What we've shipped. New entry per feature or every two weeks. 2026-09-06T00:00:00Z https://qualcanvas.com/changelog/ QualCanvas QualCanvas marketing pipeline https://qualcanvas.com/changelog#2026-09-06-coded-study 2026-09-06T00:00:00Z

Starter templates now seed three short interviews with excerpts already coded, marked as sample so they never count against plan caps or the checklist. The Analyze menu shows four tools until ten excerpts are coded. Import attempts are measured.

https://qualcanvas.com/changelog#2026-09-06-bug-hunt-2 2026-09-06T00:00:00Z

The demo access code had expired in July and four old marketing pages sent sign-up clicks to a missing page; both fixed. Folder uploads are now all-or-nothing with a reason on failure. Rate limit applied on both API prefixes; dependency advisories resolved. Excel workbooks (.xlsx) now import directly.

Drop a PDF on the upload dialog and its text layer is extracted for coding, speakers and quotes intact. Scans are refused with a note to run OCR first. Multi-file drops read each file independently.

A full-app bug hunt run by execution: every finding was reproduced with a failing test before it was fixed. Artifact merging on slow loads, canvas load races, collaborator plan limits, Text Search validation and caps, Excel and Qualtrics CSV import, QDPX code cycles, and Backspace no longer hiding items without deleting them.
