📢 Spaces Flex R44 Release Notes - May 2026

Target Clients: All Spaces Flex Clients with Inspire module.

Business Objectives / Goals:

• Ensure Inspire flow produces predictable, correct design presets so users can restart or switch flows without losing intended selections.
• Consolidate and resolve placeholder/storage bugs to reduce defects, data corruption, and downstream support overhead.
• Stabilize the new Inspire2Design flow and add observability so product-level changes can be safely introduced and iterated.

What's Included:

• Preset Persistence Fixes
  • Isolate room-specific presets so restarting Inspire for a different room (e.g., Kitchen) does not retain Bathroom/Laundry selections.
  • Reset or load the correct preset state when switching or restarting flows to preserve the user’s intended design.
  • Fix edge cases that allowed stale preset data to persist across sessions and flows.
• Inspire Flow Stability and Observability
  • Harden flow transition and state management to prevent errors when starting, restarting, or switching Inspire flows.
  • Add telemetry and improved error handling to surface failures during Inspire2Design scenarios for faster diagnosis.
  • Provide a product-level placeholder and clear scope for ongoing enhancements to the Inspire flow as related issues evolve.

Dependencies: No dependencies.

Requirements to activate: No activation required.

Target Clients: All Spaces Flex Clients.

Business Objectives / Goals:

• Enable users to duplicate SFx designs directly from Flex so they can iterate on layouts quickly without rebuilding from scratch.
• Keep Flex and SFx data consistent by synchronizing saves of duplicated designs across both platforms.
• Preserve complete design data by transferring all attachments with duplicated designs to prevent missing assets or broken workflows.

What's Included:

• Design Duplication
  • Create an exact duplicate of an SFx design when the user clicks Duplicate in Flex.
  • Open the duplicated design in SFx immediately for editing.
  • Preserve design structure and metadata so the duplicate is an exact replica.
• Save Synchronization
  • Automatically synchronize saves from SFx back to Flex for duplicated designs.
  • Ensure changes made in SFx are reflected in the Flex project view without manual steps.
  • Handle save operations reliably to maintain data consistency across platforms.
• Attachment Transfer
  • Transfer all necessary attachments (item lists, 2D views, 3D views, images, CDF) when a duplicated design is saved.
  • Ensure attachments are available in Flex so the duplicated design data is complete and usable.
  • Preserve attachment links and integrity during duplication and synchronization.

Dependencies:

• Spaces Flex connected to Flex Platform.

• Eliminate UI/UX defects across customer sites to improve usability and reduce support effort.
• Ensure visual fidelity and responsive behavior so designers and end users can view and interact with products without layout issues.
• Stabilize the UI by closing prioritized Q1 bugs to increase reliability and readiness for release.

What's Included:

• Customer-specific bug remediation
  • Fix cross-customer UI issues to ensure consistent behaviour and appearance.
• Visual layout and responsiveness
  • Improve resizing behavior so UI elements adapt correctly across viewports and interactions.
  • Ensure option group thumbnails are fully fitted and not clipped within their display containers.
  • Adjust component containers and styles to prevent visual overflow and improve clarity.
• Q1 stabilization and closure
  • Close all targeted Q1 UI bugs and verify fixes meet acceptance criteria.
  • Complete prioritized stabilization workstreams to reduce regressions and support upcoming releases.

Target Clients: All Spaces Flex Clients on Demand or Ultimate Package.

Business Objectives / Goals:

• Increase Auto‑Design reliability to reduce failures and rework and support future product-level fixes.
• Reduce styles tab and preset load times to improve planner productivity when editing kitchens and bathrooms.
• Improve relevance of Auto‑Design suggestions in multi‑room projects so planners can quickly identify and evaluate room‑specific designs.

What's Included:

• Preset Loading & Performance
  • Lazy‑load preset data in the Styles tab to reduce initial load times.
  • Reduce load time for Kitchen and Bathroom presets.
• Auto‑Design Stabilization
  • Refactor Auto‑Design (AD) flows to improve robustness and support product‑level fixes.
  • Execute stabilization phases to harden the AD pipeline and reduce runtime errors.
  • Improve fault handling and resilience during suggestion generation.
• Room‑focused Suggestion Thumbnails
  • Generate Auto‑Design thumbnails that focus on the specific room where the design was run.
  • Ensure thumbnails accurately represent room‑specific suggestions to speed planner evaluation.
  • Preserve correct focus context for associated or connected rooms in multi‑room projects.

• Shared and owner design access handling
  • Allow viewing the Item List for designs accessed via URL from another user when the enforce save toggle is off and the anonymous item list flag is on.
