v0.8 - Comment Attachments, Custom Scales & Google Drive Marketplace

Attach files to comment threads, save your markup swatches, manage shared drawing scales, and open Drive PDFs in Deta from the Google Workspace Marketplace.

v0.8 is here — attach files to comment threads, save your own markup swatches, and open Google Drive PDFs in Deta right from Drive.

Comment Attachments

  • Attach files to comments and replies — Add photos, PDFs, spreadsheets, and other documents right inside a markup thread
  • Preview or download — Images show inline in the thread; any attachment can be opened or downloaded
  • Carry through PDF round-trips — Exported PDFs keep attachments with the thread, and imported PDF attachments come back into Deta

Markup Swatches

  • Save your colors — Keep a personal strip of the markup colors you use most
  • Per-workspace override — Use a different default markup color in one workspace without changing your overall default
  • Edit swatches in place — Add, replace, or remove saved swatches directly from the picker

Custom Drawing Scales

  • Shared workspace scales — Add a custom scale once and everyone in the workspace can use it
  • Searchable picker — Type to find a scale fast instead of scrolling a long list
  • Use your own notation — Save the scale the way you write it and reuse it across drawings

Google Drive Marketplace

  • Open with Deta — Open a PDF from Google Drive directly in Deta
  • Picker-based import — Import the specific PDFs you choose, including files from Shared Drives
  • Limited-access connection — Deta only gets access to the files you explicitly pick or open

Improvements

  • Phone-friendly viewer panel — The right pane now works better on phones
  • Cleaner comment panel — Thread controls are more compact and easier to scan

Bug Fixes

  • New versions no longer open blank — Uploading a new version now shows the drawing right away instead of a blank page
  • New version's first branch shows immediately — No refresh needed to see it
