Give each portal its own branding 🎨

Have a portal that you need customised in a certain way for the people using it? For example, maybe one of your partners is using a portal, and you want it to have their branding, not yours.

Well, now you can set a unique colour, logo and favicon per portal, rather than having to use your existing global Dash theme. ​

Go to Admin > Portals > Your portal name > Theming and try it for yourself!

See where your downloads are coming from, in more detail than ever!

Trying to figure out where all the downloads from your Dash are coming from?

We've just released our most in-depth account-wide reporting yet, breaking downloads down in to those coming from:

• Signed in users
• Public share links (including collections)
• Portals

What's more, is you can click into each of these download types for a full picture of the downloads on from that location:

💡 You can find more info in our dedicated Help Center article here.

We're excited to launch three new AI-powered features to make your life easier 🤩

• AI search
• Similar images
• Smart tagging (beta)

Here's a quick overview:

Here's a bit more detail on these features:

AI Search

Search how you think. Use natural language to find your assets, e.g. "yellow candles on a shelf" or "flip flops in the sand during sunset".

No manual tagging is required!

Read more about AI-enhanced search in this article.

Similar images

Found an image you like? Scroll down to see more like it! Dash groups visually similar images to help you find your best content faster.

Read more about Similar Images in this article.

Smart Tagging (in beta)

Dash learns your tagging habits and will intelligently suggest field updates on new and existing assets, boosting discoverability with less effort.

Read more about Smart Tagging in this article.

Feature availability

AI features are available on all of our usage-based plans. If you are on one of our legacy plans (Starting, Growing, Dashing) and would like to try these features out, just get in touch.

We hope you enjoy using these features, and remember your feedback is always welcome!

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

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 ✨

🚪 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.

📷 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 🛠️

• 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.

​

New features 🚀

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

Improvements ✨

• We've made it clearer that images can be downloaded in their "Original" size, not just other preset sizes. They can also now be downloaded in a different file format (e.g., a JPG can be downloaded as a PNG)

Bug fixes 🛠️

• If an asset with an embed link was deleted, the embed link in its end location was still working. The link is now deactivated if the asset is deleted.

• Folder trees were expanding incorrectly under certain conditions. > Fixed
• 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 🛠️

• 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.

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 🚀

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 💫

• 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 🛠️

• 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.

As always, if you have any feedback for us, please do get in touch via the in-app chat or raise a feature request in our Ideas Hub.

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 💫

• 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 🛠️

• 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.
