* **Easier Access to Grid Creation**: Users can now create grids from multiple locations, including:
  * Home screen → **Add New** button

* **Smart icon removal** – Icons are hidden first when a column is squeezed, preserving text visibility for as long as possible.
* **Seamless column dragging** – The drag handle icon is removed; simply use the hand cursor to reposition columns.
* **Improved readability** – If a column shrinks to a single character, hovering over it reveals the full name in a tooltip.

These enhancements improve efficiency when setting up **Filters and Conditions**.

### <mark style="color:purple;">**Duplicate Grid Option**</mark>

We’ve improved the **Duplicate Grid** functionality for a more seamless experience across all grid types.

  * **Duplicate Global Grid with users**
  * **Duplicate Global Grid without users**\
    If assigned to all users, the **Manage Grid** pop-up opens directly.

  <figure><img src="/files/NZwVYFXAWQtiFR94QnQt" alt=""><figcaption><p>Duplicate a global grid</p></figcaption></figure>

* **Custom, Report, and Salesforce View Grids**:

  * The pop-up is titled **"Duplicate Grid"** and auto-fills the grid name as **"Grid Name Copy"** before opening the **Manage Grid** pop-up.

  <figure><img src="/files/xZQV4CJRR3aeyGQIQDTV" alt=""><figcaption><p>Duplicate a grid</p></figcaption></figure>

This enhancement simplifies grid duplication, ensures consistency across grid types, and improves workflow efficiency.

### <mark style="color:purple;">**Error Highlighting in Matrix Runtime Mode**</mark>

To help users quickly identify errors after saving updates in Matrix runtime mode, we've improved error visibility:

* **Highlighted errors**: Cells with errors will have a red border or background for easy identification.
* **Error indicators**: An error icon or message will appear next to affected records.
* **Detailed error info**: Hovering or clicking on an error will display more details about the issue.

## 🐞 <mark style="color:blue;">Bug Fixes</mark>

We've addressed several issues in this update to improve your experience. Here are the details of the bug fixes included:

* **Unique Naming for New Matrices**\
  Resolved an issue where newly created matrices were given a generic name (“Matrix”). Now, a unique number is appended to ensure distinct names.
* **Admin Role Promotion Fixed**\
  Resolved an issue where admins could not promote other users to admin. Now, admins can promote or demote users as **Admin, Designer, or Standard**. Designers can only promote Standard users to Designers, and Standard users cannot change roles.
* **Matrix – Aggregated Values Change on Refresh**\
  Fixed an issue where aggregated data in the Matrix changed unexpectedly each time the refresh button was used.
* **Matrix Migration – IPC Should Not Be Migrated**\
  Resolved a bug where IPC Matrices were being migrated. Now, only Global Matrices are included in the migration.
* **Date Time Discrepancy After Time Zone Change**\
  Corrected a mismatch between the Date Time cell and the date picker when the user changed their Salesforce time zone.
* **Dependent Picklist Not Loading When Parent Field Is Out of Viewport**\
  Fixed an issue where the dependent picklist failed to load values if the parent field was scrolled out of view.
* **Conditional Formatting Not Applied to Boolean Fields in L2**\
  Resolved a bug where conditional formatting didn’t apply to Boolean fields in L2 related records if the lookup field was empty.
