Chat UI

File attachments

This feature allows users to attach files like documents, PDFs, images, and videos directly to messages, enabling more informative and context-rich conversations.

File Manager

Template for large icons view

This feature allows users to customize the large icons view to preview the files as a miniature.

Data Grid

Persistent row pinning across grid pages

This feature helps keep specific rows fixed and visible while navigating through multiple grid pages.

Tree Grid

Auto-merge using rowspan and colspan

The feature automatically merges consecutive rows with identical data using rowspan and consolidates consecutive columns with matching data using colspan, enhancing visual representation and readability.

Rich Text Editor

AI assistant

The AI Assistant enhances content creation with real-time suggestions, grammar corrections, tone adjustments, and formatting recommendations through a toolbar. It also supports custom prompts for tailored content generation.

Markdown with auto formatting

This feature lets users get and set Markdown content in the HTML editor for seamless format conversion. It introduces auto-formatting of Markdown syntax in the editor, instantly rendering elements like headings (#), bold (*), and italics () as formatted HTML.

Enhance content copy

The feature streamlines content management by stripping unwanted styles when copying HTML, ensuring clean output while preserving text formatting like font styles, colors, and alignments for seamless copying within the editor or externally.

Enhance import/export security for Word and PDF

This feature enables passing authorization tokens during Word document imports and while exporting to PDF or Word formats. It ensures secure document access by validating user permissions during both import and export operations.

Images wrapped with text

The image wrap feature enhances image alignment capabilities in the editor by allowing images to be wrapped with text using left or right alignment options. This enables more natural and visually appealing content layouts where text flows seamlessly around the image.

Line height

The line height feature lets users adjust the vertical spacing between lines of text, giving them control over how tightly or loosely the text is packed within paragraphs, which helps improve readability and visual balance in the content layout.

Diagram

Visio import and export

This feature allows users to import Microsoft Visio (.vsdx) diagrams into the Syncfusion Diagram component for editing and exporting them back to Visio format, ensuring smooth, browser-based interoperability for technical and business diagrams.

Inputs

Adornment support

This feature provides visual adornments like icons and labels in input components, allowing customizable UI guidance within container zones. The implementation uses a flexible property framework with optional animations, maintaining full compatibility with existing ASP.NET MVC projects.
