v1.19.21 โ€” LaTeX equations, and AI-drafted survey plans

The editor can now insert display-math equations from LaTeX, hashed and attested like the rest of your document. Surveyor can turn an existing AI planning conversation into a reviewed draft study, and its results panel now lets you choose a bar or pie chart. Also: the last untranslated piece of the certificate-verification page is now in Arabic and Hebrew, and /verify-figure gets the same signed-out visitor CTA as other shared pages. Fixed: signing in through an institution SSO provider no longer risks creating a second student account, and a Discovery Agents crash on an empty query.

Equations, backed by their source

Type /equation in the editor to insert display math from LaTeX โ€” the same slash-command flow you already use for tables and charts. Like the rest of a source-backed document, an equation's content is hashed for attestation, so adding one doesn't break the provenance chain on a document you're already tracking.

Turn an AI planning chat into a survey draft

Surveyor's methodology assistant already builds a study from a research question you type in. Now you can also paste an existing planning conversation โ€” from ChatGPT, Claude, or anywhere else โ€” and it extracts a draft: study design, constructs, and questions. Nothing is created until you review every field and confirm; imported scales and AI-suggested questions stay drafts for you to check, not a finished study.

Also new

  • Surveyor's results panel now asks which chart type you want โ€” bar or pie โ€” before inserting a distribution figure, instead of always giving you a bar chart.
  • The share/embed card on every certificate is now fully translated. It was the one piece of /verify still rendering hardcoded English outside the page's translation coverage; it now reads correctly in Arabic and Hebrew like the rest of the page.
  • /verify-figure now shows the same signed-out visitor CTA as other shared pages (verify, review, transcript, saved searches). A visitor who signs up from a shared figure certificate credits its owner, matching how referral attribution already worked everywhere else.

Fixed

  • Signing in through an institution's SSO could create a duplicate student account. If Folio already had a student account under the same email, it now stops before creating a second one and asks you to sign in with your existing account instead โ€” protecting against grades, enrollment, and attendance getting split across two rows.
  • Generating a Discovery Agent briefing could crash for an agent whose search query was empty or missing.
