Fixes
After updating to this version, the Find and Replace Picture action no longer fails to detect images when the respective alternative text (alt text) contains multiple lines, and it now correctly identifies and processes pictures even when the alt text contains multiple lines.
If you have used multiple Find and Replace Picture action within the same automation, the execution flow is now corrected to ensure that all the configured find & replace operations run sequentially and consistently within the same Word document.
The Insert text action no longer fails to process plain text containing URL‑formatted content even if the text is inserted into the document as the text‑insertion logic handles the URL strings correctly.
