## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 10.1.1 — 2026-08-12

This patch improves the reliability of login and Library synchronization, particularly for users with access to a large number of manuals.
Improved first-time device registration: The app now allows more time for the initial login and registration process to complete, reducing the risk of synchronization issues when a large number of publications must be prepared for the device.
Improved Library synchronization: The app now allows more time to retrieve the list of available manuals, improving synchronization reliability for users with access to a large Library.
These improvements help prevent synchronization and manual installation issues that could previously occur in these situations

### 10.1.0 — 2026-08-11

A major update with a completely redesigned Library experience, improved navigation, and over 90 bug fixes.

New Library Experience
	• Folder-based Library - Your manuals are now organized in a folder and subfolder structure, matching the Web platform. Navigate through folders with an intuitive tree view.
		• Folder and manual ordering now reflects admin settings — The mobile app tree structure now displays manuals and folders in the exact order defined by administrators, matching the custom ordering introduced on the web platform (Orlando Web v10.1.0). Your Library layout on mobile will be consistent with what admins configure.
	• Independent Viewer tabs - Opening a manual no longer changes the Library context. Manuals open in their own tabs, so your Library view stays exactly where you left it.
	• Download from Library - Download individual manuals or entire folders directly from the Library tree. Track download and install progress on each folder and manual.
	• Download status indicators - Easily identify whether a download is in progress, paused, failed, or completed, directly from the Library tree.
Search Improvements
	• Library search - Search across your entire Library for manuals and folders by name.
	• Current manual first - When searching from a viewer tab, results from the manual you're currently reading appear at the top.
	• Search context awareness - When filters or applicability change during a search, a banner invites you to relaunch the search - no more stale results.
Bookmarks
	• Bookmark order preserved - Bookmark folder ordering is now correctly synchronized across devices.
Filters
	• Unified filter dialog and filter chips - All filters (applicability, manual tags, module tags, publication status) are grouped in a single dialog. Active filters appear as chips below the toolbar. Tap the "X" to remove a filter, or tap the chip to adjust its value.
	• Filters inherited by new tabs - When you apply filters in the Library, all subsequently opened tabs inherit them. Already-opened tabs remain unchanged.
	• Auto-expand single business - If only one business is available in the applicability filter, it expands automatically.
EFB Mode
	• Forced filters - In EFB mode, applicability, live, and mandatory filters are locked and clearly indicated with a padlock icon.
iPhone & iOS Compatibility
	• iPhone responsiveness - Improved layout and usability on 6.27" iPhone screens.
	• Message readability on iPhone - Message text now displays at the correct size on iPhone in full view.
Viewer & Navigation
	• Side-by-side improvements - Long-press a link to open it side-by-side. Close a side-by-side tab quickly with a dedicated button.
	• Optimized vertical spacing - More screen space is dedicated to document content, especially in landscape mode.
	• Lighter Table of Contents - The TOC design has been streamlined for better readability and easier navigation.
	• Restore library filters on restart - The app restores Library filters when relaunched.

BUG FIXES
Library & Downloads
	• Fixed incorrect publication counters on the Home and Library screens.
Search
	• Search keyword highlights are now correctly cleared when the search is dismissed.
Bookmarks & Notes
	• Notes and highlights availability has been restored and made more reliable.
Applicability & Filters
	• Fixed an issue where filters applied on the first split-view tab were incorrectly applied to the second tab.
Display & Localization
	• SVG images in dark mode now display with inverted colors in full screen.
	• Settings toggle values are now displayed in the correct order.
