Product updates
Advanced column filtering
Beyond the existing functionalities of sorting, replacing empty values, and conducting searches within fields, we’ve now integrated a precise value filtering option for columns. This new feature includes a convenient search mechanism to effortlessly pinpoint and filter by the specific value you’re seeking.
Enhanced file upload experience: Multi-selection and drag-and-drop support
Now, you can select and upload multiple files simultaneously through the file uploader, making it quicker and easier than ever to upload your data.
Email theming for Pro Plan customers
Users can now update their space metadata object with a theme configuration to customize the look of their emails.

Your insight into Space dynamics: Introducing 'lastActivityAt'
We’re thrilled to introduce `lastActivityAt`, which marks the date of the last significant activity within a Space, such as adding records to a sheet, uploading files or altering the configuration of a workbook.
Intuitive column management in real-time
Adjustments made within the column management panel now reflect instantly, meaning you can see the impact of your selections or deselections in real-time.

SDK and plugins
@flatfile/plugin-delimiter-extractor@0.9.1 and @flatfile/plugin-xlsx-extractor@v1.11.3
A new update brings our extractors in line with Flatfile’s core header detection capabilities, and now offers three distinct header detection strategies: default, explicitHeaders, and specificRows. The default strategy automatically scans the first 10 rows of your file to identify the header row based on the highest count of non-empty cells.
@flatfile/plugin-export-workbook@0.1.6
This update introduces several significant enhancements to improve your data export workflows including sheet-specific exports, customizable job names and enhanced character checks for those that may not be recognized by Excel.
@flatfile/plugin-webhook-egress@1.2.3
This update aims to offer more flexibility, reliability and a broader applicability of the webhook egress plugin. We've now transitioned from using axios to fetch for HTTP requests, extended compatibility to browser environments and integrated enhanced response rejection handling.
