🚀 ClearPoint Next 4.5 Release Highlights!

Hey there,

We’re back with ClearPoint Next version 4.5! This release brings smarter AI access across more locations, improvements to report editing and navigation, and a new embedded G2 review experience. We've also squashed a number of bugs and continued tightening up the visual polish throughout the platform.

Here’s what’s new:

✨ Newly Available in CP Next

🤖 AI Now Available in More Places

AI-powered analysis and recommendations can now be launched directly from:

• Summary reports (inline edits)
• The Manage Elements list view
• The Edit Element drawer

This gives users quicker access to contextual insights from wherever they work.

⭐ G2 Review Link Now Embedded in ClearPoint

It’s now easier than ever to leave a review on G2—without having to log in or create an account. Our new G2 integration lets users:

• Launch the G2 review directly from within ClearPoint
• Automatically log in using their ClearPoint credentials
• Share meaningful feedback in just a few clicks

This feature is embedded securely in CP Next and available to admins for broader outreach.
