Bugfixes

• Fixed a cache invalidation issue preventing expired and scheduled publications to refresh on time.

• Fixed a CORS issue happening due to a cache invalidation problem when loading Noticeable widgets after somebody manually opens internal data URLs in a browser.

• Fixed private Newspages not working as it should when used with the Noticeable embed widget.

• Noticeable widget popup content scrollbar is now having a modern style on Chrome.

We’ve introduced new options to change the visibility of your project’s Newspages. You can now restrict access to Newspages by requesting a password, thus making them private.

Private Newspages is a great way to keep content internal to your team or share project updates with a restricted audience.

How to change a Newspage visibility?

1. Open the Noticeable dashboard.

2. Click to Newspage on the left menu.

3. Select the Visibility settings group at the bottom of the page.

4. Configure the options as needed:

The feature is available with the Business plan. As part of the Enterprise plan, we also support filtering accesses by IP addresses and CIDR ranges. You can also require authentication via a header token.

Newspages

• Fixed an issue preventing Newspages to display properly when a project label used in a publication was deleted.

• Author profile images using Gravatar are now served over HTTPS.

Widgets

• Added support for custom icon images with widget triggers of type Floating Icon and Icon:

• Fixed a display issue happening on Widgets when no label description was set.

Zapier

What’s better than Markdown to format publications? a rich text editor!

The Noticeable dashboard is now including a rich text editor. Formatting and customizing the appearance of your publications is now simpler than ever.

You can include images, videos, format titles using different levels, put text in bold, italic, underline or even strike. Quotes are also supported along with lists, code snippets, tables, and dividers.

To apply formatting or actions, you can use the visual toolbar, shortcuts (e.g. CTRL+B to set your current selection in bold), or the Markdown syntax! Indeed, for backward compatibility but also because some of you love Markdown, we still support the syntax as you type.

There is another tip we would like to share. When writing your publication, the content is saved as soon as the editor loses focus or you click on Continue. However, it is also possible to trigger a save by pressing CTRL+S.

What about content published through the GraphQL API or Zapier? in this context, you don’t have a rich text editor. As a consequence, you can either use plaintext or the Markdown syntax.

PS: some of you asked, the editor is built on top of ProseMirror, a great open-source toolkit for building rich text editors (we contributed ESM support).

We are happy to introduce a new feature for the Noticeable widget: cross-device synchronization.

By using cross-device synchronization, users identified using our SDK will have Widget read states maintained between devices: when they switch for instance from their mobile to a laptop. This new feature is available as part of the Business plan. You can read more about how to enable the feature in our help center:

https://help.noticeable.io/en-us/article/widget-cross-device-synchronization-1m7jpkm/

PS: as you may know, we are working on a lot of new things, surprises and good news are coming!

Recently, some of you may have noticed a temporary slowdown with the API and the Timeline pages. The problem was coming from one of our database providers. We apologize for the inconvenience. The issue is now resolved.

Noticeable status information is available on the next page:
https://status.noticeable.io

You can now display segmented posts on your project Timelines.

Segmentation is a powerful mechanism to display posts to a given set of users based on your own conditions. Although segmentation is configurable with our Plug & Play Widget, by default Noticeable Timelines are not displaying segmented posts.

We are listening to you and starting Today, you can force a segmented posts (i.e. posts that define segments) to display on your project Timeline by adding the special segment Noticeable:Timeline to its list of segments.

Learn more in our help center.

Adding images is crucial to make your product updates more appealing. By default, published images are automatically sized for the container that displays your product update (e.g. Widget or Timeline).

Although automatic shrinking is a visual requirement, this may be an issue when you want to draw special attention to details on an image. For this reason, we’ve made published images automatically zoomable when their natural size is larger than their container.

Roles define what actions collaborators are allowed to perform. Today, we’ve introduced a new Admin role and refined collaborator permissions.

With Noticeable, project collaborators can have one of the following roles:

• Viewer: this role grants read permission to your project data with 3 exceptions: access to billing data, API tokens and Zapier API key is forbidden.
• Editor: an editor inherits viewer permissions and is granted write access to posts and labels only.
• Admin: an admin inherits editor permissions and is granted write permission to all project data (posts, labels but also project, timeline and widget settings).
• Owner: the user who creates a project is automatically granted the owner role with full read and write permissions to project data. Only one owner is allowed per project and it cannot be changed.

You can now also edit a collaborator role from your project settings without revoking and sending a new invitation.
