New Features and Enhancements

  • Logging Improvements (DEL-2177, DEL-2148): Two enhancements have been made to improve log visibility and diagnostics across the FDC platform. GRPC logging is now enabled for Office Add-ins (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook on Web), giving support and engineering teams deeper visibility into classification issues in browser-based environments. Additionally, the Agent UI now consolidates all log sources into a single, searchable table, making it faster to investigate and troubleshoot agent behavior. For more details, see the demo video.

  • Custom Logo Upload (DEL-2074, DEL-2048): Administrators can now upload their organization’s logo from the Company Settings option, which will appear in the agent UI, giving users a familiar, branded experience. Available on both Windows desktop and Web.

    Logo can be uploaded from both pages:
    • My Profile > Company Settings
    • Analytics > Export PDF > Configure export

  • AV Diagnostics Enhancement (DEL-1632): Administrators can now verify Antivirus (AV) exclusion paths and check AV service status directly from the FDC Agent Diagnostics panel, reducing time spent on configuration troubleshooting and support escalations.
