Quill now corrects patient names in chat with a much faster, lower-treat shortcut - so small name fixes no longer cost you a full edit's worth of treats.

✨ New Features
  • Quick patient name corrections in Companion: Ask Quill to fix a patient's name (for example, "the patient's name is Bella, not Belle") and it now applies the change with a much smaller treat cost than a full edit, with the corrected name appearing in your edit-note form without having to reload the page.
  • Cleaner top header: The ‘Pay-It-Furward’ link has been removed from the top header and account dropdown to free up space for actions you use more often. It is still accessible from the Account page above Legacy Features, and from the signup referral banner.
🐛 Bug Fixes
  • Pending Companion approval requests survive a reload: If Companion paused to request your approval for an action, refreshing or reopening the chat could cause the approval card to disappear and leave the conversation stuck. The approval card now reappears when you resume the chat, so you can approve or reject the request and continue the conversation.
  • Companion edits are no longer invisible when you are on another page: When Quill was asked to edit a note from somewhere other than the edit-note page, the proposed change sometimes appeared off-screen with no visible differences. Quill now opens the relevant note first so you can see the change and accept or reject it.
  • More consistent "update the template too?" offers: When you ask Quill to make a change that reads more like a general preference than a one-off, Companion now reliably offers to update the underlying template in the same reply, instead of letting the offer slip through.
  • Better search for short patient names: Searches for short patient names (like "Eli") now retry automatically when the first attempt returns no results, so Companion can find the right note even when the name is only a few letters.

About Scribenote's Weekly Changelog

Scribenauts work really hard to bring you delightful, easy to use software that helps you slay your day as a busy veterinary professional. This is a continuous process that involves everything from building industry changing new innovations to fixing minor bugs. We’ve been doing this since the first line of code for Scribenote was written on December 27, 2019. We’ve historically been pretty bad at sharing the details of all this work, but one of our our resolutions for 2026 is to share our progress with the veterinary community every week. We hope that by seeing the craft that goes into making Scribenote you might feel a little closer to the people who are trying to make something special for you.
