What's New?

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.

Developers can now kick-start Showpad email sharing with pre-filled data via URL, creating a smooth and productive flow for sales users. This feature allows sales reps to have a share filled out in advance, making it easy for them to make any final edits and send it out. Anything from the name, email address, subject, email body, or even Showpad assets inserted are all able to be pre-filled. This feature is supported on Showpad’s Web app and iOS app.

As Showpad continues to improve and add more personalization capabilities, it's important that users are able to store all the content they need. We have increased the personal storage limit for users' My Files. Showpad Essential customers now have 10Gb, and Plus and Ultimate customers will receive unlimited personal storage.

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.

A new menu is available on cards within Pages, making it easy to quickly take action on assets. While engaging prospects and customers with Pages, users can now select the menu from any asset card to share via email, get a link, or add to a Collection. Users can also still select multiple assets at once to share.

We've implemented some changes to the experience of duplicating Smart Folders, making it easier to do in one swoop. This allows you to easily reuse a folder's structure, content, and design, cutting down on your administrative tasks at hand.

Users can now use MeetingIQ bot to record calls conducted through MS Teams. Setting it up is as simple as adding the MeetingIQ bot to your calendar invite with a valid MS Teams meeting link. The MeetingIQ Bot will then record and transcribe the call so users can view and learn from their calls in Showpad, as well as share them. MeetingIQ is also compatible with Zoom, Webex, and GoToMeeting, and is available in English only.

Android users are now greeted with Spotlight announcements on a Home tab when using the Showpad app on their device. Similar to other Showpad platforms, up to seven Spotlight announcements give users immediate insights directly from admins for quick information on the go. In addition, we have implemented improvements to mobile navigation. Users can access Experiences through the Home tab, where they are easily accessible beneath the Spotlight announcements. The home tab also has featured assets, including newest uploaded, last viewed, and most viewed.

In a time where virtual learning and webinars are more valuable than ever, we've enhanced Showpad Coach with live training registration capabilities. Live Training enables users to register for training sessions outside of Showpad (such as webinars or classroom training) as part of a path. After the training is complete, admins can mark the user's attendance in the session to track attendance. It’s all part of keeping everything digitally organized so you don’t have to do it manually.

Shared Spaces now allow users to organize and group content strategically using folders. Categorizing assets into folders helps create a cleaner aesthetic and makes it easier for customers to find the content they are looking for. No more scrolling through endless lists looking for the relevant file for an overall better user experience. From within a Shared Space, click the Add option to create Folders, which can be nested, folders within folders, giving users the ability to create thoughtfully structured content. Users can add content directly to a Folder in Shared Spaces by opening it adding content.

New functionality will allow users to share assets from their My Files internally with other Showpad users via link or email. A new tab will be available in My Files where users will find all the content shared with them, with a similar feel to Google Drive. To avoid skewing reporting data, assets that are shared internally will not appear in reporting or sharing insights. The new 'Share with Colleague' option will be found on all types of assets in users' My Files.

To combat ever-changing sales territories and deal cycles that may outlast roles, your users can transfer ownership of Shared Spaces from one active user to another. The current Shared Space owner can leave a note for the new owner to handover any pertinent information about the space or customer. Current Shared Spaces owners can also choose if they would like to remain a member in the space when they transfer ownership or leave it entirely.

We brought our best search from the Web app to Gmail and Chrome.

We made it easy to see engagement metrics at a glance such as how many shares a piece of content has overall, average in-app viewing time, and content likes with the new user asset detail panel.

Every piece of content you select includes data at-at-glance such as description, tags, author, and comments. If you don't need all that info at once, you can hide and reveal sections. Showpad remembers your most recent setup, so when you have hidden data options, they will stay that way the next time you log in.

You can read more about this exciting new asset detail panel here.

Users can download collections so they can be used offline with the Windows Desktop app. This is particularly useful for sales reps on the go. They can feel secure knowing their collections are ready to be presented, with or without an internet connection.

The new version uploads to their My Files. When editing Google assets within My Files, users can overwrite and edit the existing version, or create another copy. Any changes users make are reflected in Showpad and Google Drive, streamlining their workflow.
