Dashboard

• Editing a publication for adding a link was not triggering a save upon click to “Continue”.

• Updating a draft publication title is now updating its slug. Previously, you had to update the publication slug manually after a title change, even if the publication was not yet published.

• Fixed an issue preventing the Noticeable Embed Widget to show in the preview editor when a custom selector was defined.

• Fixed a line wrapping issue with very long publication titles displayed on the publication list.

• Fixed subscribers search input field not working on Firefox.

• Fixed an issue that was erasing publication content upon saving when images with data URLs were included. An error message is now displayed in the editor and saving works properly.

• Fixed concurrent edition warning box not disappearing upon conflict resolution.

Widgets

• Uniformized Call-To-Action (CTA) button style to be the same as the one used with Newspages.

• Fixed an issue preventing Noticeable Widgets to load on pages with custom Content-Security-Policy (CSP).

Did you ever expect your users or customers to act right away following an update you shared? Adding a Call-to-Action (CTA) is a means to grab attention and directing people to the next step.

For each publication you publish on Noticeable you can configure a CTA that is displayed as a button along with your publication content on Newspages and Widgets.

What's the advantage of using a CTA button over a link? CTA buttons are more prominent and analytics are collected for each click, thus allowing you to see how your actions behave, but also measuring success with a click-through rate.

How to define a Call-to-Action?

1. Create or edit a publication.

2. On step 2, select the Call-to-Action (CTA) settings group.

3. Enter a label and an URL.

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 a widget refresh issue happening sometimes on Safari upon the first load.

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

Enhancements

• Added a link to move back from the Newspage subscribe page.

• Added highlight icons in the Noticeable dashboard publication list to better differentiate between archived, expired, pinned and scheduled publications while providing additional information:

  

• 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

• Fixed hashtags placeholder that was using label identifiers as a value instead of label slugs.

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.
