In addition to releasing new features, Noibu is constantly actioning fixes and improvements to the customer experience. The purpose of Noibu's changelog is to track these updates, grouped by quarter. The Q2 2023 changelog tracks bug fixes and improvements released from July-September 2023.
Check back every two weeks for updates to the changelog. Updates are published every second Tuesday–this aligns with the start of Noibu's internal development cycle.
If you have questions about a fix or improvement, contact Noibu support with the issue's reference key.

| NOI-6855 | Resolved an issue that caused the Sessions table to clear if a user clicked the menu link twice. | A user can click the Sessions link multiple times without causing the table to clear. |

| NOI-7211 | Adjusted the scrollable element in the Session timeline to reset so the scroll is at the proper position for the page visit, rather than hidden below the fold. | When a user opens a session in Session Peek, the timeline will reset to focus on the page view where the issue occurs, rather than the top of the timeline. |
| NOI-7214 | Added a pause event to trigger when a user clicks the pin icon in the session timeline. | If a user click the pin icon to open the Pin modal during a session recording, the playback will pause until the user has finished their comment and closed the modal.
