We have released a major update centered on the SOP editor. In addition to "branching logic" that lets you split the procedure flow based on question responses, we've added many features to make SOP creation more flexible: block splitting, voice-over capability, bulk text replacement, and more. This article covers all the updates.
① Edit branching
Until now, SOPs could only follow a single linear path from top to bottom. With this update, you can now set up branching logic that switches to different procedures based on answers to questions.
● Branching methods by question type
- Yes/No and Multiple choice: Specify a branch destination for each choice (e.g., "if this answer, go to this procedure")
- Multiple selection, Text input, Numeric input: Set condition rules such as "contains," "equals," or "less than," and branch to the first matching destination when evaluated in order
Branch destinations can be set to "next procedure," "end SOP," or any procedure within the SOP. This lets you create SOPs that match real-world operations, like "return to inspection step if defect found" or "skip tasks that don't apply."
● How to edit
Select "Edit branching" from the "Other" menu in the SOP editor. You can then set up branches while previewing the overall flow in a diagram (the editor is PC-only).
● Available Plans
Pro and higher
② Voice-over
Based on requests from many existing customers, we've brought back the voice-over feature—now with much better usability. It now supports file uploads as well.
- Record directly in the browser or upload your own audio file
- Replace audio for each subtitle segment independently
- AI-powered transcription can auto-generate subtitle text from your recorded audio
Use this when you need to add narration later or insert sounds that are critical for the decision-making process.
③ Video SOP block splitting
Previously, a procedure created from a single video was treated as one unified block. Now you can split this block into two at any procedure boundary.
- After splitting, the second half becomes an independent dataset that can be edited and reordered separately
- Subtitles and comments are automatically distributed to the first or second half based on the split time
Use this when you need to insert a different video or add AR between sections.
④ Bulk replace text
You can now search and replace text throughout an SOP all at once. Standardize terminology and make bulk changes to equipment or component names smoothly.
- Specify which areas to replace in (Title / Details / Tips / Notes / Safety / Tasks / Subtitles / Procedure info)
- Matching locations are shown in preview, and you select approval or rejection for each match using checkboxes before applying
- Also supports bulk replace in AI video analysis results (scene descriptions, transcriptions) and within the video editor
Select "Bulk replace text" from the "Other" menu in the SOP editor.
⑤ Correct reading and translation glossary templates
We've strengthened AI voice synthesis and translation features. We've also enhanced the engine to prevent misreadings of industrial units.
- Correct reading: Open "Correct reading" from the playback screen, select the range where pronunciation is wrong, and suggest the correct reading using furigana (hiragana or katakana)
- Translation glossary redesign: We've rebuilt the translation glossary as a spreadsheet-style editor, making it easier to add, edit, and save rows in bulk
- Industry templates: The Pronunciation Dictionary and translation glossary now include templates for manufacturing (metals / plastics / electronics / assembly / materials / common), nursing care, construction, food, logistics, office, and retail
⑥ Two-factor authentication (MFA) enforcement setting (Admin)
To support your security operations, you can now require two-factor authentication (MFA) for all users. This is available on the Enterprise plan.
Other improvements and bug fixes
- Enhanced autosave during editing
- Fixed subtitle display position shift
- Fixed issue where AI re-analyze screen would not open
- Fixed issue where AI processing status would not update
- Added ability to reset Skill Map to "Not evaluated"
- Fixed issue where Skill Map could not be created immediately after implementation / import screen would not display
- Fixed issue where report screen would not close completely when auto transition is on at the final step
This update works with your existing SOPs and data without impact. Try the new features in your SOPs at your own pace.
