Why we need a new admin experience

Beta Admin App access

Help shape the future of the Admin App

Your feedback during this beta phase is invaluable. It helps us identify areas for improvement and ensure the new Admin App meets your needs before its official launch. We encourage you to share your thoughts and experiences, enabling us to refine and enhance the Admin App for everyone.

Improvements to existing features

You'll first notice the new modern design, which is consistent with the user experience. It’s crafted for intuitive navigation and quick access to essential functionalities, such as managing content, Courses, and Paths.

• Uploading Assets: Enjoy a more intuitive flow and updated design when uploading assets to the Files Library.
• Bulk Upload and Edit: Bulk uploads let you manage each file's properties and use bulk actions without waiting. Processing now happens in the background.
• Admin Settings Redesign: Benefit from a clearer and more organized overview of the Admin Settings.
• Improved Tag Management: Manage tags more efficiently with our updated tag management system.

Main new feature updates

Discover several new features that will significantly enhance your capabilities within the Admin App:

• Shared Spaces Templates: Available on the Content Plus package, 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 search bar allows you to look across your assets, Pages, tags, and more. It also allows you to search across all your Libraries.
• Experience library: Manage, create, and browse Experiences more efficiently with the new Experience list view. Update user and user group assignments directly in the details panel without opening the Experience Builder.
• Files library engagement insights: Sort your assets by buyer and seller interest and activity. 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: Access all question-based analytics through a clear overview page where you can mark your favorite business-critical dashboards for easy access. The reports you rely on are also available on the Analytics tab in the Admin App.
• 
• AI-powered features:
  • Leverage AI for Page creation: Save time and increase your business agility by allowing our AI assistant to design compelling Showpad Pages based on your guidelines.
  • Translations for tags and tag categories, file descriptions, and video captions: Automatic translations to establish a consistent taxonomy across regions. This enhances users' browsing and search experience and streamlines administrators' content management processes.
  • Filename suggestions: Let our AI help you identify files with non-meaningful names. Then, instantly improve the filenames to match your conventions. This will help sellers and buyers find and understand the content they need.
  • 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.
  • File keywords: Allow Showpad’s AI to add keywords to your files.

    Note: The availability of the AI-powered features depends on your packaging. Please contact your Account Manager if you have questions.

What’s next

• LibraryIQ: Soon, you’ll be able to manage asset duplicates, languages, and localized variants with the assistance of LibraryIQ, which surfaces assets that need attention in your Admin App files library.
• Search: We’re working behind the scenes to improve search results in every library in the Admin App. This will improve the search experience and result in more accurate search results.
• Tags: We’re prioritizing enhancements and feature parity to the Tags library. You'll be able to manage tags and tag categories more seamlessly, including adding tags with a comma-delimited list.
• Rolling dates in Automation Rules: You’ll be able to set content to automatically expire or be released based on relative time frames. For example, schedule a file to expire six months after publication, ensuring your content stays current without the hassle of manual updates.
• Details panel: The features you're used to in the details panel will be available soon, with improvements aimed at reducing clicks and allowing you to complete actions more quickly. The Admin App's user interface also ensures you can find similar features consistently in each library's details panel.
  • Better performance:
    • Faster loading times for assets in the details panel.
    • Quicker loading for author selections in the details panel.
    • Smoother, faster navigation between library sections.
  • Additional improvements:
    • An enhanced bulk editing experience will allow you to view properties or tags already assigned to the selected assets.
    • Possibility to unlink external assets (also in bulk).

We’re focusing on these important improvements so that early next year, the Admin App can transition to its full production version, wrapping up the Beta phase. New features introduced with the Admin App will also be fully available, such as time-saving Shared Space Templates. You can look forward to a polished experience, free from experimental bugs and performance issues, allowing you to confidently rely on it for your daily tasks.
