Feature Improvements
While creating a graph in the app, a preview of the chart will now always be displayed in the upper right corner of the page.
This preview will remain visible even when you scroll through the settings page, allowing you to update them while simultaneously checking their effect on the graph.
If there is an error in the formula entered, a warning message will be displayed with suggestions for correction.
If you mistakenly type "=<" instead of "<=," which is the correct operator for "less than or equal to," an error will be highlighted and suggested for correction.
This feature helps the user quickly identify and correct errors in the formula.

Kintone now lets you choose when new features get implemented with new Update Channels. You can now "Select Update Channel" under Update Options and choose "Monthly Channel" or "Current Channel" for feature updates.
Monthly Channel:
Default in existing Kintone domains. As before, updates will be applied once per month as scheduled.
Current Channel:
Updates will be applied as soon as they are ready, in addition to regular monthly updates.

Default |
For Kintone domains that existed before the May updates, "Monthly Channel" is the default selection and will be automatically set. |
After the May updates, the default value for new Kintone domains created will be "Current Channel." |

You can find the "Disable New Features" section and the "Disable new features automatically" option in the "Update Options" section, just like before. |
