Sampling Reports, Workpaper Column Editing, and Large-File Processing Fixes
PDF sampling reports on export, edit workpaper columns via Co-Audit Chat, and improved handling of large and specially-encoded files.
Workpaper Sampling
- Saving selection data now generates a PDF sampling report alongside the Excel file. Click "Save Data" after setting up a Random, MUS, or Journal Entry sample and a formatted report is produced automatically. It includes a summary table, population breakdown chart, and method-specific parameters — plus the per-test hit-count table and Benford's Law histogram for Journal Entry testing (when that test is enabled).
- Sampling reports are bundled into all workpaper exports. Every export format — Workpaper Only, Files + Workpaper (.xlsx), and Files + Workpaper (.zip) — automatically includes the relevant sampling sheets and PDF reports.
- The Benford's Law histogram is now interactive. Click the chart to expand it to fullscreen for a closer view. You can also adjust how many digit pairs are flagged as anomalous directly from the fullscreen view.
- When you reopen the selection data dialog to edit an existing random sample, your previous filter settings are preserved.
Co-Audit Chat
- Edit existing workpaper columns without deleting and recreating them. You can now ask Co-Audit to update an existing column's name, prompt, data type, or pass/fail icons — the change applies in place, preserving the column's position and history.
- Choose how AI columns analyze files per row. When asking Co-Audit to add an AI prompt column or testing attribute column, you can specify whether the AI should evaluate each file individually or summarize across all files for a given row.
File Processing
- Very large spreadsheet and CSV files now process correctly. Files such as journal entry exports with 50,000 or more rows were previously rejected as too complex to read. These files now upload and extract text successfully.
- CSV files with accented letters, special characters, or files created with European regional settings now process correctly. Files that previously failed to upload due to encoding issues will now work.
Workpaper Automations
- Running all automations on a workpaper is more reliable. A performance issue that caused automation runs to fail silently on large workpapers has been resolved.
Task Management
- Save any task as a reusable template from the breadcrumb menu at the top of any task page (auditor only). Set a name, description, visibility (Personal, Firm-wide, or Global), and tags. The dialog previews the task's structure and warns you if a template with the same name already exists, giving you the option to overwrite.
- Client users can submit their completed workpaper for auditor review from the task overview page. If the task is already in review, they can return it to To Do.
Other Improvements
- Keyboard shortcut for task search. Press Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F on Mac) on the engagement board to open the search bar without clicking the icon.
- Edited comments are now marked. Comments that have been modified show an "Edited" label; hovering over it shows the exact date and time of the last edit.
- Drag files directly onto the engagement library panel to upload without opening the file picker dialog.
- ZIP files uploaded to the engagement library are automatically extracted — each file inside is added as a separate document.
