Variants are live! You can now define multiple configurations of a component — different materials, sizes, colors, whatever dimensions matter to your product — and manage them as a family instead of duplicating parts across your workspace.

What's new

Variant comparison. New tab on component pages shows side-by-side diffs across all variants in a set. See what's different — attributes, assemblies, attached files — in one view.

"Has variants" filter. Component search now lets you filter to parts with variants defined. Helpful when you're auditing coverage or looking for examples of how other teams structured their variant families.

Change Order version naming control. Onshape integration now respects a workspace-level setting for how CO versions get named in your CAD system. For teams with strict naming conventions that need to carry through.

Session recovery. If your auth token expires mid-workflow, the app now refreshes it automatically instead of bouncing you to login. Less disruptive during long-running operations.

Improvements & fixes

• Tightened up the variant tab layout to match the rest of the component detail page.

• Fixed edge cases where draft change orders would incorrectly block component updates.

• Cleaned up a race condition in token refresh that could cause unpredictable auth behavior.

• RefDes validation improving, allowing duplicate values across assemblies
