The time range selector across projects, dashboards, and evaluators is now searchable and accepts free-form durations — no more hunting through a fixed preset list.

- **Search presets** — a search field at the top of the selector filters the preset list as you type
- **Free-form durations** — type `25m`, `2h`, `3d`, or phrases like `last 2 hours` to create exactly the window you want; a bare number like `25` suggests minutes, hours, and days variants
- **Inline editing** — the selector shows the active range directly in the navbar; focus it to type start and end dates, which forks the preset into a custom range (introduced in arize-phoenix 17.3.0)

# PXI Slash Commands and Dataset Evaluator Editing

June 11, 2026

**Available in arize-phoenix 17.4.0+ (PXI beta)**

The `/` menu in PXI chat now includes local commands alongside skills, and PXI can manage the evaluators attached to a dataset.

- **`/clear`** — reset the conversation into a fresh session without leaving the chat input; commands show their keyboard shortcut in the menu
- **Read evaluator definitions** — ask PXI what evaluators a dataset has and inspect their full source code or judge prompts
- **Select evaluators for a run** — PXI can change which evaluators apply to the next playground experiment
- **Edit existing evaluators** — PXI opens an existing code or LLM evaluator for editing, then proposes changes as accept/reject diffs
