 - Improved the security of the connection between the app window and AI Studio.
 - Improved how reliably AI Studio reads and stores your settings, chats, and backups.
 - Improved how reliably AI Studio exchanges data with AI providers, external data sources, and web search services.
+- Improved how reliably the Visual Briefing assistant stores your briefings, and how reliably the assistants of AI Studio read the answers of AI models.
 - Changed the size of AI Studio on laptop screens: it now appears in the same size on every laptop, whatever the scaling of your operating system. If you prefer the previous size, choose "System scaling" for the interface size in the app settings. Contributed by Paul Koudelka.
 - Fixed AI Studio becoming unusable when an update failed after its download. The app now restarts with the version you have installed, so you can simply try the update again.
 - Fixed configuration plugins you installed yourself being able to change the tool settings of your organization, such as the minimum provider confidence of a tool. These settings now follow the same rules as all other settings, which also gives you back your own values once your organization removes its configuration.
