By popular demand, we've added a new page to Dash called Browse, which lets you navigate your Dash visually, folder by folder.

• Browse through your folders visually
• Create cover images for subfolders to make browsing more intuitive
• Browse by your custom fields as well
• Use suggested filters to further narrow down the results

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.

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.

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

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 🙂

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

Improvements

• Forgotten your subdomain? Now you don't need to remember it! You can now use our new login page to jump straight into your account. If your email address is used in multiple Dash accounts, we'll even show you a list to pick from.
• New fields now sort alphabetically by default.
• You can now add line breaks to your portal welcome message.
• We've improved the visibility of long folder paths.
• Improved the performance when uploading more than 500 assets.

Bug fixes

• We've improved upload speeds. Sometimes uploads would 'hang' with a "preparing your assets" message - that should now be a thing of the past!
• Checklists and drop-down filter values were not showing the 🚫 symbol when negated.
• Folders weren't showing if a user had contributor access to only a single parent folder.

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

New features

• Smart filters! Filters that contain no results will now be moved to a hidden section at the bottom of the filters panel, so you only see filters that will actually do something 🙂

Improvements

• We've extended the inactive session logout duration from 24 hours to 7 days. So long as you log in to Dash at least once in a 7 day period, you'll stay logged in.
• We've added a mandatory session expiry at 90 days. All users will be required to re-login again after this time, regardless of last login.
• Added a tooltip showing the specific time a past version was uploaded (thanks Julie for the suggestion!)
• Added an 'is empty' filter to tags
• The "Browse" page has been renamed "All assets", in advance of some exciting new folder-browsing features coming soon...
• Added more details to the new version email notification

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

Improvements

• Sort your folder and field lists alphabetically
• Invert your selection in the upload screen

Bug fixes

• Resized PNGs were poor quality
• User activity reports crashing occasionally
• Forward slashes in folder names caused other issues
• Sometimes thumbnail previews weren't loading in the upload screen
• Drag and drop uploading sometimes uploaded the asset twice

We've added some filtering improvements to make finding the perfect asset that bit easier!

🔍 Choose to switch your filters between and / or

When selecting multiple items in a filter, you might want to search for assets that include all of those options, or any. Now you can!

🔍 Sort your folders and fields alphabetically

Now you can choose to sort your list of folders alphabetically. This also works within any field that contains a list of data (e.g. dropdown lists).

🔍 Find assets without fields populated

You can choose the "is empty" option now within a filter to find any assets that don't haven't had any field options selected.

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

New features

• Activate the API - You can now enable the API, configure callback URLs and obtain your credentials within Dash, without having to contact us. Learn more.
• You can now choose to filter by any or all selected tags, checklist items or controlled tags. Learn more.

Improvements

Some improvements to the new account page:

• Your billing contact is now shown, so you know who can access your billing portal.
• Added embeddable links to the download stats.
• Removed tax from the displayed monthly price.

Also:

• Improved the empty state when no folders exist.

Bug fixes

• Asset preview and version number didn't immediately update after uploading a new version.
