Data, retrieval, actions, identity, and operating limits
A field-by-field summary of what the reviewed first-party references actually support. Publisher update dates and BYO-UI review dates are shown separately below.
02 · Data you can retrieve
Projects, notes, transcripts, highlights, tags, insights, and research search.
03 · Actions and write paths
Create supported research content through documented tools.
04 · Authentication and permissions
Dovetail account/OAuth connection Workspace and project permissions are inherited.
05 · Monitoring, approval, and recovery

Proposed interfaces
What customers could build on top.
These are design proposals derived from documented access—not claims that Dovetail ships these experiences.
Single-platform patterns
- Evidence-backed customer insight room
- Research synthesis room
- Feedback triage console
- Evidence-backed insight brief
Multi-platform compositions
- Dovetail + CRM or product analytics: research synthesis room
- Dovetail + work and knowledge system + content or planning platform: cross-system decision workspace
Evidence and dates
First-party references, with publisher and review dates separated
“Publisher updated” is shown only when the page exposes an update date. “BYO-UI reviewed” records when this research checked the reference. A missing publisher date is reported as missing—not replaced with the review date.
