# Release Notes - 14th October

This release introduces improvements to respondent access for screen-sharing studies, persona-specific attention metrics in AI Creative Insights, and data export capabilities in Media Analytics. These enhancements help improve study accessibility, provide more consistent audience-specific creative insights, and make analytics data easier to access and use.

**New Features & Enhancements**

**1\. Mobile App Guidance for Task and Prototype Testing**

**Product Area: Study Management | Respondent Experience**

Studies containing Task or Prototype Testing blocks now guide respondents using mobile browsers to continue their study in the Decode app.

**What’s new**

Mobile app guidance: Respondents opening these studies in a mobile browser see instructions to continue in the Decode app, with the appropriate app store link for their device.

Easy study access: Respondents can copy the study link and reopen it in the app.

Researcher warnings: Warnings appear before publishing and when sharing study links, highlighting studies that require the app.

Desktop compatibility: Studies continue to work as usual in desktop browsers, and studies without the specified blocks remain unaffected.

**Why it matters**

This enhancement helps prevent respondents from attempting to complete screen-sharing studies in unsupported mobile browsers, reducing compatibility issues and potential drop-offs during study participation.

**2\. Persona-Specific AOI Metrics in AI Creative Insights**

**Product Area: AI Creative Insights | Audience Analysis**

AOI (Area of Interest) metrics now reflect the selected audience persona’s predicted gaze, ensuring that attention metrics align with the persona-specific heatmap.

**What’s new**

-   Persona-specific metrics: AOI metrics update automatically when users switch personas.
-   Shared AOI definitions: AOI definitions are shared across personas, eliminating the need to redraw them for each audience.
-   Consistent updates: Adding, editing, or deleting an AOI updates the corresponding results across applicable personas.
-   Audience comparison: AOI metrics can be compared across personas in the Audience Comparison view.
-   Clearer results: Persona-specific labels and loading and error states help users identify the data being displayed.

**Why it matters**

Marketers can better understand how different audience personas are predicted to engage with specific creative elements. By aligning AOI metrics with persona-specific heatmaps, this enhancement provides more consistent insights for evaluating creative performance and comparing audience attention patterns.

**3\. Download CSV for Media Analytics**

**Product Area: Media Analytics | Data Export**

Users can now download the underlying analytics data for an individual media item directly from the Analytics panel.

**What’s new**

-   One-click export: A new Download CSV button exports all seven available analytics datasets into a single file.
-   Comprehensive data: The export includes Emotional Journey, Emotion Metrics, Speaker Phase Metrics, Behavioral Journey, Behavioral Metrics, Conversation Dynamics, and Communication Style.
-   Download confirmation: Users receive an on-screen confirmation showing the exported file name and row count.
-   Retry support: If analytics are unavailable or an export fails, an explanatory message appears with an option to retry.
-   Existing exports unchanged: Per-chart PNG downloads and branded PDF reports continue to work as before.

**Why it matters**

This feature makes media analytics data more accessible for further analysis, reporting, and spreadsheet-based workflows. Users can work directly with the underlying metrics instead of relying solely on visual charts or PDF reports.
