In the first three months of the year, our Engineering and Product teams have been laser-focused on three core pillars: **Total Content Governance**, **Enterprise-Grade Search**, and **Deep-Dive Analytics**. From completing our approval suite to launching AI Search on mobile, here is everything we shipped in Q1 to make your workspace more powerful. --- ### 🛡️ Complete Content Governance We’ve officially rounded out our "Request to Publish" suite, ensuring that your organization's high-traffic groups remain curated and high-quality. - **The Full Approval Suite:** Joining Posts and Shoutouts, we have now added **Event and Page Approval Flows**. - You can check out the step-by-step articles by clicking below: - **[How to Submit Event Requests](https://support.haystackteam.com/en/how-to-submit-event-requests-in-haystack-?hsLang=en)(Users)** - **[Managing Event Requests](https://support.haystackteam.com/en/managing-event-requests-as-an-admin-?hsLang=en) (Admins)** - **[How to Submit Page Requests](https://support.haystackteam.com/en/submitting-page-requests-for-approval?hsLang=en) (Users)** - **[Managing Page Requests](https://support.haystackteam.com/en/managing-page-requests-as-an-admin-?hsLang=en)(Admins)** - **What This Feature Does:** Group owners can now require that regular users submit Events and Pages for review before they go live. This ensures that every piece of permanent resource content or company-wide event meets your internal standards. --- ### 🔍 A Smarter, Faster AI Search (Web & Mobile) Search is the heartbeat of a digital workspace. This quarter, we gave it a massive upgrade.

We also added **Configurable Delivery Times** so you can reach your team when they are most likely to read. - **Link Click Tracking (Slack & Email):** For the first time, you can track clicks on links sent via Slack and Email notifications, giving you a 360-degree view of how users transition from notifications to the platform. - **[Group-Level Advanced Analytics](https://support.haystackteam.com/en/enabling-advanced-group-analytics-with-looker?hsLang=en):** Group Owners can now access their own Looker-powered dashboards. These are filtered specifically to their group, allowing them to track engagement without needing full workspace admin access. - **[Feedback Reporting](https://support.haystackteam.com/en/exporting-reports-for-feedback-tools?hsLang=en):** Admins can now export comprehensive reports from the **Content Feedback Tool**, turning 👍/👎 reactions into actionable spreadsheets. --- ### 🎨 Customization & Accessibility Your workspace should look and feel like *your* company. - **[Font Customization](https://support.haystackteam.com/en/branding-your-workspace?hsLang=en):** For clients with the Custom Style Addon, you can now choose from a library of professional fonts (like Montserrat, Inter, and Roboto) to match your corporate branding. - **New Embeds (Figma, Monday.com, & Google Calendar):** We’ve expanded our integration library!
