 - Added a reminder in chats and assistants that LLMs can make mistakes, helping you double-check important information more easily.
 - Added the ability to format your user prompt in the chat using icons instead of typing Markdown directly.
 - Added the ability to load a system prompt from a file when creating or editing chat templates.
+- Added a start-page setting, so AI Studio can now open directly on your preferred page when the app starts. Configuration plugins can also provide and optionally lock this default for organizations.
 - Released the document analysis assistant after an intense testing phase.
 - Improved the profile selection for assistants and the chat. You can now explicitly choose between the app default profile, no profile, or a specific profile.
 - Improved the performance by caching the OS language detection and requesting the user language only once per app start.
