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

New features 📣

📊 Lots more reports!

We've added a bunch of new download reports to help you understand how your Dash is being used:

• View downloads from your users
• View downloads from public share links
• View downloads from portals

Find out about all our reports in our reporting overview article.

🎨 Portal theming

You can now apply custom themes to your portals, so you can create a more tailored visual experience for your retailers and partners who visit your portals.

Learn more about portal theming in our portals article.

🖼️ Figma and Adobe Express integration

You can now access Dash from within Figma and Adobe Express, via our LinkrUI integration.

Learn more in our LinkrUI article.

Improvements ✨

• We've added a portal search bar so you can quickly find your portals.
• To protect all Dash accounts, we've added usage limits to various activities in Dash (e.g. how many fields you can have). This is unrelated to download/storage usage billing, just a technical limit. Read the full list of technical limits in this article.
• The bin now shows freshly binned assets without requiring a refresh.
• Bulk selected assets in the edit screen are remembered when viewing the asset details and returning to the edit screen.
  ​

Bug fixes 🛠️

• Fixed an issue where black bars would sometimes appear on custom folder thumbnails.
• Fixed an issue where subfolders would disappear when editing a permission group.
• Fixed an issue where reports were including assets downloaded on different days to the reporting period (this was related to timezones).
• Expired collection shares weren't reactivating when their date was updated.
• Dropbox/Google Drive connections would stop working if their authentication token expired.
• In rare situations, users were able to upload to folders they didn't have permission to.
• Improved navigation via the in-app back button so it returns you to where you were.

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.

Click to read more about portal analytics.

📷 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 💫

• Replying to a "[name] shared assets with you" email will now go to the person that shared the assets, rather than the Dash team.
