We’ve been hard at work improving Multiplayer to make system design, auto-documentation, and debugging faster, more intuitive, and more effective. Explore the latest updates below.

New Features​

Enhanced System Dashboard Insights​

  • The Dependencies tab in the System Dashboard now includes:
    • A Protocol column for added clarity.
    • Filters for Target, Source, and Protocol, making it easier to find specific dependencies.
    • The ability to sort all columns, giving you more control over how you view your data.
  • RPC endpoint information has been added to both the APIs and Dependencies tabs, offering deeper visibility into system interactions.

Automatic Slugification​

Names for Components, Notebooks, Sketches, Platform groups, and Environments are now automatically slugified. This ensures names are consistent by converting text into lowercase ASCII characters separated by hyphens (-).

Platform Grouping​

Introducing grouping to Platform components. Groups allow you to:

  • Cluster related components together for cleaner, less cluttered architecture diagrams.
  • Move grouped components as a unit for easier platform management.

A clarification:

  • System Platforms represent your actual software system, consisting of components (i.e. software that uses or provides an API such as web-apps, microservices, SaaS providers, etc.) and their dependencies. Each platform mirrors the real-world architecture of your software, providing a 1:1 view of how components interact and depend on each other.
  • System Platform Groups are a visual aid for organizing components within a Platform. Groups are purely for simplifying diagrams and do not reflect existing software structures or affect component dependencies.

Component Filtering in Platforms​

When adding new components to a Platform, you can now quickly hide components already included in that Platform to focus on what’s missing. This feature streamlines the process of finding and adding new components while helping to prevent duplicate components across your system.

Improvements​

We implemented the following UX improvements:

System Dashboard​

  • Shrinking headers.
  • System Dashboard > Components now shows the components tab as an overlay panel instead of shrinking the content area.
  • Infinite scroll.

Platform Debugger​

  • Sticky toolbar.
  • Expanded search functionality to quickly find headers, requests, and responses information.

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed “trial ended” and “pro feature” pop-ups appearing incorrectly for free plan users.
  • Corrected a timezone display issue in the last active column in the System Dashboard.
  • Addressed an issue where workspaces remained visible in the dropdown menu after leaving.
  • Fixed missing platform links when components were identified/added through Auto-Documentation.
  • Resolved a Platform Debugger crash caused by expanding log messages while the trace/span panel was open.
  • Fixed a Platform crash issue when deleting a view.
  • Workspace owners can now properly change project users’ roles.
