-## [Unreleased]
+## [0.9.21] — 2026-05-28
+
+### Added
+- Added **Recent…** to the Scratchpad so scratchpads saved under previous file/draft identities can be loaded, appended, or copied after reopening Studio or continuing a Pi session.
+- Preview export now distinguishes **Export PDF and Open in Studio preview tab** from **Export PDF and Open in default PDF viewer**; the Studio path opens a Files-view-style editor-only preview tab with a `studio-pdf` block.
+- HTML export now distinguishes **Export HTML and Open in Studio editor** from **Export HTML and Open in browser**; the Studio path opens the exported HTML in an editor-only Studio tab for inspection, editing, previewing, and comment mode.
+
+## [0.9.20] — 2026-05-27
+
+### Added
+- Added an opt-in HTML preview comment mode for editor HTML previews: use **Comment mode** to select text or click elements inside the sandboxed preview, or **Page** for a page-level comment; comments are stored in the existing local Comments rail and can be loaded into a prompt.
+- Added **Refresh** controls to Studio PDF previews and the PDF focus viewer so file-backed PDFs can be reloaded from disk without rerendering the whole Studio pane.
+- Editor-only Studio views now expose the right-pane **Files** and **REPL** views; REPL mode keeps Pi run/critique disabled but allows **Send to REPL** from the editor, including the `Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Enter` shortcut.

 ## What it does
 
 - Opens a two-pane browser workspace: **Editor** (left) + **Response/Working/Editor Preview** (right)
-- Supports one canonical full Studio view per Pi session, plus additional editor-only companion views when you just want extra editing/preview surfaces; the editor toolbar can open a detached copy of the current editor text as a companion view
+- Supports one canonical full Studio view per Pi session, plus additional editor-only companion views when you want extra editing/preview surfaces; editor-only views can also browse files and use the Studio REPL send controls without taking over the full Studio session view
 - Includes a global **Zen** mode for hiding secondary Studio chrome without changing the current left/right pane layout
 - Runs editor text directly, asks for structured critique (auto/writing/code focus), offers a manual **Suggest completion** action for short cursor-aware continuations (`Option/Alt+Tab` where available or `Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Space` from the editor, `Tab` to insert a visible suggestion) with an optional editor-plus-latest-response context mode, or opens **Quiz me** for a Studio-native active-recall loop over the current editor text, selection, current file, folder, or repo, with optional focus guidance for shaping question selection
 - Includes a live **Working** view for following current model/tool activity, with `All` / `Thinking` / `Tools` filters, image previews for image-producing tool outputs, plus **Load visible into editor** and **Copy visible** actions; when cycling response history, Working follows saved working details for the selected response when available
 - Includes a right-pane **Files** view for browsing the current Pi session/resource directory, opening folders, loading text/code/CSV/TSV documents into the editor, previewing PDFs/images, opening PDF/image previews in a new Studio tab, converting DOCX/ODT documents to editable Markdown when Pandoc is available after confirmation, copying paths, setting the current folder as the Studio working directory, and revealing files in the file manager
 - Includes an optional tmux-backed **REPL** view for Shell, Python, IPython, Julia, R, GHCi, and Clojure sessions, with Raw/Literate send modes, `Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Enter` **Send to REPL**, session start/stop/interrupt controls, a compact refresh-persistent **Studio REPL Record** of user and Pi-sent code, a secondary raw tmux mirror, agent-facing `studio_repl_status` / `studio_repl_send` tools, and Markdown/PDF/HTML export
-- Includes a local persistent scratchpad for quick notes you want to keep out of the main editor until you're ready to copy or insert them
+- Includes a local persistent scratchpad for quick notes you want to keep out of the main editor until you're ready to copy or insert them, with a **Recent…** picker for recovering scratchpads saved under earlier file/draft identities
 - Includes a docked **Outline** rail for navigating document structure in the current editor text, with clickable entries that jump in the raw editor and reveal matching preview locations when available
 - Restores the current browser-tab editor workspace after refresh and provides an explicit **Reset editor** action when you want to discard the restored draft and return the tab to a fresh blank draft without changing responses or saved files
 - Turns local preview links, including links inside sandboxed HTML previews, into Studio actions: PDFs open in the embedded viewer, images open in a zoomable focus viewer, PDF/image links can open in a new Studio preview tab, text/code/CSV/TSV document links can open in a new editor tab, DOCX/ODT links can be converted to editable Markdown, and right-click menus provide **Open here**, **Reveal in file manager**, and **Copy path** for local resources
-- Includes local comments anchored to selections/lines, shown in a docked **Comments** rail, with transient **Comment** / **Jump** actions from raw-editor selections plus editor-preview selections for Markdown, LaTeX, and code/text/diff previews, alongside optional inline `[an: ...]` toggles when you want comments reflected in the document text
+- Includes local comments anchored to selections/lines, shown in a docked **Comments** rail, with transient **Comment** / **Jump** actions from raw-editor selections plus editor-preview selections for Markdown, LaTeX, code/text/diff previews, and an opt-in comment mode for editor HTML previews; source-anchored comments can be toggled into inline `[an: ...]` annotations when you want comments reflected in the document text
 - Browses response history (`Prev/Next/Last`) and loads either:
   - response text
   - critique notes/full critique

 - Renders straight, unfenced interactive HTML in preview via a sandboxed browser iframe with zoom controls, while fenced `html` blocks remain source code
 - Embeds local PDFs in Studio Markdown previews via explicit `studio-pdf` fenced blocks, with a Focus action for temporarily enlarging the embedded viewer
 - Ships optional `pi-studio-dark` and `pi-studio-light` themes tuned for Studio's browser workspace
-- Exports right-pane preview as PDF (pandoc + LaTeX) or standalone HTML into the source file directory, Studio working directory, or Pi session directory, preserving authored HTML previews as HTML and rendering CSV/TSV editor previews as tables
+- Exports right-pane preview as PDF (pandoc + LaTeX) or standalone HTML into the source file directory, Studio working directory, or Pi session directory; PDF export can open in a Studio preview tab or the default PDF viewer, and HTML export can open in the default browser or in a new Studio editor tab for inspection/commenting, while preserving authored HTML previews as HTML and rendering CSV/TSV editor previews as tables
 - Exports local files headlessly via `/studio-pdf <path>` to `<name>.studio.pdf` or `/studio-html <path>` to `<name>.studio.html`; without a path, those commands export the last model response to a timestamped file
 - Shows model/session/context usage in the footer, plus a compact-context action
