User Profiles, Collapsible Sidebars & Classification Reviews

May 10, 2026
Confluence Range Filter

The cultures page now supports filtering by confluence percentage range, letting you quickly isolate cultures within a specific confluence window. Enter minimum and maximum percentage values in the range modal, and the filter pill displays your active range (e.g., "Confluence ≥ 30%") so it's always clear what's applied. This is built on a reusable number-range filter operator, so additional numeric filters can follow the same pattern in the future.

Classification Approval Workflow

Image classification culture reviews now include a formal approval workflow. Reviewers can approve or reject pending reviews directly from the plate and well views, and culture status automatically updates on approval — no manual status change needed.

Details

  • Omnibar review UI: A new omnibar on the well page lets reviewers approve or reject pending culture reviews with keyboard shortcuts, with a toggleable review mode for focused batch review
  • Plate-level visual indicators: Well borders on the plate hero reflect review status at a glance, so reviewers can see which wells still need attention without clicking into each one
  • Filter by review status: New filter checkboxes (Pending, Approved, Rejected) let reviewers narrow the plate view to just the wells in a specific review state
More Space for Images

What's Changing

Scientists can now reclaim screen space while reviewing images by resizing or fully hiding the metadata sidebar — and still jump to any sidebar tab instantly via icon click.

Deep Dive Details

Resize or Hide the Sidebar: Drag the sidebar to any width or collapse it completely. The main image expands to fill the freed space.

Resizable Graphs: Charts like Confluence Over Time and Confluence Distribution automatically reflow as the sidebar resizes. Additional tooltips surface inline data points (e.g. Feb 14, 6:31 AM — Confluence: 826).

Scroll for More Tabs: When the sidebar is narrow, the tab bar scrolls horizontally so no tabs are lost.

Quick Icon Navigation: In collapsed mode, clicking a sidebar icon (Metadata, Comments, etc.) expands directly to that tab — no extra click required.


Manage Your Profile

What's Changing

Users now have a dedicated Account page to manage their identity and credentials without contacting an admin.

Deep Dive Details

New Settings Page: The Account page (accessible from the user menu) consolidates name, email display, avatar, and password controls.

Reset Password by Email: Clicking "Send Password Reset Email" triggers a secure reset link to the user's registered address — passwords are never set inline.

Manage Your Photo: Upload a new avatar (PNG, JPEG, or WebP up to 5 MB) or remove the current one via the avatar context menu (Change avatar / Remove avatar).
