Features and versions
CLIO’s documentation covers the current development version as well as the published app. Development build means the feature is implemented in the source being prepared for a release. It does not mean your installed app has already received it.
If a screenshot does not match your app
Section titled “If a screenshot does not match your app”- Check the app’s version in its About or update information.
- Open Settings → Desktop → App updates to inspect available updates.
- Look for the Version note in the guide; it names the CLIO version the pictured controls need. Where an image names a UI revision and capture date, those identify the pictured interface. An Earlier demo label identifies an older example; the website’s version does not change the version shown in that image.
- If you use a lab service, ask its administrator which Agent version is running. Updating Desktop alone does not update a remote lab service.
The current stable release is v0.9.6.6, and these guides describe it. The previous stable release was v0.9.6.5. App updates offer stable releases only; to try a beta, install it from its release page. Use the release list for subsequent releases. Draft releases are not available through normal app updates.
Guides with newer controls
Section titled “Guides with newer controls”These guides describe controls that v0.9.5.1 does not have. They need v0.9.6.1 or later.
| Guide | What v0.9.5.1 lacks |
|---|---|
| Use the browser with CLIO | The browser panel the agent uses, signing in to sites yourself and choosing which sites it may load. |
| Commands and @ mentions | Bringing a subagent, workflow, flow or tool server into the conversation with @. |
| Comment on results | Marking part of a document, figure or web page and saying what to change. Comments on answers are in v0.9.5.1. |
| Write a paper | LaTeX papers built beside their source, comments on either and their versions. |
| Scripts and background work | Scripts that call the agent’s tools, their approval, and scripts that keep running in the background. |
| Watch something live | Dashboards that update by themselves from a job, an instrument or a device. |
| Explore charts and dashboards | Live sources for dashboards. |
| Follow work in progress | The session plan in the Plan section of Work. |
| Choose what CLIO may do | Default permissions for each tool and the approval of scripts. |
| Updates during a conversation | The Reminders tab in Settings → Prompts and commands. |
| National Data Platform | The NDP agent. In v0.9.5.1 the standard agent searches NDP itself. |
| Build with the SDK | Script bindings, plugin server settings, per-tool permissions and host_call. v0.9.5.1 includes the rest of the SDK. |
You can still use ordinary conversations, attach supported files and review the outputs your installation provides. Follow the labels you actually see; a missing preview feature is not evidence that your data or model is configured incorrectly.
A feature may depend on the connection
Section titled “A feature may depend on the connection”The selected model, connected CLIO service and installed tools determine which features can run. For example, a local model connection does not automatically provide model-attention records, and a specialist agent can need an institutional service or credentials. Read its requirements before selecting it.
For a supported source build, your administrator can use Server and terminal setup. You do not need to build CLIO from source to follow the basic introduction.
