ATLAS.ti Changelog

What's new in ATLAS.ti 24.1.0

Apr 15, 2024
  • New and Improved:
  • Improved Network Editor Experience. The network editor has a new look, new layout options, new edge routing options, and is easier to use than before.
  • Select AI Server Region. Privacy-minded users can now choose to restrict AI tools to only use servers within the EU or the US.
  • Selectively Apply AI Coding. Before applying results from AI Coding or Intentional AI Coding, you now have the opportunity to review and select which codes to apply.
  • Improved Display of Long Code Names in Margin
  • We have improved how we display very long code names in the margin. It should now be much easier to distinguish codes that only differ at their end, and there is special handling for codes under categories with long names. And if you still need to read the whole name, just mouse over the code, and ATLAS.ti will show it without delay.
  • Automatically group in-vivo codes and codes from intentional coding
  • Sort codes by color in code manager
  • Expand and collapse all selected items in tree views like the project explorer by hitting the cursor right/left keys.
  • Export Sankey diagrams as PDF
  • ATLAS.ti now remembers the last margin size

New in ATLAS.ti 23.2.1 (Jun 27, 2023)

  • AI Summaries powered by OpenAI:
  • Let AI automatically summarize your documents and coded quotations – get the gist in seconds instead of sifting through mountains of data, so you can concentrate on what's important. AI Summaries seamlessly integrate into memos, enabling versatile linking, conversion into documents, and coding.
  • Link Memos to (Almost) Everything:
  • ATLAS.ti has pioneered interconnected data in the QDA world. More than a decade ago, we introduced Network Views, visualizing quotation-quotation hyperlinks and enabling complex code systems that go far beyond a simple codebook as a list of codes.
  • Today, we introduce more powerful linking of Memos than ever before. You can now link Memos to any combination of Documents, Codes, Quotations, other Memos, Groups – even Networks!
  • And we've made it easier than ever before to create and link a Memo when you want to start writing about any entity. Simply hover over it in the navigator on the left side of the main window, click the link icon that appears, and choose "New Memo".
  • Linking existing memos is as easy as dragging the memo onto the entity you want to link it with – or vice versa.
  • Improved Networks:
  • While we were at it, we updated the color of links displayed in networks, and removed some differences between the Windows and Mac versions. We also overhauled adding "neighbors" (linked entities) to networks. Right-click any node in a network view and choose "Import Neighbors".
  • More Reliable AI Coding:
  • During the ongoing beta phase of AI Coding, we have been working on improving reliability and robustness of AI Coding. If you got a lot of errors before, we encourage you to try again!
  • Copy Quotation Text Only:
  • Users asked to be able to copy quotation content without the reference and link. This is now possible from the context menu.
  • UI Improvements:
  • New Icons in the ribbons, more space, and simplified manager ribbons for a cleaner look, faster access, less switching and more clarity. Expect more UI decluttering in the future. We also made it easier to see which list has focus, and cleaned up a little in the context menus.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Renaming entities is now fast again
  • Fixed an issue when undoing text edits
  • Various stability improvements
  • Fixed an error that could occur when exporting certain projects after merging them
  • Fixed an issue where merging codes via context menu was sometimes not working
  • Fixed code folder display in various tools
  • "Add to stop list" now works properly again in word frequencies

New in ATLAS.ti 23.1.1 (Mar 29, 2023)

  • AI Coding (Beta) Powered by OpenAI:
  • Say goodbye to endless manual coding and hello to AI-driven assistance on autopilot fueled by the cutting-edge GPT model. With our OpenAI-powered software, you can complete your research projects 10X faster. Fully automated code proposals take the grunt work out of your hands, so you can focus on refinement and analysis for optimized scientific accuracy.
  • Comment Editors now Open in new Windows
  • Improved Ribbons in Co-Occurrence and Code-Document Analysis Tools

New in ATLAS.ti 23.0.7 (Feb 3, 2023)

  • Fixed an issue that slowed down successively coding with multiple codes.

New in ATLAS.ti 23.0.6 (Jan 18, 2023)

  • New and Improved:
  • Upload and Share Projects in the Cloud (Beta):
  • You can now upload your projects to the ATLAS.ti cloud. Share your projects with collaborators, work from multiple computers, or just use it as a backup. In the project list, simply click the three dots and choose "Upload".
  • Every user gets 100 MB of free storage during the beta period, enough for thousands of text documents.
  • Co-Occurrence Cluster Analysis:
  • The co-occurrence tools have gained a new visualization mode, the force-directed graph. This fully interactive tool lets you easily visualize clusters of co-occurrence, play around with your data, and export beautiful images illustrating your data.
  • As with all our visualizations, it is not just a picture, but fully integrated: It always shows the current data, and tasks like changing the color of a code are just a right-click away.
  • While we were at it, we also cleaned up the co-occurrence analysis tools a little. The layout is cleaner, and we have removed the co-occurrence explorer, and integrated its functionality here.
  • New Co-Occurrence Result Display:
  • ATLAS.ti now displays co-occurrences in a much more intuitive way. We have replaced the two lists of quotations with one list that shows overlaps just like you know from the margin in documents. This not only makes it much easier to understand, but also reduced the need to go to the document to view the quotations in context (which you can still do with a single click, of course).
  • New Analysis Context Menu:
  • Because you can do so much, the context menu on codes, documents and groups had become quite long. We have reordered it and put all analysis and text mining functionality into the Analysis submenu.
  • And while we were at it, we added some new functionality to make it easier to explore your codings. You can now jump right into the co-occurrence and code-document analysis tools from anywhere in the app. Just right-click a code or codes — or code groups — and you will find multiple options in the new Analysis submenu:
  • Show Co-Occurrences Between Codes (only available when you have multiple codes selected) will open the co-occurrence analysis tool and pre-select the codes you had selected for both columns and rows. This lets you easily identify how these codes co-occur with one another. ATLAS.ti automatically removes rows and columns that show zero co-occurrences.
  • Show Co-Occurrences will show all codes that co-occur with the selected code or codes (or code groups).
  • Code-Document analysis works on documents (and document groups) as well as on codes (and code groups). Clicking it will open the code-document analysis tool. If you invoked the tool on codes, it will automatically show all documents that the codes are coding in. If you invoked it on documents, it will show all the codes coding in the selected documents. Empty rows and columns will be automatically removed.
  • Full Text Search, Sentiment Analysis, and Named Entity Recognition in Coded Quotations:
  • We have added a new scope to our powerful text search and autocoding tools. You can now restrict your search to look only in quotations coded with certain codes or code groups. Of course, lexemization (finding inflected forms) and synonyms work as expected. You can also quickly access these features from the Analysis context menu mentioned above.
  • TreeMap view for documents:
  • The document manager has gained a fully interactive TreeMap visualization. This lets you easily see and compare the number of codings in each document, and of course export it as an image to showcase your data.
  • TreeMap view for Word Frequencies:
  • We have merged the word cloud and word list feature into one tool, and added a TreeMap visualization as well. So now you can switch between list, word cloud, and tree map view modes while keeping your search scope and options.
