 - Added an app setting to enable administration options for IT staff to configure and maintain organization-wide settings.
 - Added an option to export all provider types (LLMs, embeddings, transcriptions) so you can use them in a configuration plugin. You'll be asked if you want to export the related API key too. API keys will be encrypted in the export. This feature only shows up when administration options are enabled.
 - Added an option in the app settings to create an encryption secret, which is required to encrypt values (for example, API keys) in configuration plugins. This feature only shows up when administration options are enabled.
+- Added the option to set a predefined provider for the entire app via configuration plugins.
 - Added support for using multiple enterprise configurations simultaneously. Enabled organizations to apply configurations based on employee affiliations, such as departments and working groups. See the enterprise configuration documentation for details.
 - Added the `DEPLOYED_USING_CONFIG_SERVER` field for configuration plugins so enterprise-managed plugins can be identified explicitly. Administrators should update their configuration plugins accordingly. See the enterprise configuration documentation for details.
 - Improved the enterprise configuration synchronization to be fail-safe on unstable or unavailable internet connections (for example, during business travel). If metadata checks or downloads fail, AI Studio keeps the current configuration plugins unchanged.
