Moving files in and out of Altera through the [ChatGPT and Claude connector](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/14884915-connect-altera-to-claude) is smoother now, especially when your assistant runs in a locked-down environment.

### What's New

- **Inline imports** - your assistant can pass a file's contents straight to Altera instead of uploading to a separate URL, so imports work even in restricted environments.
- **Direct job links** - job status now returns a link that opens the job right in your Shopify admin.

### Improvements

- **Fewer network settings** - importing and downloading files through an assistant no longer needs you to allow extra domains, and small exports come back ready to read.
