 # v26.5.5, build 240 (2026-05-xx xx:xx UTC)
 - Released the voice recording and transcription for all users. You no longer need to enable a preview feature to configure transcription providers, select a transcription provider, or use dictation.
+- Added export options for profiles and chat templates, including an option to package chat template attachments into configuration plugins.
 - Added support for organization-managed ERI servers in configuration plugins, so admins can preconfigure external data sources for users.
 - Added an export option for ERI server data sources, so admins can create configuration plugin snippets without writing the Lua code manually.
 - Added an option to configure the timeout setting for all requests. This is useful when you have a slow network connection, or you have to work with slow AI servers. It is also possible to configure this timeout for an entire organization using configuration plugins.
