[2025, August](https://support.haystackteam.com/en/product-updates?hsLang=en#2025-august) # August 1, 2025 Product Release Update ## Sprint #25.3.2 This release is one of our most successful yet, introducing **two major, highly-anticipated features** that dramatically improve content engagement and recognition management! Our focus was on providing deep insights and new workflow controls. Here are the key improvements you'll notice: ### Major Features & Workflow - **Introducing the Shoutout Approval Flow:** This significant new feature provides administrators with control and oversight over user-generated recognition. A new option in Workspace Settings allows you to enable a flow where: - Users can **request to publish** a shoutout from the web or mobile app. - **Recognition Admins** receive in-app and email notifications of pending shoutouts. - Admins can then **approve or deny** the request via the web platform. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/haystack-production/haystack/uploads/57152cdb-b60e-488c-ae23-2bcb5fc86778.png) ### Usability & Administrative Tools - **Customizable Button Color:** We have added the capability to customize the **button colors** in addition to the existing brand colors, giving content creators even greater design flexibility (this feature is being rolled out in phases). - **Merge/HRIS Enhancements:** We released key improvements to user deactivation, including better error reporting for both HRIS integrations and CSV uploads. Critically, we can now support organizations where de-provisioned users are assigned the same email address, a technical challenge that now has a robust solution. - **SCIM Provisioning Fixes:** We addressed numerous SCIM-related bugs across multiple identity management systems, including fixes for group member syncing, manager field updates, and ensuring accurate user locations. - **Mobile Updates:** The mobile app now features an **awesome new calendar page** and enhanced search functionality by introducing **individual search controls on every page** rather than relying solely on a single universal search. --- **Keywords:** Shoutout Approval, Recognition, Click Tracking, Analytics, SCIM, HRIS, Mobile Update, Customization, Bug Fixes, Link Clicks. -
