Zia assistance using Zoho GenAI 

1. Going forward, when you use Zia Assistance to create a new app or form, or get next-field suggestions, Zia will be powered by Zoho GenAI by default.
   
2. If you prefer to use OpenAI with Zia, you can integrate it by visiting the Zia section under Operations and configuring it by adding your API key.

Field permissions for portal users 

How will it work?
You’ll now find a Field Permission option under the More section on the Portal User Permissions page.

Enhanced flow for connection creation 

• Automatic connection name: The connection name will now be auto-generated when you select a connector. You can still edit it at any time.
  
• Simplified authorization: By default, the same authorization will apply across all environments. If you prefer different authorizations for each environment, select the Use different authorizations for each environment option and specify the relevant environments.
  
• Auto-generated authorization account name: The authorization account name will be automatically generated based on the third-party account name, if available, or assigned a system-generated name. You can edit this name later, on the Connection Details page.

Test extensions before publishing 

• Going forward, you'll find a Test option for the Extensions.
  
• By clicking this, you'll be taken to a sample application where you can create a new page and insert your widget. Once done, click Access Application to see how your extension appears and functions on the page.
