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?

  • Resources page expiration dates and alerts. Your most important resource pages likely need to be reviewed for updates on a regular basis. To help you easily govern, maintain, and update your resource pages, we've added a brand new feature that allows you to set resource page expiration alerts where needed. Learn more about resource expiration dates and alerts.
    ​

  • Ability to mark a group as required for all users. By default, your workspace has one group that is required for all members. You're likely using this for your All Company or All Hands content. You're welcome to create additional required groups as needed using your group settings. Learn how here.
    ​

  • All new Featured Group and Featured Profile dashboard cards. Two new cards have been added to your dashboard card library, making it easy to highlight a member of your team or a group in your workspace! Learn more about all the ways to customize your dashboard.
    ​

  • New cards available for group dashboards. If you're customizing a group, you'll spot two familiar faces now available in your group dashboard card library: the Event Calendar card and the Name Game card. Both of these will reflect only the content from your group. Learn more about configuring a group dashboard.
    ​

  • Post insights for all post authors. To date, post insights have only been available for those members with admin permissions. Now, all post authors, no matter their admin roles, can see post insights on the posts they have authored! Learn more about post insights.
