We're proud to release 2023.Q3! We've made a number of quality-of-life improvements this quarter based on user feedback. First, we've refined searching and filtering during literature screening and have updated how references are displayed. Second, we've added a new data export for study evaluation heatmaps; this export is now available on all existing visuals. Finally, we've added some new features to data pivots and exploratory heatmaps to enable more customization of their look and feel.

There's more work that we've been doing behind the scenes that we hope will allow us to add some substantial new features in future release. First, we've rewritten how data can be filtered for visualizations so we can filter more quickly and flexibly. This should allow us to add more visuals and filtering options in the future. Second, we're adding User Defined Forms (UDF), so that users can augment the existing tagging and extractions in HAWC with additional information that may be required for an assessment. This has long been requested over the years and we're excited to break ground on this work.
