What's Changed

Permission Update: Face Recognition Feature Enhancements

We have made several improvements to refine user access permissions for the face recognition feature.

🔹 Update details:

When checked on the "Can View Recognition Profiles" option:

  • Report a permission error when trying to access the path /recognition

  • Display default avatar and Anonymous in search chip

  • Hide the 'Face recognition' option in the library page filter

  • Hide people on the preview and detail asset page.

This change will provide enhanced security for recognition data while also creating a cleaner interface and increasing transparency regarding access rights.

Improve video playback performance on the Asset Detail page

  • The video player in the Asset Preview section was not affected by this issue.


New Feature: Export Multiple Pages to a ZIP File

HIVO hass added a new feature that makes it easy to export multiple pages at once.

🔹 Update details: Now, you can export your selected pages into a single ZIP file that includes all corresponding images. This allows you to download and manage your multi-page content more quickly and conveniently.


Natural Language Search Update: Added the ability to search text contained within images

HIVO has improved our natural language search to include content extracted from images.

🔹 Update details:

  • Previously, when you searched for something, the system only looked at the text inside documents, such as titles, descriptions, or other editable text.

  • With this update, we’ve added a new step to the search process: extracting text content from images. This process is powered by OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology.
