Just want to highlight that this release addresses a Community Product suggestion from @Akira in this thread [Image input widget can handle Base64String as a data source](https://community.tulip.co/t/image-input-widget-can-handle-base64string-as-a-data-source/5674) 🎉

Thanks for the great suggestion and helping to make Tulip even better 😃

Both **New** and **Old** screenshot of the “App Developer mode” seems to be the same in the announcement.

Hi @ta-aoki,

Great catch - the image has been updated.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/1/1db5a4a4c70cf986b7b01322cf4c4778ca8b9e17.png)

The key difference is the “return to app” link is replaced with the back button.

Thanks,

Jake

Hey @youri.regnaud -

Yep! Files are generally bigger, so we are doing this carefully, but the design pattern is intended to support this specifically. Do you have a use case where this would be useful?

Of course, download pdf from Windchill (drawing, …) and embedded files in our apps and maybe tomorrow build a custom widget for 3D visualization.

Thank you for the fix!

May be this here should be two separate bullet point?
