What's Coming?

With the upcoming release, users will be able to add their own URL assets to My Files. As a sales rep, this can be helpful to share relevant information with your prospects that is not housed in Showpad, like a company blog post. This can be done seamlessly in your typical workflow, by simply selecting URL instead of File when adding content and pasting the URL address. Gain insights about view activity on URL assets in the Shares tab. 

Improvements to Showpad Pages are coming soon. To make the process of developing Pages for your users easier and more flexible, we are releasing some updates that will improve the Pages experience. These upgrades will include the ability to edit a Page from within Advanced Experience and more intuitive editing flows among other things. You will also have 20 additional fonts available to use and more variation in font size options. 

As compliance with privacy laws is one of the foundations of Showpad, we are updating the Showpad platform privacy notice following a recent ruling from the European Court of Justice. In addition to requesting permission to analyze the interaction of the recipient with the content shared and to use a cookie in that process, the privacy notice now also makes it clear that the cookie is valid for 14 days and after that time period, consent will be requested again. The new privacy notice will also better detail what activities the cookie tracks and why, and informs the recipient of the possibility of opting out to view the content anonymously.

We also draw your attention to the fact that through the privacy setting, you can easily revoke all consent so that your recipients need to first consent to the new privacy notice before their next interaction with any shared contact. You can read our full privacy policy here.

Get learners up and running quickly with Showpad Coach by assigning individual users to Paths. The power is in the hands of the admin to add both groups and users individually to lists of courses and tests to complete within a Path. No stress if an employee was added to a group late or needs their own due date--this can all be managed with the click of a button. There will also be a definitive list of users and groups assigned, with priority levels that can be changed as needed from large groups to single learners.

Sharing great content and finalized presentations just got easier as you will soon be able to download PowerPoint presentations and other documents as PDFs. This means there will be no risk of deleted or changed slides once the presentation or document is shared. Users can choose to share presentations as a viewable or downloadable PDF instead of the original PowerPoint format. Admins can control whether content is available for download internally or externally, and whether the item will be downloaded in the original format or restricted to PDF only. These expanded options will give sellers plenty of options to best tailor how they share content with their recipients.

Trade shows can be amazing hubs for demonstrations, innovations, and new connections. That’s why we are adding the capabilities to search and share within Experiences for devices in Kiosk mode. When prospects have questions, you’ll be able to quickly find and share the information you want to highlight and continue to sell better, faster, and create a great experience for the customer.
