Release Version 88
This week's update continues the trend of minimal changes and a focus on bug fixes.
Range selection behavior
Having a range selection no longer stops playback when the end of the range has been reached. In the past, playback would only play the selected range and then stop automatically.
Bug Fixes

- Fixed a bug where changing a speaker label would revert after changing other speaker names
- Fixed a bug preventing access to Quick Recordings in Drive view
- Fixed a bug causing the second recording to fail after stopping a recording and starting another one
- Fixed a crash that could occur in rare circumstances when deleting a word at the end of a composition

Release Version 87
Descript Labs: New Canvas selection tools
We’re adding some new tools to Descript Labs. When you select clips from the Canvas, there will be a new drop-down allowing you to apply Layout changes to
This Scene
or All Scenes.
For non-script layers, this same option is mirrored on the Project sidebar.
Important note: this Labs experience is dependent on enabling the New Timeline experience first. You can disable it and leave the New Timeline on, but you cannot enable it without first enabling the New Timeline.
Sales Tax on Subscription and Transcription fees
Starting in April, subscriptions and other fees may incur additional charges for sales tax in some US states. See here for specific states, information on adding your tax details to your account, and what to do if you are tax-exempt: Do Descript subscription and transcription fees include taxes?

Patch Release 86.0.1
- Fixed an issue where attempting to remove a clip on the timeline by trimming it did not take effect.
fixed
Release Version 86
Descript version 86 is a backend update and a change to how we handle releases internally. It's being released a bit earlier than our normal cycle to facilitate those changes and get some bug fixes in place.
We'll be back to our normal two-week release cadence for v87.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue with Google authentication that could lead to login issues in some cases.
- Fixed a bug causing some media to appear in the share page but not the project.
- Fixed a bug that caused Quick Recordings to fail with unrecoverable files.
- We released a backend hotfix to address a bug causing Descript Share pages load to a blank screen with no playback. No downloads or app updates are required.

Release Version 85
Editor Updates
You can now edit or add Speaker Labels to a highlighted section of your script. Just highlight a range of text in the Script and use the keyboard shortcut
Shift+2 (@)
or click the ellipses […]
menu on the Selection toolbar. Speaking of the Selection Toolbar, we’ve updated it to include a Dropdown menu under the Ignore (strikethrough) icon that includes options to Ignore media, Delete media, Replace with Gap Clip, and Remove from Transcript.
Drive Admin Updates
Finally, we made it so that Drive Admins can change the access level of a guest member on a Project. On individual projects, Admins can choose between Can Edit, Can Comment, and Make Owner for their guest member permissions.
Bug Fixes:
- The keyboard shortcuts for speaker labels (@)and markers(#)now work as expected on non-US keyboards.
- Fixed a bug preventing Basic users with Admin permissions from changing project members.
- Fixed a bug causing Animations to stutter in published versions of a project.
- Fixed an issue where the toggle for Soloing on/off in a Sequence track failed to execute.
- Fixed a bug causing Edit in Descript projects coming from SquadCast to transcribe in English even with a different language was selected.
