## Platform Improvements [​](https://docs.clarifai.com/product-updates/changelog/release111/\#platform-improvements "Direct link to Platform Improvements")

| Status | Change | Details |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  | Made platform improvements | - We've enhanced several elements of the top navigation bar for a more seamless experience. Notably, the drop-down menu for switching between an organization workspace and a personal workspace has moved from the upper right to the upper left. <br>- We've introduced the ability to automatically generate a cover image for a resource based on its short description. This capability is available only for users on [paid plans](/content/pricing/index.html). |

## Control Center [​](https://docs.clarifai.com/product-updates/changelog/release111/\#control-center "Direct link to Control Center")

| Status | Change | Details |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  | Improved the [Control Center](https://docs.clarifai.com/portal-guide/control-center/) | - We've improved the Control Center experience on mobile devices for smoother navigation and better usability.<br>- We've improved the Overview page by adding animations that suggest charts users can pin. This allows users to easily access the charts they want to analyze. <br>- We've improved table columns to now sort items based on their data type: dates (oldest to newest), words (A to Z), and numbers (lowest to highest). <br>- We've added links in Usage & Operations charts that direct you to related charts in the Costs & Budget page, and vice versa. For example, the Total inputs chart now has a link in the lower right corner to view its associated cost chart. |
|  | Fixed bugs in the Control Center | - Previously, when you selected a date range in the Control Center and navigated away, the selection would not persist upon returning. Instead, it would revert to the default "Last 7 Days" setting. We fixed the issue to ensure the selection persists.<br>- Previously, the toast notification that appears when a chart is pinned could sometimes be hidden under the fixed header. We've fixed this issue to ensure the notification remains visible at the top. <br>- Previously, when selecting a date range in the calendar using options like ‘This week’, ‘This month’, or ‘This quarter’, the apply button would be disabled because future dates were inadvertently included in the selection. We fixed the issue. Additionally, if you click on a single date, the selection period will automatically reset to the chosen date. |

## Python SDK [​](https://docs.clarifai.com/product-updates/changelog/release111/\#python-sdk "Direct link to Python SDK")

| Status | Change | Details |
| --- | --- | --- |

## Base Workflow [​](https://docs.clarifai.com/product-updates/changelog/release111/\#base-workflow "Direct link to Base Workflow")

| Status | Change | Details |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  | Changed the default [base workflow](https://docs.clarifai.com/api-guide/workflows/base-workflows/) for apps created via the API | - Previously, when an application was created via the API without specifying a base workflow, the [Universal](/content/clarifai/main/workflows/Universal/index.html) workflow was used by default. Now, the default has been updated to the [General](/content/clarifai/main/workflows/General/index.html) workflow for better performance. |
