Feedback on assets and new activity dashboard
Feb 9, 2021
Communication is crucial now more than ever. Users can share feedback directly with authors of marketing content privately, a handy tool that allows for encouragement, constructive comments, and questions directly. Authors will receive an email notification from Showpad whenever feedback is received and will have the option to dismiss or employ the feedback, closing the loop by typing a message back to the reporter.
After logging in on the Online Platform, admins will also enjoy a new option on their dashboard to view recent activity, including comments on their assets, expired content, likes, new content, and more.

Support for Salesforce Communities
Feb 9, 2021
Customers utilizing Salesforce Communities now have access to the same benefits of Showpad’s existing Salesforce integration. Showpad now supports the features you know for regular Salesforce for your Salesforce communities as well, such as the Web tab, Activity logging, recommendations, and SSO. This is a handy way to allow Partners, for example, to use the Salesforce integration functionality Showpad offers while not giving them access to more than they need in your Salesforce account. You can configure your Salesforce Communities instance as a separate Salesforce instance in Showpad.

MeetingIQ synced with your MS Outlook Calendar
Feb 9, 2021
To save time and stay on track with what's upcoming, users can sync their Outlook Calendars to MeetingIQ. This allows users to skip the step of manually inviting the MeetingIQ Bot to all their meetings. With this integration, the MeetingIQ Bot will be automatically added to any upcoming meetings users have scheduled with external participants and a valid meeting link. Showpad administrators will enable this integration for your entire organization in the Online Platform. This is also currently supported for Google Calendar.

Feb 9, 2021
By default, users see a standard Home screen that features content and announcements after logging into Showpad. As an admin, you can now create customized Homepages, composed of specific content, Experiences, and more, handpicked by you. Homepages can be assigned to user groups, so you can personalize Homepage content to specific sets of users. Utilizing customized Homepages ensures you have full control over what users see when logging in to the Web app or Windows Desktop app. Spotlight announcements and recommendations will not be supported on customized Homepages. When users are not assigned a custom Homepage, they will default to the standard Home screen.

Improved sorting in Smart Folders and smart asset blocks
Feb 9, 2021
New improvements to asset sorting in Smart Folders and smart asset blocks make for a more natural order for users to view content, making it much easier to scan a list of files sorted alphabetically. Sorting will be case-insensitive, digits will appear after characters and symbols, and digits will be grouped together and then sorted numerically.

Updating the Windows Desktop App
Feb 9, 2021
We've simplified the process of making sure your Windows Desktop app is up to date. There is no longer the need for a dual restart to activate the new updates. Any time a new version of the Web app is deployed, it will be downloaded but not yet activated. When users restart their Windows Desktop App, the new version of the Web app will be activated automatically.
