## NEW - API Beta

> **Current API guidance**

We're excited to share that our API feature is now available in Beta!

This gives you the opportunity to start integrating our platform with your own systems and workflows ahead of the full release.

If you'd like early access to the API Dashboard, the Account Owner can request it by reaching out to our Support Team, either through the support button in Astalty or by emailing us at <support@astalty.com.au>

## Longer name descriptions for document templates

We've improved document [Templates](https://app.astalty.com.au/settings/templates) to support longer name descriptions, giving you the freedom to be more descriptive when naming your templates.

This small but powerful change makes it much easier for your team to quickly identify and choose the right template. Instead of relying on short or vague names, you can now:

- Add extra detail to explain the purpose of each template
- Clearly distinguish between similar templates
- Reduce errors and save time during document creation

By giving your templates more meaningful names, you're helping your users feel more confident in their selection and ensuring documents are created with greater accuracy.

## Billable Charges Report Update

We've fixed an issue in the [Billable Charges Report](https://app.astalty.com.au/reports/finance/billable-charges) where deactivated users weren't available in the Team Member filter, even though their charges still appeared in the report.

To make things consistent, deactivated users now appear in the Team Member filter, ensuring you can easily filter and review all billable charges, past and present.
