Fixed a bug that would only display a blank sidebar
Here we will publish the latest changes and bugfixes that went live.
In case you are using the Office add-in and are not seeing the current version (or something seems broken, e.g. white screens), please try to clear your Internet Explorer / Microsoft Edge cache. |
We are rolling updates out in waves - usually the Office Add-In is first, while the COM Add-In will come a bit later. Also, we do have different release channels, so there also might be a delay. We’ll have an option in the future to change the release channel and to force check for a new version.
Release channel | Office Add-in | COM-Addin |
|---|---|---|
Default | 4.3.6 | 4.3.6 |
Fast / Preview | 4.3.6 | 4.3.6 |

Please note: this only applies when you don’t use the text selection to create an issue, text selection always takes precedence.
Updated the iOS and Android version of the add-in to use the desktop code. Previously iOS and Android would use a very old version, which did not have the latest fixes. Usability will be a bit less mobile optimized than before, but more custom fields are supported and connectivity is much improved. In case you notice any UI glitches, please reach out to our support.

You can read more about this in our help article here: https://yasoon.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/resumedraft.action?draftId=649691137.
