We strongly advise updating all devices to the latest build across all platforms.
Hub API Integration
Hub back end has been redesigned to increase the stability, security and overall performance of the cloud-based workflows.
Free Text Labels
Labels now have the option of becoming free text labels. This allows users to enter custom free text to their tags as labels without having to add them to their template first. Auto-fill suggestions will be provided based on session data.
For Free Text Labels, the only purpose of the Label Name field is manipulating the visual appearance of the label in the template. The label value is always determined by the text input entered into the prompt that appears upon the activation of the label. Functionality of the Label Group field remains unchanged.
Workflow Improvements
Selected timeline tags can be synced to the current position of the playhead.
Tag selection dropdown in the Sync Tags dialog is now searchable.
Users can now export a Focus Session JSON file containing session data. Importing such a file replaces all data in the current session.
