Highlights
This week focused on smoother product experiences across subscription flows, the VS Code extension, public news content, and hardware workflows. Improvements make onboarding experiments more reliable, the extension easier to use for file-based workflows and tutorials, and project and device interactions more resilient while giving users clearer privacy and communications controls.New features
Subscribe experience and experiments
You can now see paywall offers and promotional credit buckets during the subscribe flow, and promotional offers are redeemable in the checkout path. Experiment coverage and variant assignments on the subscribe page are more reliable, so cohort targeting and A/B testing produce consistent results for users.VS Code extension and CLI experience
Access step-by-step interactive tutorials and a corrected live‑training link directly from the extension, and follow a one-shot hint explaining Shift+drag file drops so file mentions work reliably. Dragged files resolve to workspace mentions when possible, custom-component uploads are unified into a single flow, and multi-line pastes into the chat preserve the full message content.Privacy controls and communications
The app now respects Global Privacy Control signals from the browser and exposes a Communications toggle in Account > Profile so users can opt in or out of marketing messages. The unsubscribed state label has been clarified so account settings accurately reflect your choices.Miscellaneous
