Patch Notes
8.4.6$$$August 5; 2026$$$$$$Features marked Phased Rollout are being enabled for accounts in stages. Contact support@textexpander.com to request earlier access.$$$$$$New Features$$$Conditional Sections in snippets (Phased Rollout). Build if/then branching directly into a snippet: wrap content in a conditional section with named branches; and the fill-in window shows a dropdown that reveals only the selected branchs content and fill-ins. Sections nest; branches are unlimited; and you can embed other snippets inside a branch. The expanded result reads as one clean document with no leftover blank lines.$$$Spell check and grammar suggestions in the snippet editor (Phased Rollout). Misspellings get a dashed red underline and grammar suggestions a wavy purple one. Click an underline to see suggestions; then apply or ignore. The checker skips macros; the spacing around them; and script snippets; and it also works in the default text fields of fill-in dialogs. Checking is English (en-US) for now.$$$Sign in with your browser. The sign-in screen now offers a single Sign in with browser button that hands authentication to your browser session; so you never type your password into the app window. A Sign in manually link keeps the email and password form one click away.$$$Improvements$$$Group sharing is easier to find. Selecting a snippet group now shows an actions menu in the header with Share; Group Settings; and Delete; replacing the buried right-click and gear-icon paths.$$$Bug fixes$$$Fixed a crash when using Print All Groups with groups containing rich text snippets.$$$Removed the Requests promotion callout that kept appearing after its promotional window ended.$$$Other fixes: the snippet type dropdown is now disabled for snippets the editor cannot safely edit; matching the editor itself; and switching a snippet to a script type and back no longer strips the compatibility guard that protects newer snippets from older clients.
