Hi there,

We’ve rolled out some exciting updates this month to help you work faster and make your projects even easier to manage. From smarter AI tools to new ways to organize your viewer, here’s everything new in SKAND this October.

Early Access

Web App

Saved Views

Users can now save the state of your viewer and its settings, set a custom default view for their project, and even share it with other users.

Explore the Saved Views full guide here.

Executable Annotations

Users can now customize the icons displayed for annotations and define what happens when they left-click them. This gives you more control and flexibility over how you interact with your data.

SKAND AI

Batch Predictions

Users can now run batch predictions using a pre-trained model on all 2D images in your project. It’s a quick and efficient way to apply your model across large datasets.

Vision-Language Object Detection

Users can now search for images using object names using our natural language. SKAND AI will automatically identify those objects and create bounding boxes for them, ready for your review.

Note: Searches for other object types may not always be accurate, as we’re still improving this feature to recognize a wider range of objects more reliably.

Smart Segmentation

Users can now draw annotations around objects with a single click. Just click the center of the object, and SKAND AI will automatically outline it for you.

Want early access to these features? Email support@skand.io and we’ll get you set up.

In the lab – what we’re working on

Web App

Spreadsheet View

We’re building a new way to manage annotations in bulk. Soon, you’ll be able to edit multiple annotations at once, download them as a CSV file, make changes, and reupload the file with all updates automatically reflected.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

Web App

Improved Login Flow

If users open a specific SKAND page without logging in, the app now redirects them to the login page first. After signing in, they are automatically taken back to the page they were trying to access.

Previously, logging in always redirected users to the project list page.

Enhanced Authentication for Embedding

We fixed the authentication mechanism so the SKAND Web App can now be used seamlessly inside an iframe.

We’re always working to make SKAND better for you. Thanks for your continued support and feedback. Stay tuned for more updates next month!
