A released or invoiced entry can\n  no longer be edited or deleted anywhere.\n- **A Billing Rate on a case.** The Edit Case modal now sets or clears that case's\n  own hourly rate, separate from your firm or client default.\n- **The assistant can release time entries**, behind an approval card naming the\n  entries, matter, and date range, so a permanent lock is never approved blind.\n- **Create a client or matter from the folder that already holds its files.** Both\n  create modals offer \"Import from a connected source\": pick a folder, and the client\n   or matter is created already connected to it. After a client, the flow asks where \n   its matters live and turns each folder you pick into a matter of its own.\n- **Onboarding step now seeds a new workspace** the same way, turning up to ten\n  folders from a connected source into clients, or into matters. It can be skipped,\n  and more added later from Clients and Matters.\n- A connected source can be disconnected straight from its 3-dot menu in Files.\n\n## Changed\n\n- **Disconnecting a source no longer deletes what it linked.** Reconnecting the\n  same account brings back every connected folder, workspace, and site, and the\n  document bindings on files you had already downloaded. Turning a document\n  management system off in Settings, or removing a single source, is still a real\n  removal.\n- **A time entry's billing rate is resolved when it is released**, not when it is\n  created, so a new rate applies to every entry still awaiting release, after which\n  it freezes. Releasing with no rate set warns rather than blocks.\n- Local document work — a redline, an extraction, a draft — now has a four-minute\n  budget and is stopped when it runs out, with an answer suggesting a shorter\n  section or a split file, instead of running on until the assistant gave up.\n- Uploading a new version of a document no longer asks for a version comment.\n\n## Fixed\n\n- **A matter or connected folder no longer appears twice at a client's Files\n  root**, and opening it lands in the matter rather than a bare folder listing.\n- Files and folders whose name begins or ends with a space are reachable again, in\n  browsing, search, linking, downloads, and exports alike.\n- A time entry can no longer land on two invoices, and if the PDF fails to render\n  the hours stay billable.\n- Opening a SharePoint document from the assistant window works, its detail screen\n  names the site instead of a raw drive id.\n- The subscription screen appears, and clears, as soon as a seat changes, instead\n  of waiting for a restart.\n- Drilling into a folder while browsing a connected source no longer flashes the\n  page to a spinner, the macOS updater's progress bar no longer runs ahead of the\n  download, and scrolling a Home carousel to its edge no longer bounces the whole\n  window on macOS.\n\n## Removed\n\n- The assistant window button in the title bar; restarting it is now a row in the\n  sidebar's account menu.\n- \"Import files\" and \"Link folder\" from the title bar's + menu. Both are reached\n  from a client's or matter's Files view, where the destination is already known.",
