Export Chat to Word & Engagement Disambiguation

Download task chat conversations as Word documents, resolve duplicate engagement identifiers, and several chat and request-table fixes.

New Features

  • Export chat to Word: Download the full conversation from any task chat as a .docx file — available in the three-dot menu in the task chat sidebar.
  • Engagement disambiguation: When multiple engagements share the same short identifier (e.g. ACME-2025), navigating to that engagement now shows a disambiguation screen listing each match with its client name and audit period. Open the right engagement directly or jump to its settings from the same screen.

Improvements

  • AI analysis performance: Workpaper AI runs now process document pages more efficiently, reducing wait times for large or complex files.
  • FSR year detection: Tables with ambiguous year references are classified more accurately, reducing mismatches during financial statement review.

Bug Fixes

  • Chat overflow: Long URLs and text in chat messages now wrap correctly instead of overflowing or being clipped.
  • Requests with files counter: The "Requests with files" count in the request table now stays accurate after uploading files individually rather than in bulk.

Faster search and more reliable automations

Document search results appear sooner, automations fail less often, and file processing is more resilient.

  • Faster search results — Document search results are now available sooner after file upload, with more precise page-level matches.
  • More reliable automations — Multi-step automation workflows are less likely to fail silently, especially on engagements with many workpapers running concurrently.
  • Improved name matching — Automations are better at identifying the same entity across different documents, reducing false mismatches.
  • Fewer processing failures — Documents with unusual formatting or large text blocks are less likely to fail during upload processing.

Word Export, Revamped Board Export Modal

Copilot can now generate Word documents, and the board export modal has been redesigned with separate Status Report and Files + Workpapers sections.

New Features

  • Word document export from Copilot: Ask Copilot to generate a Word (.docx) file — it will produce a formatted document from your conversation and deliver it as a download button directly in the chat. Supports headings, lists, and tables.

Improvements

  • Redesigned board export: The export button now opens a modal with two distinct sections:
    • Status Report — export tasks to Excel filtered by one or more statuses. Client users see requests labeled accordingly and cannot include backlog items.
    • Files + Workpapers (auditors only) — choose your format: a .zip archive compatible with the Citations Excel Add-in, a single .xlsx with embedded files, or a workpapers-only .xlsx. Workpaper sheets now include threaded Excel comments drawn from task activity at the cell, row, and file level.
  • Cleaner export experience in chat: After Copilot generates an Excel or Word file, a download button appears in the chat — no stray or broken download links.
