Agenda Extraction from Board Packs & Smarter Multi-Entity Setup
Starlight now reads your board pack and builds a structured agenda automatically — numbered, nested, and ready to review before minutes are generated. You can accept, edit, reorder, and add items in meeting setup without retyping from the pack. When a combined board pack covers several entities, Starlight detects them and routes each to the right knowledge base so minutes stay scoped and accurate. Uploading files to a knowledge base is easier on smaller screens, Word exports honour your template alignment settings, and minutes generation no longer fails when list items begin with a year or count.
NEW FEATURES
Extract a Structured Agenda from Your Board Pack
Why we updated this
Before every board or committee meeting, someone still had to read through the board pack and manually type the agenda into Starlight — item by item, often copying numbering, sub-items, and notes from a PDF. On longer packs that work was slow, error-prone, and easy to put off until the last minute.
How it works now
Meeting setup now includes an Agenda section that reads the documents you have tagged as agenda documents in Document types — the same source of truth you already use for the pack. Starlight extracts a structured agenda with numbered items, nested sub-items, and notes, then presents it for review. You can accept or dismiss individual items, accept all at once, or edit inline — adding, duplicating, deleting, and drag-reordering rows as needed. A link back to Document types makes it clear which files drive the extraction.
What to do
Tag your agenda document in Document types on the meeting setup page, then open the Agenda section and choose Extract. Review the results, adjust anything that needs a tweak, and save as usual — no new configuration required.
IMPROVEMENTS
Multi-Entity Board Packs Route to the Right Knowledge Base
Why we updated this
When a single board pack covers several entities — common in fund administration — minutes generation needed each entity's context kept separate. Without that separation, content from one entity could bleed into another's output.
How it works now
Agenda extraction now detects the entities named in a combined board pack. In meeting setup you map each detected entity to its knowledge base, and Starlight fans the pack out into entity-specific generation lanes — scoping the agenda and context so each set of minutes draws only from the right material.
What to do
When agenda extraction detects multiple entities, map each one to its knowledge base in meeting setup before generating minutes. Existing single-entity meetings are unchanged.
Knowledge Base Uploads Work on Smaller Screens
Why we updated this
When uploading documents to a knowledge base on a laptop with zoom enabled or a shorter browser window, the Add files button and footer actions could sit below the visible area — leaving no obvious way to finish the upload without resizing the window or zooming out.
How it works now
The file upload modal now keeps its footer pinned in place while the file list and drop zone scroll above it, so Add files and the rest of the actions stay reachable at any viewport height. The file list layout was also tidied up for clearer selection when adding one or many files.
What to do
No action needed — open Upload files on any knowledge base as usual; the modal adapts automatically.
FIXES
Multi-Page Agenda Documents Are Fully Scanned
Why we updated this
Agenda documents that ran across several pages could occasionally be cut short during extraction, leaving later items missing from the structured agenda.
How it works now
Starlight now scans the full length of multi-page agenda documents rather than stopping partway through, so every page contributes to the extracted agenda.
What to do
No action needed — re-run extraction on any meeting where a long agenda document previously looked incomplete.
Freshly Generated Minutes Open on the Latest Version
Why we updated this
After generating a new set of minutes, Starlight sometimes opened an older version instead of the one that had just finished — forcing you to hunt through the version selector to find the document you had been waiting for.
How it works now
When generation completes, Starlight now selects the most recently created minutes for the agent and knowledge base you used, and opens that version straight away. The version picker stays in sync with what just finished.
What to do
No action needed — the next time you generate minutes, Starlight opens the latest version automatically.
Minutes Generation No Longer Fails on Years and Counts in Lists
Why we updated this
When a numbered list item began with a bare year or count — common in board papers, such as "2025 Capital Markets Assumptions" — Starlight could misread it as a manual numbering marker and abort the generation job entirely.
How it works now
Starlight now distinguishes genuine manual numbering from legitimate numeric content at the start of a list item, so years, counts, and similar values no longer trigger a false rejection during minutes generation.
What to do
No action needed — re-run generation on any meeting that previously failed for this reason.
Word Export Alignment Matches Your Template
Why we updated this
When exporting minutes to Word, paragraph alignment settings from your document styling template could be applied in the wrong order — leaving some sections misaligned compared with what your template defines.
How it works now
Alignment overrides from your styling template now take precedence in the correct sequence when Starlight builds the exported .docx, so the finished document reflects your template's alignment rules consistently.
What to do
No action needed — re-export any minutes where a previous Word download looked misaligned.
