Discover the Admin App Updated February 10, 2025 23:54 After extensive testing and improvements based on your feedback, the new Admin App is now your default admin experience. When you log in to Showpad as an admin or Promoted Member, you’ll be welcomed to the Admin App. Here, you’ll find everything you need to perform your marketing and enablement tasks more efficiently. With an enhanced user interface, intuitive navigation, and new tools such as bulk editing, Shared Space Templates, Automation Rules, and global search, managing your workflows has never been simpler. Why we needed a new admin experience At Showpad, we continuously strive to improve our platform to meet our customers' evolving needs. Over the past year, we have gathered comprehensive feedback from our community of administrators. We've heard your concerns and suggestions: You need a more intuitive, efficient, and powerful tool to manage your content and settings. The Admin App is our response to your feedback. It is designed to enhance ease of use and streamline content management. With more UX consistency, similar elements look and function similarly, simplifying tasks and making interactions more intuitive. Additionally, the Admin App provides a clean hub for centralized reporting. It also improves productivity with AI-powered capabilities and new Automation Rules. Accessing the old admin experience While we’ve ensured everything you need can be found in the Admin App, we understand that it may still be necessary to switch back to the Online Platform sometimes. You can easily toggle between both admin experiences by clicking Go back to the old experience in the upper right of the Home tab and the lower left of the Libraries, Users, and Collaboration tabs. To return to the Admin App, click Switch to the new Admin Experience in the top navigation bar of the Online Platform. Note: The legacy Online Platform is being retired in August and will no longer receive updates. Improvements to existing features You'll first notice the new modern design, which is consistent with the Showpad user experience. It’s crafted for intuitive navigation and quick access to essential functionalities, such as managing content, Courses, Experiences, and templates. The new Admin App brings several enhancements to existing features aimed at making your administrative tasks more efficient and user-friendly: Uploading files: Enjoy a more intuitive flow and updated design when uploading assets to the Files Library. Add files and configure tags, languages, authors, and availability in one step. Processing now happens in the background. Bulk edit: In the Files and Pages libraries, you can bulk edit by selecting either all visible items or all items in the library with a single click. If editing 100 items or fewer, all tags will be displayed, with changes clearly highlighted for easy review. Libraries view: Collapse the left navigation panel to free up screen space. Arrange the columns to display the information you value in the order you prefer. Resize the columns in the Files library to view exactly what you need in the table. Authors column: Avatars are now displayed in the Authors column in Libraries, saving screen space. Details panel: With a unified design, similar features are consistently available across all library details panels. Each property can be edited with a single click. Additionally, the Admin App remembers your preferred section view settings, whether they are collapsed or expanded. Admin Settings redesign: Benefit from a clearer and more organized overview of the Admin Settings. Analytics and Reports: Find all the analytics and reports you need in one unified location. Improved tag management: Our updated tag management system makes it easier to manage tags efficiently. You can arrange tags in tag categories by dragging and dropping. Additionally, tag categories in the file details panel are automatically sorted by type, library, and position. New features Discover several new features that will significantly enhance your capabilities within the Admin App: Shared Space Templates: These templates allow for quicker and more consistent creation of Shared Spaces. Automation Rules: Automate your content-admin tasks so you can focus more on enabling your revenue teams. For example, when adding a new asset, you can create rules that set asset permissions based on content type. You can also create rules to automatically add users to user groups once they've completed a Course. Global search: Quickly find and access content with the powerful global search feature. The top-level search lets you look across your files, Pages, tags, Homepages, and more. It also allows you to search for and across all your Division libraries. Experience library: The new Experience list view makes it easier to manage, create, and browse Experiences. You can also update user and user group assignments directly in the details panel without opening the Experience Builder. Files library engagement insights: Clearly view the buyer and seller interest and activity on your assets, allowing you to make informed decisions about content management. Course and Path libraries: We’ve brought a unified look to the Course and Path libraries and made them quick to find in the Libraries tab.

Analytics overview: Access all question-based analytics through a clear overview page where you can mark your favorite business-critical dashboards for easy access. AI-powered features: Translations for tags and tag categories: Automatic translations to establish a consistent taxonomy across regions. This delivers a more inclusive search experience for global users and streamlines administrators' content management processes. File description suggestions: Improve the searchability of content by applying suggested descriptions to your assets. When you apply a description to an image, the image becomes much easier for your seller to find.

Help Center Improvements With the release of the Admin App, we’ve also made some improvements to the Showpad Help Center to help you easily find what you need.
