Shared by Katya β€’ May 14, 2025

Here's everything we released in April, including bug fixes and smaller tweaks that don't normally get promoted, for those power users out there!

Improvements ✨

πŸšͺ Portal analytics:

  • You can now set a custom date range.
  • We've added a summary table, so you can easily see your most downloaded assets.

πŸ“· Social media preset sizes:

  • We've updated some of the social media preset sizes to make them in line with the most current standards; these are the LinkedIn "Company logo size" preset and the Facebook "Profile photo" preset.
  • We've renamed the "Twitter" section to "X.com" instead.

Other improvements

  • We've made it clearer when moving an item to the bin that active embeddable links will only stop working once the asset is permanently deleted from the bin.
  • Hidden system files are no longer included when uploading to Dash in bulk or when uploading folders.
  • When creating a folder during the upload process, that folder will now be automatically assigned to the assets (this can be easily un-assigned if necessary).
  • When downloading an asset, the button to select the file format (JPG, PNG etc) is now larger. This speeds up the process, especially when working through assets quickly.
    ​

Bug fixes πŸ› οΈ

  • There was a temporary bug where customers using the new ratings field were having issues with the Canva integration. This is now fixed.
  • Some accounts were experiencing issues with page lagging if navigating to the "Groups" page in the "Admin" section. This is now fixed.
  • Expired shares were being counted in "active share links" when deleting a user. This has now been fixed and expired shares are not included.

...Thanks for reading!

Here's everything we released in January and February, including bug fixes and smaller tweaks that don't normally get promoted, for those power users out there!
​

New features πŸš€

We're currently hard at work on some longer-term projects, largely relating to AI-powered search capabilities. Stay tuned!

Improvements ✨

  • Some MP4 files weren’t downloading. > Fixed
  • If you had a field as your top thumbnail field, it wasn't possible to sort by this field in "All assets" view. > You can now sort by your top thumbnail field, as long as it's a text field.
  • The "Browse" page was breaking if folders were hidden from the filters panel. > Fixed
  • Custom crops weren't working on images over 10,000 x 10,000px. > Fixed

Here's everything we released in December 2024 including bug fixes and smaller tweaks that don't normally get promoted, for those power users out there!
​

Bug fixes πŸ› οΈ

  • We fixed a bug with embedded data mapping for controlled tags fields; sometimes the controlled tags field was not populating with all of the values contained in the embedded fields on upload. This has now been fixed.

...And that's all folks!

We spent December working on longer-term projects and new features which you'll hear more about soon.

Shared by Katya β€’ December 11, 2024

Here's everything we released in October and November 2024, including bug fixes and smaller tweaks that don't normally get promoted, for those power users out there!
​

New features πŸš€

Our new browsing experience lets you navigate your content in a more visual way. Read here to learn more, including extra features such as suggested filters and browsing by field!
​

Improvements πŸ’«

  • You can now see which users are in a permission group.
  • When downloading from an embed link, the asset filename will now reflect the latest filename of that asset, not just the original as before.
  • We've improved the process when creating guest upload links, to more clearly distinguish between the guest upload link name and welcome message.
  • The experience when navigating the admin area should now be smoother; we've made it easier to exit the view after making changes.
  • Replying to a "[name] shared assets with you" email will now go to the person that shared the assets, rather than the Dash team.
    ​

Bug fixes πŸ› οΈ

  • Users running the TikTok Pixel Helper Google extension were experiencing issues loading Dash. This has now been fixed and the extension is now compatible with Dash.
  • A "create sub-folder" button was appearing a) in portals and b) for users who didn't have the required permissions to create folders. This is fixed.
  • Users with capital letters in their emails were not able to log in to the Canva integration. This is now fixed.
  • We've fixed a bug specific to Firefox that was causing the navigation bar in PDFs to appear in the wrong place.
  • Trimming videos was leading to a reduction in quality; this is fixed.
  • Images with a transparent background were losing their transparency if downloaded using a preset size. This is fixed.

Release notes

August & September '24 release notes 🌀️ 🍁

Katya avatar
Shared by Katya β€’ December 02, 2024

Lots of updates this time as we've combined two months into one! Here's everything we released in August & September 2024, including bug fixes and smaller tweaks that don't normally get promoted, for those power users out there!

Improvements πŸ’«

  • Users can now be alerted 30 days before an asset expires, rather than the previous maximum of 14 days.
  • You can now generate embeddable HTML code for videos; previously this was only available for images.
  • When sharing PDF files as "View only", it was possible to still download the asset by clicking "Print". We've now disabled this option, to make them truly View-only.
  • When someone has shared a selection of assets, users can now select from a variety of download options (custom sizes, file type etc) for all shares at once, rather than needing to go into each asset individually.
  • Newer assets in the upload area now appear first, rather than last.
  • You can now discard multiple files at once (rather than "all" or one at a time) in the upload area.

Bug fixes πŸ› οΈ

  • Discarding a file in the upload screen was not updating the "selected" count, resulting in odd behaviour such as seeing "2 out of 1" selected in the upload screen. This should now show the correct count.
  • The date format in Dash was always showing the US format (MM-DD-YYYY). This should now correspond with your browser language, as originally intended.
  • Sometimes, clicking "Done" too soon on large file uploads would result in the new assets not being uploaded. This is now fixed.
  • Some errors were showing occasionally when clicking into larger images when uploading, this has been fixed.
  • The text stating how many days ago an asset was added was corresponding to the users' browser language, even when browsing Dash in English. This has now been set so that this corresponds to the language Dash is displaying in.

July '24 release notes β˜€οΈ πŸ„β€β™€οΈ

Katya avatar
Shared by Katya β€’ August 12, 2024

Here's everything we released in July 2024, including bug fixes and smaller tweaks that don't normally get promoted, for those power users out there!

Improvements

  • We've done significant work on making large asset uploads more stable. If this is something you've run into issues with in the past, feel free to try it out again!
  • We've been busy working hard on improving the overall browsing experience (release date TBD but it's coming soon!), so that's it for our July improvements!

Bug fixes

  • In Admin > Account > Manage your subscription, the "Primary billing contact" was listed incorrectly for some accounts. This was an issue because it's the email needed to log in to the billing portal. This has now been fixed and you'll be able to reliably use the email listed here to access the billing portal.
  • When editing multiple assets, asset counts would sometimes be off when selecting and de-selecting assets to edit (e.g. "11 of 7 assets selected"). This has now been fixed.

New feature

Integrate Dash with WooCommerce

Charlie avatar
Shared by Charlie β€’ July 18, 2024

Our Dash WordPress plugin now supports adding Dash images directly into WooCommerce without having to leave WordPress.

With the plugin, you can:

  • Choose a Dash image for your product's featured product image
  • Add Dash images into a product's product gallery
Improvement

Import Dash assets directly into your WordPress media library

Charlie avatar
Shared by Charlie β€’ July 10, 2024

Now you can import your Dash assets directly into your WordPress media library. (Previously, you could only import assets directly into pages you were editing.)

This will help you if:

  • You are preparing your media library assets in advance of editing a page
  • You use a custom editor that doesn't support the Dash WordPress plugin

The WordPress integration is available to all users at no extra charge. We hope you enjoy this update πŸ™‚
