A major update for CrowForge. Sheets now supports multi-tab Excel workbooks and a rebuilt formula engine, game developers can report bugs directly from Unity 6, and Team Mode is more reliable and secure.
📊 Sheets — Multi-Tab Workbooks
Create workbooks with multiple tabs: add, rename, recolour, reorder, duplicate and delete worksheets.
Reference cells across worksheets, such as =Revenue!B4. Renaming a tab automatically updates the formulas referencing it.
Duplicate individual worksheets or entire workbooks.
The AI Agent can read and edit all tabs within a selected workbook.
🧮 Rebuilt Excel-Compatible Formula Engine
Around 100 spreadsheet functions, including SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, AVERAGEIFS, lookups, text functions, TEXT(), EDATE, EOMONTH, NPV, IRR and PMT.
Excel-style operator precedence, absolute references, array calculations and standard spreadsheet error codes.
Correct date calculations and comparisons.
Circular references are detected and reported clearly.
Validated against a real 10-tab financial model: all 2,493 formulas matched Excel's calculated results.
📥 Excel Import, Export & Formatting
Import .xlsx and .xls files as multi-tab workbooks.
Preserve Excel cell positions and formulas when importing.
Preserve number formats including currencies, percentages, dates, negative values and custom formats.
Export all workbook tabs to a single XLSX file.
Improved percentage handling consistent with Excel.
🔲 Merged Cells
Merge and unmerge selected cells directly from the toolbar.
Merged regions stay attached to their cells when inserting, deleting, sorting, duplicating or moving rows and columns.
Keyboard navigation and selection handle merged cells as a single region.
🎮 CrowForge Bridge — Unity 6 Editor Integration
Report bugs, manage assigned work and jump directly into CrowForge without leaving the Unity Editor.
Easy installation: Download the .unitypackage from Settings → Integrations and import it into your Unity 6 project.
One editor window: Window → CrowForge provides My Work, Report and Setup tabs.
Detailed bug reports: Set the title, description, project, issue type, severity, priority and assignee, including custom severities.
Automatic screenshots: Capture the Game view during play mode or the Scene view otherwise, or attach an existing image.
Console diagnostics: Automatically include recent errors, exceptions, assertions and stack traces, with duplicate messages grouped.
Unity context: Include the active scene, selected GameObject, Unity version, build target, play mode and render pipeline.
Context menu reporting: Right-click an object in the Hierarchy or Project window and select Report bug to CrowForge.
Keyboard shortcut: Alt+Shift+B by default, customizable in Unity's Shortcuts settings.
My Work: View assigned items, filter by project or issue type, read descriptions and acceptance criteria, and update statuses directly.
Open in CrowForge: Jump directly to the corresponding issue or project task.
Local and team support: Connect automatically to CrowForge on the same machine, or use an API key for shared team servers.
Editor-only: No third-party dependencies or additional components included in your game build.
🔗 Deep Links & Issue Tracker
New crowforge://task/… links open the exact work item in CrowForge, including the portable Steam version.
Bugs open in the Issue Tracker and other work items open on their respective project boards.
Deep links now work reliably while boards are loading or when active filters hide the referenced item.
🔒 Team Mode — Security & Reliability
Reliable cold starts: Slower backend startup no longer triggers a false startup failure or signs users out of their team server.
Persistent onboarding: Joining a team server correctly completes initial setup, preventing the setup wizard from appearing on every launch.
Protected server endpoints: Remote password recovery and account creation now require the server key.
Account deactivation: Deactivated users cannot sign in, and their existing sessions are immediately invalidated.
Clear session messages: Unexpected session termination now displays an explanation instead of silently returning to login.
Smoother switching between Solo and Team modes.
Team user counts are retrieved correctly from the remote server.
🛠️ Fixes & Polish
Reference pickers in Canvas and project-management tasks now display workbooks instead of listing every worksheet separately.
Expanded in-app Help with Unity plugin installation, setup, bug reporting and My Work documentation.
Additional internal cleanup and stability improvements.
CrowForge remains 100% local-first — your documents, models and data stay under your control. No cloud account required.
Happy forging! 🐦⬛
