We generally release new features and bug fixes around 3 pm PT, but that time is likely to vary. If you're not yet seeing these updates in your account, treat yourself to a holiday hot cocoa and check back in later.

What's new?

  • Text Color and Text Highlight Color Capabilities
    We're super excited to share that you can now customize text color and highlight color in your posts, events, and resources.

    Simply highlight your text, click the color selector on the right, and choose the color you'd like to use. You'll also see the primary and secondary colors configured in your workspace settings—typically your brand colors—are on the list of selectable options.

  • Email Views in Post Analytics
    In October, we updated our email notifications to include full-text emails and user-driven notification preferences. To help admins understand how and where team members are digesting content, we've added email analytics to your post insights dashboard.

    To view these analytics, click the ellipsis button on any post and select Post Insights. Keep in mind, you must be a Workspace Admin or Posts admin to see these details.

  • Access to Support Resources in Your Account Dropdown
    As our team grows, we're excited to bring you and your team even more support, learning, and how-to resources. These are now easily accessible in everyone's account dropdown.

  • Drag-and-Drop Resource Management
    With the release of our new resources index, it's been easy to drag-and-drop resource pages within a group and parent page to reorder them. Now, you can drag-and-drop resources to reassign them to a new group and/or new parent page if you'd like.

  • Updated Groups Page Design
    You'll notice your Groups page looks a teensy bit different than it did before. A new list view, updated from the legacy grid view, makes it easier than ever to browse through the list of groups in your workspace.

  • Large Group Summary Space
    If you're a group owner, you're now welcome to add up to 800 characters to your group summary text box. Enjoy!

What's fixed?

Many-a-bug squashed this week:

  • Broken legacy links to resource pages within content areas

  • Issues with incorrect image cropping in event email notifications

  • Issues with audio introductions assigning to the incorrect user

  • Lack of error state when inviting an existing user

  • Color flash in-browser on user sign out

  • Comment edits are not displayed until after page refresh

We hope you love these new features as much as we do. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out at support@haystackteam.com.
