it now actually reads them, rather than insisting it can only see your empty Untitled tab. If you point it at a PDF, it says the document tools can't work on it instead of going quiet.

Also fixed 🐛

• The save icon shows the right state when a document is first opened.

• Ruler and footnote/endnote fixes in the document editor.
