July 14, 2022: Release Notes

New features, bug fixes, and product updates from the Haystack team.

Updated over 2 years ago

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, take a little fresh air walk and check back in a bit.


What's New

New group profile design and group dashboard

Your groups have received a beautiful design update that makes groups more customizable, flexible, and visual than ever before. This redesign features:

  • Brand new group dashboard that's fully configurable to best fit your group's content and audience needs

  • Redesigned group link, resource, and people pages

  • Even more space for your group description

Take a peek at the group in your workspace to see the new design, or learn more below.

Three new dashboard cards.

We are so excited to share that three new dashboard cards have been added to your dashboard library! You can now add a map-integrated location card, a static image card, and a featured events card!

Even more resource nesting depth!

Historically, our resource pages have housed three levels of nesting depth—parent, child, and grandchild pages. Lots of you have asked if we could add a fourth level of nesting to make organizing your pages easier, so we made it happen! You're now welcome to enjoy deeper page nesting—parent, child, grandchild, and great-grandchild pages.
