- Batch…: Override Save and Override Export name each file with the extension of the format the step writes, however the step spells the format (`.svg` and `SVG` give `.svg`, `png8` gives `.png`), in `action.batch`.
- Actions panel (record/playback, persisted), generic parameter dialogs for every "…" command.
- Batch… over data sets names each file after the document and the data set (`action.batch`). It writes `/`, `\`, `:`, `<`, `>`, `"`, `|`, `?`, `*` and control characters in the data set's name as `-`, and adds `-2`, `-3`… to a name an earlier data set used.
- Export for Screens: the dialog's Example line shows the path of the file the export writes first, sub-folder included, named as the export names it, for the first chosen artboard, asset, layer or object (`document.exportForScreens`).
- Export for Screens is laid out as Illustrator's dialog: on the left the Artboards and Assets tabs (thumbnails with their checkboxes, number and name, in a grid or a list), Clear Selection and Prefix; on the right Select (All, Range, Include Bleed, Full Document), Export to, Open Location after Export, Create Sub-folders by Scale or by Format (on by default), Export PDFs As (Single File writes the chosen artboards as the pages of one PDF named after the document, `pdfs: "single"`), and the format rows with the iOS and Android buttons, the format presets (☰) and Format Settings; under them, how many items are selected and how many files the export writes. File name patterns, the Layers and Selection sources and per-item folders stay available through `document.exportForScreens` (scripts and MCP). Tests: `dialogs::tests_screens` (layout, iOS/Android, Clear Selection, sub-folders, Single File) and `fileio::tests_screens::single_file_pdfs_hold_every_chosen_artboard`.
- Save for Web: Preview in Browser writes each preview's page and images to a folder of its own inside `VectorCraft Save for Web` in the system's temporary folder. A later preview, from the same app or another one running, does not overwrite an earlier one. Each preview first removes the preview folders there that are an hour old or older and, on Linux, macOS and FreeBSD, belong to the current user; it leaves other files and folders alone. The folders a preview makes there are open to their owner only on those systems. When `VectorCraft Save for Web` is a link or is not a folder, or on those systems belongs to another user or can be written by other users, the preview goes to a new folder of its own in the temporary folder, which a later preview removes once it is an hour old (`file.saveForWeb.browser`).
- Export for Screens, Save for Web (slice images, and files named after the document's title) and the Libraries panel name files with the characters Windows does not allow written as `-` and with a `-` after a Windows device name such as `CON`, on every platform (`document.exportForScreens`, `document.exportForWeb`, `library.create`).
- Variables (data merge): text, visibility and image variables bound to objects (an object may carry several), dataset rows applied in one undo step (`variable.*`, `dataset.*`) from a Variables panel and Window › Variables, with dialogs to define, bind and edit, Make Text/Visibility/Image Dynamic, Capture/Update Data Set, CSV import/export (`dataset.import` / `dataset.export`), and a row in italics when an edit leaves the art not matching it; an image dataset value is a file path and apply keeps the object's bounds; bindings let go of deleted art and locked art is left alone; every command, like the rest, is drivable over MCP and the CLI.
