The April release introduces updates to StoryTeller, improvements to AI-driven analysis workflows, and changes to data connectivity for Text Analytics. These updates focus on improving clarity, flexibility, and control when working with reports and connected data.
StoryTeller
Report Insight objects now behave more consistently when used in templates and template sets.
Report Insight enhancements
You can choose how Report Insight analyzes slides. Each option behaves differently:
Current slide
Selected by default when you create a new object
Shows analysis only after you save the slide
Displays No data if the report updates before saving
Entire report
Analyzes all previously saved slides immediately
Includes new slides after you save them
Displays No data until at least one slide is saved
Individual slides
Keeps existing settings when imported
Does not select slides by default
Displays No data until you select slides
Only saved slides are available for selection
Updated user interface for analytics objects
The Advanced Analytics and Report Insight objects now use an updated interface. You can set up and edit these objects faster without switching views.
You can now utilize a consistent setup flow using:
Data
Settings
Format
Export settings
All configuration options are available in the side panel
Full-screen setup mode is no longer used
Prompting guidance for Report Insight and AI tools
Report Insight and Research Agent generate insights from slide images and your prompt. They do not access raw data or metadata. Clear prompts lead to more useful and actionable insights.
How to get better results, use clear focused prompts:
State your goal (summary, insights, recommendations)
Highlight what to focus on (trends, comparisons)
Provide context (audience, purpose)
Specify structure (headings, bullet points)
Refine your prompt based on previous results
