Items in this release:

1. Basic Form Builder:
   • Tooltips for Side Toggles: 
     • Hover over the icons on the left and right sides of the Basic Form Builder to see tooltips explaining what each panel does (e.g., "Add," "Mobile Outline," "Field," "Typography").
   • Auto-Build (Beta): 
     • The backend for the Auto-Build feature has been upgraded with a new job queue for better performance and reliability when processing PDFs.
2. Bug Fixes & Improvements:
   • Forms & Submissions:
     • Fixed an issue where the "Select All" checkbox was not visible on the Deleted Submissions page,
     • Resolved a bug where deleting submissions from the Advanced Search results page did not ask for confirmation,
     • Fixed an issue where Reference Data files containing special or non-English characters (e.g., José, Müller, 北京) could lose those characters upon upload or sync from Google Drive,
     • Addressed a bug in the Submission V3 API that could cause a system crash when creating a submission containing Loop Screens with a specific format.
   • User Management & Billing:
     • Billing Page Stability: 
       • Resolved an error that prevented the Billing page from loading for companies with no enabled administrators.
   • Mobile & Dispatch:
     • Dispatch Calendar Events: 
       • Calendar invites (.ics files) sent from Dispatches now correctly display the event time in the recipient's local timezone, 
       • Additionally, "Repeat Dispatch" now correctly creates recurring calendar events.
     • Mobile Submission Crash: 
       • Fixed a crash that occurred on mobile apps when a form's Email Settings contained only empty spaces or tabs. The system now clears invalid entries.
   • UI/UX & Text:

     • Fixed broken "Learn More" links for Reference Data and Reference Images on the form field settings page.
