Spreadsheets on canvas are now available to everyone, so you can drop, paste or drag xlsx, xlsm, xls and csv files straight onto the canvas.

New feature
Global comments sidebar brings every comment in a project into one sidebar. Each comment keeps a durable reference to the file it was made on, so context survives as canvases change.
Comments stay anchored to what they point at since conversations are now projected shapes on the canvas, so pins track their target as shapes move, get grouped or are connected with arrows.
Richer 3D and CAD comments show the part a comment was left on in the CAD Explorer. Clicking a part name filters the comments list to that part, and filter chips carry the icon of the app the comment came from.
Shareable canvas page links give canvas pages real URLs, so you can link someone straight to the page you are looking at.
Timestamped comments on canvas videos pin a comment to the moment it refers to, so feedback lands on the right frame.
Live CAD processing progress shows real progress on uploads and asset cards while a CAD file is processed, instead of an indefinite spinner.
CAD Explorer v2 and engine stickers for everyone turns the new CAD Explorer and CAD engine stickers on for all users.
Design for Manufacturing (DFM) for everyone, beta is available to all users and marked as beta in the canvas Apps toolbar.
SolidWorks plugin download for everyone adds the plugin download to the profile menu for all users whose workspace has it available.
Pins attach to any canvas object lets you drop a conversation pin on images, videos and other canvas objects. The pin attaches as soon as you place it, stays above everything, highlights the target as you drag and stays attached as shapes move.
Click a 3D part to find it in the tree activates that row in the CAD Explorer, expands its ancestors and scrolls it into view when you select a part or subassembly. The fullscreen tree now shows part thumbnails and starts closed, and existing v1 explorers open as v2 with their saved viewpoints.

New feature
Canvas-scoped guests lets you invite someone to a single canvas instead of the whole project. Guests can upload CAD files, images, PDFs, videos and spreadsheets onto that canvas without access to other project pages, and see a placeholder instead of an error if a shared asset gets deleted.
Text alignment on shape labels lets you align label text left, center or right from the shape selection toolbar, with matching icons in the toolbar and rich text editor.
Canvas thumbnails now show on project cards and in favorites so you can recognise the canvas you want at a glance instead of reading names.

Draggable comments let you reposition a comment in the asset explorer by dragging it.
