 # v0.9.22, build 197 (2024-1x-xx xx:xx UTC)
 - Added the possibility to configure preview feature visibility in the app settings. This is useful for users who want to test new features before they are officially released.
 - Added the possibility to configure embedding providers in the app settings. Embeddings are necessary in order to integrate local data and files.
+- Added the writer mode as an experimental preview feature. This feature is just an experiment as we explore how to implement long text support in AI Studio.
 - Improved self-hosted LLM provider configuration by filtering embedding models.
