Release v5.17.11

Getting started

  • New accounts now walk through a guided setup with Operator — connect your tools, bring in or create your first goals, and take a short welcome tour, all inside one conversation instead of bouncing between screens.
  • Signing up is quicker: use a magic link instead of a password, and a shared invite link now takes you straight to the right workspace instead of losing your invite code along the way.

Operator

  • Operator's chat now remembers where you left it — reopen the app and a docked conversation picks back up right where it was, instead of resetting.
  • Full-screen Operator now returns you to where you launched it from when you're done, instead of dropping you somewhere else.
  • Operator's suggested reply buttons clear away once you've picked one, and prompts that navigate you somewhere now show up as clear "go here" cards instead of looking like just another suggestion.
  • The animated Operator character — including its welcome greeting — is now available to everyone.

Goals & views

  • Goal lists and cadence lists load and scroll noticeably faster, especially in larger workspaces.
  • Fixed an issue where expanding and collapsing a goal in the list could feel sluggish.
  • Cadence health scores now show fractional detail instead of always rounding to a whole number.

Integrations

  • Fixed an issue where a broken integration connection could only be reconnected, not removed — you can now delete it and start clean.
  • Fixed a display issue where a working Linear integration could appear broken even though updates were syncing correctly.

Account & branding

  • Fixed an issue where some customer workspaces showed Brev's own logo and brand color instead of the org's own uploaded branding.

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where dialogs could get stuck open after being closed once.
  • Fixed goal check-ins and progress numbers from deleted goals occasionally still appearing
  • Fixed a case where an editable field's permission error could crash the whole page instead of failing gracefully.
  • Tightened link-rendering safety in Operator's citations.
