# Chat uses the connection you mention

Mentioning a connected app in chat inserted a chip and nothing else. Unless that app was already staged on the agent's settings page, the agent replied that it had no access, and the chip looked the same either way.

**Mention it and the agent can use it.** Toggle a connected account under `+`, or mention it with `@`, and its tools are on for that turn. The agent's own settings still decide what it can reach by default; a mention is your grant for the conversation. Every account you have connected is listed, not only the ones the agent was configured with.

**A new connection shows up in chat straight away.** Connecting an app and coming back to the conversation no longer needs a page refresh.

**One way to attach a file.** The paperclip is gone. "Attach file" lives in the `+` menu, reachable by keyboard, and the menu closes before the file picker opens.

## Connections

**A second account for the same app connects.** Adding another Google Analytics property used to fail with a raw "multiple connected accounts" error. The server now knows an account already exists and asks for another one. An abandoned sign-in no longer blocks the retry either.

**The connection sheet says which account is connected.** The name or email of the account appears under the title, next to the status.

**A failed connection says why.** An app that is not enabled for connections yet says so, and every failed sign-in is logged so it can be traced.

## Board

**The agent's work log is in the conversation.** Live status, tool calls and the result appear in the ticket's activity thread, in order, instead of a separate panel in the sidebar. The raw debug trace is gone.

**Reply to an agent.** Replying under an agent's comment failed silently. It works now, and when a reply does fail, the message says why.

**Small things that got in the way.** The "+" no longer covers the reply box. Avatars show a name instead of a question mark and never a raw id. The agent picker shows what each agent does. Starting agent work shows the ticket card you are about to hand over. "New ticket" lives in the board header like every other create button.

## Navigation

Overview is now Home. Chat is first under Work. The Build group folds and stays folded. Opening the app returns you to the workspace you used last, and both sections of the chat rail can be collapsed.
