 - Added a way for IT departments to provide the PowerPoint template of the Slide Assistant, its layouts for kinds of slides, which slides of the template a presentation keeps, the maximum number of bullet points per slide, whether slides keep empty picture placeholders, and a picture library, either fixed or as a default which users may change. The template and the picture library may come with the configuration of your organization.
 - Added a way to read what the AI received for an answer. In the list of sources below an answer, the eye button next to a source shows the passages the AI got from it, for example, from your data sources, a web page, a mail, or your Confluence wiki, as they were after AI Studio removed suspicious instructions. They stay readable when you open the chat again later. Thanks, Paul Koudelka (`PaulKoudelka`), for this contribution.
 - Added organization-wide management for whether AI Studio reads a file attached to a chat again after it has changed. IT departments can set this for everybody, either fixed or as a default which users may change.
+- Added a way for IT departments to slow down the indexing of local data sources, so that a few people with large folders or mailboxes no longer keep a shared embedding server busy for hours. IT departments set the shortest and the longest pause between the indexing steps, either fixed or as a default which users may change.
 - Improved the Read Web Page tool. When you have not allowed the AI to choose web addresses freely, the tool now refuses every address that does not appear in your chat or in what the tools returned, instead of only asking the AI not to read it.
 - Improved the installation on macOS: AI Studio is now signed and checked by Apple, so it opens like any other app. You no longer need the Terminal.
 - Improved the installation on Windows: AI Studio is now signed, so Windows shows who published it. For a while, Windows may still ask you to confirm the installation until it knows the app better.

 - Improved the button in the chat for moving the chat to a workspace. You can now use it whenever the workspace list lets you move the chat as well, for example, right after you attached an audio or video file and before you sent your first message.
 - Improved how AI Studio keeps the message you have not sent yet. When AI Studio stores your chats automatically, your message and its attachments now stay with the chat, and they are back when you open the chat again, for example, after you switched to another chat.
 - Improved how AI Studio keeps the message of a new chat. When AI Studio stores your chats automatically and you leave a new chat before you send your message, AI Studio now stores the chat with your message. You find it among your disappearing chats, or in its workspace when you started it there.
-- Improved how AI Studio indexes large local data sources. It now works through them in steps of a few minutes, so your other data sources, such as your mailboxes, stay up to date in between.
+- Improved how AI Studio indexes large local data sources. It now works through them in steps of a few minutes, so your other data sources, such as your mailboxes, stay up to date in between, and you can set a pause between the steps to spare an embedding server you share with others.
 - Improved the plugins page with the details of each plugin. The info button next to the name of a plugin shows, among other things, its version, its authors, and where to get support.
 - Improved the details of a plugin on the plugins page, which now show when the plugin was last changed, in your time zone. Plugin authors can state this time, and AI Studio fills it in by itself when it writes a plugin for you, for example, with the Assistant Builder.
 - Improved local data sources for folders. You can now choose which files AI Studio indexes, for example, only PDF files, and whether it includes subfolders as well as hidden files and folders. By default, AI Studio now also indexes text files it did not recognize before, such as program code of any kind or a LICENSE file, so a Git repository makes a useful data source.
