Hello App Creators,
It's been quite some time since we interacted on the upcoming updates in Zoho Creator. We very recently got through releasing all but one from the Apr-2019 list of updates ; it took a while to sort out the kinks in them. We appreciate your active engagement, continued patience and understanding in this regard.
That said, we're gearing-up for the next set! We'll shortly be posting about the upcoming updates for Jul-2019.
Meanwhile, below are the other notable updates that were released during May-June, 2019. Refer to our changelog for the complete list.

Zia Search interface
You can now launch the Zia Search interface using keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl + / in Windows, and Command-/ (⌘ + /) in Mac. These will work while you're accessing your Creator account's home page and while you're editing your apps.

Right-to-Left (RTL) app layout

iOS & Android apps - "Open in app" from Recents
In the Recents screen, you can now swipe left on a component to open it in the corresponding app.
- Though the Recents screen allows you to access components, you can't navigate from it to the other components in that app. Tapping the Back button will return you to the Recents screen (as it's meant so).
- By "opening a component in its app", you'll get to access the component within the corresponding app.

Pivot reports new UI
The UI w.r.t. configuring and accessing pivot charts and pivot tables has been enhanced. Notably:
- W.r.t. accessing these reports, the Refresh button now has a greater emphasis and the Export button now sports an icon
- In the report builder, the More Charts button now sports an icon and the legends sport an easier color picker
