New! Bulk Invite for Users

Want to quickly add multiple users to Epsilon3 in one go? Now you can bulk invite users and assign relevant access and roles, up to 100 users at a time!

On the Users page, invite multiple users using the Add Users button then just copy and paste all the emails.
Select Access and Operator Roles, which would be assigned to all new users.
Users with existing invites that are re-added, will receive another invitation email.

New! Enhanced Preview / Test Mode

We get it. You use Epsilon3 because you are detail-oriented and want all your procedure runs to be bulletproof. Now, you can make your procedure releases bulletproof too with our new preview / test mode that lets you safely test out each op before you send it to review and release.

Preview the latest procedure draft just like it will look during a run.
Change user roles on the fly to validate signoff flows.
No data is saved or flows externally, keeping your workspace clean and isolated.

NEW! Telemetry and Commanding API Routes

Our APIs are getting big enhancements! To start, we have new API routes to help you better control telemetry and commanding definitions. Now you can clean up your testing telemetry parameters and commands to make sure they don’t make it to production or delete outdated ones that you no longer use.

Listing all telemetry parameters for a team: GET /v1/telemetry/parameters
Listing all commands for a team: GET /v1/commands
Bulk deleting telemetry parameters: DELETE /v1/telemetry/parameters

Required payload: List of IDs. e.g. { ids: [1, 2, 3] }

Bulk deleting commands: DELETE /v1/commands

Required payload: List of IDs. e.g. { ids: [1, 2, 3] }

New! Disabling Review with Unresolved Redlines/Comments

Configurable in settings, you can now require all redlines and review comments to be acknowledged before a procedure goes into review or submitted for release. This ensures that suggested edits are taken into consideration, before the procedure advances to the next step.

In General settings, toggle on “Disable procedure release until all redlines acknowledged”.

When submitting a procedure for Review, it will prompt you to resolve redlines.
When submitting for Release, the Release button will be disabled until review comments are resolved.

Improvements:

Allow creation of new procedures when the user is a project-only admin.
Review comments should persist between releases.
Always show offline status.
Redline support for number field input rules.
Increase click area of run step three dot button.
Remove all validation on preview.
Enable iPad text editing.
Restrict access to settings for users without workspace roles.

Fixes:

Fix suggest edit permissions on header.
Fix wrapping logic of signoff buttons in a run step.
Fix timestamp tooltips not displaying.
Fix review not clearing from redux, leaving Review Draft visible when there was no review.
Fix saved procedure variables not syncing in real time.
Fix send button disabling immediately upon click in commanding.
Fix to prevent all steps from potentially showing as changed in the diff.
Fix to prevent whitescreen for conditionals in deleted steps in Review.
