Let us know your thoughts and questions in the [Tulip Community](http://community.tulip.co/t/13332). ## Features and Improvements ### App Version Comparison Page - In the app editor, while viewing the modal to publish a new version of an app, there will now be a link to the Compare App Versions page if there is a previous version to compare to. This will make it easier for app builders to quickly verify the changes they've made before finalizing their published version. ### Automations, Triggers - Adds the ability for an app builder to write a description for a trigger and to view it in the context pane. - New design for the trigger lists in the app editor side panels. Clicking on the name of a trigger will now open the trigger editor. Trigger descriptions are now also shown, which will help provide information about the trigger without requiring opening the trigger. ### Widgets - In the app editor, adds a new option to set comments on eSignature widgets as "Hidden", so that the operator signing will not be prompted at all for a comment. Comments may still be set to required or optional, and all existing eSignature widgets should continue to behave exactly the same. ### Design Improvements - Main navigation is updated to be sentence case. - Minor UI changes on how certain texts are displayed in the platform. - Updated header component to use correct tokens ### Triggers, User Groups - In the user groups page, the "Where Used" UI in the context pane of a user group will now correctly catch the references made in apps triggers as well (only in the dev versions). ## Bug Fixes Release 298 contains multiple bug fixes: | Referenced Ticket | Description | | --- | --- | | PLAT-39993 | In the player, fixes an issue where clicking a row in a table with a table query as the datasource would not fire triggers and would prevent further interactions with the table.
