[Bug Update/ Fix]: Indefinite Loading Screen When Redirected To Study Before Signed In
- When a user attempts to open a study before signing into Canvas 2.0, they are prompted to sign in but become stuck on a loading screen afterwards. The known issue has since been fixed and is now working as intended.

[Feature Update]: Apply Buffer for Quota Setting in The Visual Editor (Build) Now Auto-Enabled
- The 'Apply Buffer' option in quota settings was previously disabled by default and had to be manually enabled.
- Following the latest update, this option is now enabled by default for all newly created surveys (*Note: For older surveys, the check box still needs to be ticked manually).
- Users will have the flexibility to also disable it by unticking the 'Apply buffer to targeted sample size' checkbox in the quota settings.

[Feature Release]: Ability to Download Dataset File With Weighting Applied in Monitor
- After setting a weight frame in a study, users now have the option to apply it to their dataset file before downloading, via the Monitor sidebar. The resulting XLS file will include a column with the selected weight frame values.

[Bug Update/ Fix]: Renaming a Segment in Weight Frame Causes Incorrect Data Values In Analyse
- In the Weight Frame section, when users rename a segment, the data calculation in Analyse does not update itself to the correct value when no subsequent actions thereafter is taken thereafter (e.g. renaming parent weight frame, editing a perecentage field etc.). The bug was found to be caused by refreshing logic error. The known issue has since been fixed and is now working as intended.

[Feature Release]: Ability to Download Weighted Dataset File
- Users can now export the weighted dataset curated in Analyse, provided that weight frames have already been applied.

[UI/UX Update/ Fix]: Stops Text Field Being Active When User Has Navigated Away
- When creating custom variables, if users edit the variable title field and proceed without pressing 'Enter' or clicking 'Save', the system may still detect the field as being edited. As a result, the next text field becomes unresponsive, even after interacting with a dropdown menu. The known issue has since been fixed and is now working as intended.

[Bug Update/ Fix]: Letters In The Text Field Jumps To Different Positions When Attempting to Type
- When creating custom variables, users have been finding issues with typing in the text field as the letters-positioning jumps in different spots unexpectedly. The known issue has since been fixed and is now working as intended.

- Report crashes when user goes through the following scenario:
  - Create a crossed variables chart, then changes it to a stacked chart
  - Selects a variable to highlight, and attempts to swap the primary and secondary variables.
- The known issue has since been fixed and is now working as intended.

[Bug Update/ Fix]: Error When Deleting One of the Variable From a Crossed Variables Chart
