Jan 9, 2020
The newest version of the Windows App has arrived. The Windows Desktop App offers much of the same look and feel of Showpad's current Web app but delivered on your Windows device for anyone on Windows 10 - April 2018 version. Now users can leverage the clean and organized Home Screen where they can quickly search through content (on and offline!) as well as see their assigned courses and paths. Enabling sales reps has never been easier with the on-the-go training and the ability to create Shared Spaces to facilitate a more immersive buying experience for customers.

Shared Spaces Reporting Improvements

New data is now available via the User Analytics Reports. Additional columns permit you to see the number of active Shared Spaces a user has created, the names of each space, and the number of active Shared Spaces your users have access to. Use this data to leverage new strategies for easy content sharing, and to better understand how your users interact with prospects and customers via Shared Spaces.

Showpad Pages Improvements
Jan 9, 2020
Improvements to Showpad Pages have arrived. To make the process of developing Pages for your users easier and more flexible, we released some updates that will improve the Pages experience. These upgrades include the ability to edit a Page from within Advanced Experience. You will also have 20 additional fonts available to use and more variation in font size options - all the way from 8 to 96! We introduced an improved layout that allows you to edit style by section and quickly exit a Page using the close button. We also added URL assets to clickable images and will support browser spell-check and the right-click function and an upgraded experience when copying and pasting from MS Word.

Duplicate and delete Shared Spaces
Jan 9, 2020
New functionality is making it easier to manage your Shared Spaces. You can now duplicate Shared Spaces, giving you the opportunity to create a template of an ideal Shared Space that can be used as the starting point for all your future Shared Spaces. Copy and reuse the Shared Space for different customers and use cases. All the assets added in the Shared Space you duplicated will copy over to the new space, and you can easily update the title and logo for the space so it’s relevant for each customer. Participants and comments on assets will not be duplicated. We've also made it easy to archive or permanently delete Shared Spaces you are no longer using to help you stay organized and avoid the clutter.

Add and share URL assets with My Files
Jan 9, 2020
Users can now create their own URL assets within My Files to present and share with buyers. These have the same abilities as marketing URL assets, and can be shared and tracked. 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 or pricing listed on a website. This can be done seamlessly in your typical workflow, by 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.

Share presentations and other documents as PDFs
Jan 9, 2020
You are now able to download PowerPoint presentations and other documents as PDFs. Admins can choose to share presentations as a viewable or downloadable PDF instead of the original PowerPoint format.

These expanded options provide sellers plenty of options to best tailor content sharing.

Preparing to sunset Showpad contacts management
Jan 9, 2020
In the quest to find a single source of truth and to keep things simple, we will be sunsetting the contacts management feature, also known as the Contacts tab on June 9th, 2020. Contacts that have been entered previously will still appear in your instance's memory as auto-filled entries when sharing content. We also have outlined several options for alternative contact management on our Help Center.

Updates to our privacy policy
Jan 9, 2020
As compliance with privacy laws is one of the foundations of Showpad, we have updated 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 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 details what activities the cookie tracks and why, and informs the recipient of the possibility of opting out to view the content anonymously.
