Today we're excited to announce the launch of a number of the most popular customer requests we've seen over the last few months!
It's now possible to upload your own widget icon that appears within the widget launched and replaces the default bell icon. Supported image formats include .JPG, .JPEG, .PNG and .SVG. Widget icons can be customise per project and can be configured from your Widget settings page.
It's already possible to set a default app color, which applies a default color to all internal and public views. We're excited to announce that in addition to this, you can now set custom colors per widget, per project. This means if you have 5 different projects, each with a widget enabled, you can now control the style of each individual widget.
Where no widget color is selected, the widget will fallback to use the default app color.
Widget colors that are not customisable:
These new colors can be configured from your Widget settings page.
We've introduced a small feature that allows you to preview your widget based it's current settings allowing you to see how it would appear, without having to embed your code in order to preview. Widget preview options can be found from the Widget settings page as well as the main Updates page.
It's now also possible to allow public visitors to subscribe to your updates, either directly from your embedded widget, or from your updates public page.
When publishing a new post, you now have a new option to email subscribers and if enabled, each subscriber will receive an email notification about your post.
To compliment this feature, each Update has a new tab named 'Email history' which displays a record of emails sent for a given Update post.
Why not subscribe to our Updates feed to be kept in the loop!
Features can now be published to Jira when publishing or re-syncing its parent Roadmap card.
Where the Roadmap Card has been published as an Epic, if the option to also create Features is enabled, each Feature will be created as a User Story within Jira, linked to the parent Epic.
When selecting to publish a Roadmap Card as an Epic, you'll now get the following option to Publish its features as stories:
Likewise, when re-syncing, you have another new option that controls whether features should be re-synced.
Re-syncing features will:
Last week we launched copying, moving and duplicating Ideas; this week we've rolled out the same functionality but for Roadmap cards 🤝
Copying a roadmap card to a different project will create a replica card in the project you have selected. When copying a card, you have the following options:
By default, everything else, such as title, descriptions, status etc, will copy over to the new project.
Moving Roadmap cards between projects is now as easy as moving Ideas between projects. Each roadmap card has a new "Move to..." option from where you can select the project to move it to 🎉
It's also now possible to duplicate cards within the same project. By selecting this option, you'll create a replica of the card, similar to when copying a card, but it will remain in the same project you're in. When duplicating a card, you will have the following options:
Today we've rolled out some performance improvements to our widget, making the widget quicker to load and more responsive.
It's now possible to copy, move and duplicate ideas within Productstash 🔀 You can find these new options from the more details option on each Idea page:
Copying an idea to a different project will create a replica idea in the project you have selected. When copying an idea, you will have the following options:
By default, everything else, such as title, descriptions, status etc, will copy over to the new project.
Sometimes you've created an Idea in the wrong project, d'oh! Up until now, that's meant you've had to perform the annoying task of deleting and re-creating in the correct project. Well now you're able to easily move Ideas to different projects, in a similar manner to copying them 🎉
It's also now possible to duplicate ideas within the same project. By selecting this option, you'll create a replica of the idea, similar to when copying an idea, but it will remain in the same project you're in. When duplicating an idea, you will have the following options:
Customers can now follow Roadmap Cards in the same way that they can already follow public ideas.
Followers will be notified when public comments are added to the roadmap item.
And with a new year, we bring you the first of our new features we have planned this year!
Today we've launched a highly requested feature allowing you to push Ideas directly to your Roadmaps.
Previously, the only way to move Ideas to the roadmap was to link Ideas to specific Roadmap cards. Whilst this is still possible, it's now possible to push specific Ideas and convert these into their own Roadmap cards.
Each Idea now has "Push to Roadmap" button which launches the following sidebar:
From here you have various options including:
Keep an eye out this week for the following new features:
Today we've rolled out an enhancement to our Update feed page which sees it redesigned with a few more features!
As part of the new design, we've added the following new features:
We've added a number of new options to the Updates widget configuration, allowing you to control:
It's now possible to control the visibility of an entire roadmap column and hide it from your public view. Private columns will appear highlighted when viewing from the logged in state.
Column statuses can be edited from a roadmap's settings modal.
Each roadmap board now supports up to 6 columns and each column can easily be re-ordered a new drag and drop interface!
By default, all public roadmaps display three tabs for Roadmap, Ideas & Updates; with the Roadmap tab appearing first. In addition to turning these off / on, you can now set the order of these tabs to reflect your workflow.
We're excited to launch our new custom fonts feature, allowing Pro customers the option to customise the entire app (including all public views) with a custom font. This feature currently supports the top 100 most popular Google fonts. Head over to your App config settings to set your own font!
All URLs across the app (internal & public) have been updated as we aim to make them shorter and easier to share and read.
Public roadmaps now follow the format of app.productstash.io/<project-title>
For example, our roadmap can now be found at https://app.productstash.io/productstash
If you have a custom domain configured, the structure will follow yourdomain.com/<project-name>
Similarly public Update feeds now follow the format app.productstash.io/updates, and again, as an example ours can be found at https://app.productstash.io/productstash/updates
We've also rolled out our new WYSIWYG editor to Comments and Features, allowing you to add formatting, links, images and more.
