New Advanced Text Editor on the Work Item Form in Azure DevOps
SummaryAI, from the source post

Introduced a new rich text editor for work item forms in Azure Boards, replacing the previous basic text editor. This new editor supports advanced formatting such as bold, italics, underline, bulleted lists, numbered lists, highlighting, font color, emojis, indent control, strikethrough, headers, code snippets, and clearing formatting. It also supports inserting and resizing images, creating and removing links, and persists formatting when copying and pasting content from other sources like Excel. The editor auto-grows as text is typed and does not require full-screen mode. Additionally, it introduces @mentions for teammates, #mentions for work items, and !mentions for pull requests, along with new keyboard shortcuts for various formatting and linking actions. The underlying editor is open-source (roosterjs).
