What’s new opens a dated list of shipped features without leaving Hex. The sidebar entry is always there; it never opens automatically.

🆕 Now you can open the exact YOLO mode card in Labs or the Sounds picker in General. Neither link changes a setting. An update still links to its own release notes, and the release-notes lab makes the current version clickable.

+ Sidebar → What's new → highlight YOLO mode or open Sounds
  Staged update → release notes for that update
Before After
Sidebar before Feature feed

👀 Read: Each highlight opens the same control as its settings page. Labs supplies its title, date, summary and availability.

Checks run
  • Linux: cargo nextest run --locked --profile ci --bin hex passed, including the dark/light navigation snapshots and the assertion that settings stay identical after each click.
  • macOS: cargo check --locked --bin hex; 6 updater-notes tests and 28 translation tests passed.
  • These are headless fixtures, not a live installation test.
