We never stop making the life of our clients easier. So this time, we are proud to introduce you to "Playground" and Template Builder for Microsoft Excel Documents.
Remember the times, when you need to generate a document every time to check if the expression you built is correct?

And this place is called "Playground".
You can use the following link to install or upgrade the application.
If you are upgrading the Maven Documents application you should add the XLSX picklist option to the 'Document Template' object:
"Playground" is a very useful tool which helps you build and evaluate expressions in one place without generating the document. You can also play with the query by adding, deleting or editing fields and inspecting how it changes the result of the expression. And yes, it will take only a few seconds of your time.
You can find the "Playground" tab right next to Query Builder in Maven Documents. The detailed description of "Playground" and the instruction on how to use it can be found under the 'Documentation' link below.

Starting with this release you can find the page with frequently asked questions in the left bottom corner of the documentation page.
The 'Variable' element can't hold the regular text in Azure Template Builder
Previously, it was possible to define variables with some regular text as the value only in a Google Doc. A user could add some text in a variable and use it across the template. Changing this value across that template is also easy, as a user only needs to change the value once in the variable. But this was not possible in DOCX files.
After the Winter '23 release users will be able to do the same trick in the DOCX files using Maven Documents Template Builder.
Special characters affect the document generation process
Before, if the opportunity's name, for example, had the special characters, listed below, in the name, the document generation process ended up in an error.
After the Winter '23 release, these special characters don't influence the generation process.
