Changelog for Doctate.

Doctate 1.6.0

Tables

• The Tables pane lists every table in your document, with real previews, and editing a table updates it on the page.
• Table styles in the document open in the editor with a click.
• My Templates now sits at the bottom of the pane.

Comments and tracked changes

• Comments appear on the page as numbered pins. Turn on Show Comments for margin balloons.
• Resolve, reopen and edit comments, and step through them with Previous and Next.
• Tracked changes show as redlines, with Simple, All and Original markup, and you can accept or reject each one.
• Footnotes, bookmarks, links, fields and the table of contents have moved to a new Insert pane.

Fonts

• Microsoft Office fonts no longer stay marked missing after you allow access.
• Doctate tells you which missing fonts come with Office and asks once for access.

Also new

• Tools in the sidebar are grouped, with badges for missing fonts and open comments.
• Save and History share one control, and History opens with Command-H.
• Styles are shown in their own font and colour.
• The assistant's table styles render as real tables, and dark styles are now properly dark.
• Backups are kept for 14 days after you close a document, up to 2 GB, and unsaved work is never deleted automatically. You can delete backups and clean up from the History pane.

Doctate 1.5.0

Tables

• Rebuilt table builder: pinned live preview, Data, Structure, Style, Rules and Layout tabs, undo and redo, Cancel, and Live update for tables already in the document.
• Merged cells, per-column widths and per-row heights, Word placement (alignment, indent, fixed or autofit, width, keep rows together), alt text, PowerPoint position and width, Excel filter buttons and totals functions.
• Paste from the clipboard, import CSV or TSV, or pull data from a table already in the document.

Word

• New Paragraph, Styles and Review panes: full paragraph formatting, style management, comments, track changes, notes, bookmarks, links, content controls, fields and table of contents.
• Layout: per-side margins, gutter, columns, sections, and first-page and even-page headers and footers.

Excel

• New Cells, Rules and Sheet panes: custom number formats, borders, conditional formatting, data validation, sort and filter, defined names, protection and print setup.
• Calculations offers every supported function.

PowerPoint

• New Slide pane for transitions, notes, footer, sections and hiding slides.
• Inspector sections for picture crop, replace and alt text, outlines, gradients, shadows, corner radius, text layout and bullets.
• Drag to reorder slides and sheets; master library.

Charts

• Trendlines, error bars, a secondary axis and theme-linked series colours.
• Gap width, overlap, axis units, minor gridlines, marker shapes and data label options now show in the preview.

Themes

• Per-theme colours and font theming with a new Theme pane.

Fixes

• Inserted pictures keep their real format; HEIC, TIFF and WebP are converted.
• Line breaks in alt text and other attributes survive saving.
• A table inserted after another table in Word no longer joins it.

Tables follow your document theme. Table colours and fonts can now be linked to the theme, including lighter and darker shades, so changing a theme colour or font updates the tables in Word, PowerPoint and Excel without rewriting them. Your own table templates replace the built-in ones. Save a table as a template, edit it, and add it to any document. New tables always produce valid documents: blank or out-of-range values now fall back to defaults instead of corrupting the file. Colour and number fields apply as you type, and the colour picker's black column is fixed.

Doctate 1.2.0

Channel: stable Platform: darwin-aarch64 Commit: 7b8b3f5

The assistant can now do everything the Tools panes can: table styles, charts, formulas, page setup, headers and footers, slide size, freeze panes, print areas, and reading or exporting the document as Markdown, text, HTML, CSV, JSON, PDF and images. One message can ask for several things. Apple Intelligence splits it into steps and does them all. A new table now creates one table style from a single colour instead of improvising with custom colours. Colour names such as green or navy are understood. Every change is listed with exactly what it did, with Undo and Redo on each step and Undo all for a request.
