## Builder Updates

### Semantic Search in Builder

Search for components in Builder using natural language queries. This is a powerful feature that helps you find the right components for your pipeline quickly and easily. To find a component:
1. In Builder, open the Component Library.
2. Type your query in the search bar using natural language. For example, "generate text from documents" or "rank search results by relevance". The library will suggest components that match your query.

For details, see [Create a Pipeline in Builder](/docs/how-to-guides/designing-your-pipeline/create-a-pipeline/create-a-pipeline-in-studio.mdx#finding-components-with-semantic-search).

### Improved File Preview in Playground

Uploaded file previews in Playground now work correctly for all supported file types. Image files (PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, SVG) now display inline as images instead of being treated as binary content. Other file types also benefit from improved MIME type detection, so PDFs, text files, and other formats render reliably after upload.

For details on supported preview formats, see [Upload Files](/docs/how-to-guides/working-with-your-data/upload-files.mdx).

### Organizing Components with Groups

Group components to organize them and make your pipelines more readable. Groups help you keep related components together and you can collapse them to reduce visual clutter.

To create a group, click the **Groups** button (group icon) in the bottom right corner of the canvas. Then click and drag on the canvas to draw a rectangle around the components you want to group.

Keyboard shortcut: Press **Cmd+G** (Mac) or **Ctrl+G** (Windows/Linux) to activate group drawing mode, then draw the rectangle. Press **Esc** to cancel drawing mode.

Groups are saved with your pipeline and restored when you reload the builder.

## Updated Editor Role

The Editor role can now manage workspace members, including adding and removing them, and updating their roles. For details, see [User Roles and Permissions](/docs/concepts/user-roles-and-permissions.mdx).

## Simpler Pipeline Versions

Creating a new draft version no longer fails when a draft already exists. If you create a new draft and one already exists, the existing draft is automatically finalized and a new draft is created in its place. You only see a conflict error if another user is actively editing the existing draft. For details, see [Manage Pipeline Versions](/docs/how-to-guides/designing-your-pipeline/manage-pipeline-versions.mdx).
