What's new
The newest changes in this Guide.
- NewSigned-in readers of a Google sign-in Share can now copy its text to paste into an AI chat, or make a one-hour link their AI can read. Open the Reader menu on the page. If you own the Share, you can turn this off for it with the Allow AI reading switch in Access settings.
- NewFull Send lets one chat work without asking about anything, sensitive files included. Pick it from the arrow next to Allow, or from Chat permissions in the chat menu. Yardmaster warns you first, shows a red badge while it is on (click it to turn it off), and turns it off when the chat ends or the app restarts. "Allow everything in this chat" now says plainly that it still asks before passwords, keys and logins.
And 67 more changes.
- NewA Share can now turn on Auto-refresh, so people who have a live dashboard open see each new version on their own within about 30 seconds.
- NewA Share can be set to Google sign-in, so it opens only for people from the email domains you list, or for people you name one by one.
And 20 more changes.
- NewA Share series can now have a Full build homepage, an original page written after reading the series in full, next to the Quick and AI-designed choices.
