PolicyVector 1.2.1 brings Windows forward from 1.1.0. It includes the shared desktop improvements first released on Mac in 1.2.0, plus new agency setup, SCSO import and outline support, local reset improvements, and PDF security fixes.
Windows 1.2.1; macOS 1.2.1 will follow separately. Cross-device features require compatible PolicyVector versions and their accompanying services.
SCSO manuals and first-time setup
- Adds Sacramento County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) alongside CHP when setting up a new library, with agency-specific chapters, policy numbering, and outline formatting.
- Imports complete SCSO manuals through a local page-range review. Check or correct the proposed policies before duplicate and confidentiality review; the original manual is retained.
- Preserves accented names and punctuation when reopening saved manual-import reviews on Windows.
- Keeps SCSO policies in confidentiality review until you classify them. SCSO Live Sync requires compatible clients and the updated service; SCSO study-package export is not yet available.
- Delete Local Data and Disconnect now returns to agency selection after a successful reset, while keeping other settings, license state, and downloaded local models.
Policy-page bookmarks
- Adds bookmarks with editable titles and notes, themed page ribbons, search, and direct return to the saved policy page.
- Exports bookmark lists and notes to CSV and includes supported bookmarks in mobile study packages and encrypted sync.
- Keeps bookmarks tied to the correct policy revision, explains unavailable sources, and warns before policy replacement removes attached study material.
Live Sync, conflicts, and deleted items
- Fixes stalled uploads in libraries containing bookmarks, repairs upload routing, and improves recovery after interrupted connections without requiring a new workspace.
- Automatically combines independent flashcard and outline edits and clears redundant conflicts. Competing changes to the same content still remain available for review.
- Prevents stale edits from restoring deleted items and lets eligible queued deletions reach other devices. Missing downloads alone are not treated as deletions.
- Keeps a blocked study collection from stopping other eligible uploads and gives clearer explanations for storage limits, missing dependencies, and recovery steps.
- Reduces duplicate policy publication after workspace reset and improves duplicate review. Reclaims cloud storage for deleted files when no other library content needs them and server cleanup succeeds.
Flashcards, outlines, and saved study material
- Shows saved flashcards in a table with full questions, answers, policy sources, and review progress. Adds selection and confirmed bulk deletion for flashcards, practice tests, and Oral Board scripts.
- Adds expandable outline groups, clearer passage labels and position feedback, and selection for deleting individual passages or groups.
- Preserves supported bold, italic, underlined text, and list markers in outlines, compatible desktop/mobile exchanges, and Word and Google Docs exports.
- Receives Multiple Choice tests created in compatible Mobile clients so you can continue studying on Windows.
Oral Board reading and partner practice
- Separates script reading, editing, and checkpoint building into clearer views and saves pending edits before navigation.
- Creates checkpoints from selected script text, with editable summaries that you can write or draft using your configured AI. Margin markers show and reopen checkpoint summaries.
- Adds live-partner practice with a pauseable timer, manual scoring, Finish & Save, and Discard Attempt. No microphone is required for partner practice.
- Synchronizes partner-practice mode and elapsed time with compatible Mobile clients.
PDF reading and redaction review
- Adds pinch-to-zoom in supported PDF views while keeping the passage under the pointer in view, and reuses painted pages during the gesture for smoother zooming.
- Improves opening zoom and navigation in redaction review, restores side-by-side comparison, and adds clearer drawing, resizing, removal, Accept, Reset, and Clear All controls.
- Follows shaded passages and joins touching markings while preserving unshaded gaps and separate columns. Keeps grouping stable after saving and reopening.
Settings and account access
- Organizes Settings into General, Audio & Oral Board, AI, Library, Live Sync, Account & Connections, Storage & Backups, and Help & About.
- Adds submenus and keyboard navigation, updates Windows menu destinations, and saves each panel independently so another panel's unfinished edits stay unsaved.
- Groups local storage, encrypted backups, and maintenance controls, with contextual help and direct support links.
- Adds phone QR approval and email-code sign-in for supported linked accounts, recognizes supported Apple-purchase account identities, and improves expired-sign-in recovery. Account linking depends on the corresponding service; this does not add an Apple checkout to Windows.
AI, startup, and backup reliability
- Skips confidential sources without approved redacted copies during cloud practice-test generation, explains which sources were skipped, and asks for eligible material when none remains. Prevents duplicate test submissions.
- Checks that the correct local backend is ready before opening Windows and shows database startup errors directly instead of waiting on an apparently open port.
- Keeps OneDrive connection-status checks responsive during transfers and improves backup validation, compatibility, and free-space checks before restoration.
- Updates the bundled PDF and networking dependencies, including fixes for reported excessive-memory and long-processing PDF vulnerabilities.
