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

New features

• Enter manual crop dimensions when downloading custom sizes
• Download assets in WEBP format
• Create, edit. move and delete folders from the Filters panel (admins only)!

Improvements

• S3 imports now give additional information on the assets being imported and success rate
• Can now search for single words (previously, assets with tags that contained that word alongside other words would also be returned)
• Ability to exclude specific tags in the filters panel (holt option/alt and click the tag)
• Can now search for 'stop words' individually (some words that are often used as part of a phrase and so were previously ignored)
• Nicer generic thumbnails for unrecognised filetypes

Bug fixes

• Date/time fields could not be added
• Using arrow keys in the crop screen would browse to the next asset
• Colons don't work in search (they do now!)
• SVGs downloaded as PNGs would sometimes corrupt

You can now enter custom vertical and horizontal crop dimensions on download. Once set, you can drag the resulting crop area onto the desired portion of your image.

Or, lock the aspect ratio and you can resize the crop area proportionally, either by dragging it or entering one dimension.

Simply click Download > Custom download > crop to access the new controls.

You can now download assets in the web-optimised WEBP format.

We have just launched our Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) feature 🎉

With MFA enabled, your users will be required to authenticate with a secondary method (one-time code generated by an authenticator app) in order to access their Dash.

The beta is available to anyone, just get in touch using the in-app chat and ask to have it enabled 🙂

Canva is an online design and publishing tool with a mission to empower everyone in the world to design anything and publish anywhere.

The Dash Canva app allows you to browse your Dash assets directly from within Canva, and import these straight into your projects.

The integration is free and available now.

You can now set the exact crop position for any image, for each preset size.

This is great for when you want to:

• Control exactly how an image will look when users download it using a preset size.
• Control where a crop will be applied when downloading an image within some of our 3rd party integrations.
• Save users time when doing bulk downloads of crop presets
