September changes

Collin Palmer -

September has been a busy month for us at Padlet. We've released a lot of new features, made improvements across the board, and fixed some lingering bugs.

New

  • Scheduled changes to your membership can now be easily undone in the Settings > Billing page.

  • All drafts can now be published with a single click. This is great for users who like to drag-and-drop a lot of files or want to get everything in order before publishing all at once.

  • Hovering over posts on a computer now shows a new quick-edit button that makes updating posts simpler and faster.

  • If a post is published before the attachment is done uploading, the new auto-publish feature will take care of adding the post the moment the attachment is uploaded

  • In addition to a whole new design, posting in the mobile app now includes the ability to edit captions.

  • A new "Bulk Change Roles" feature lets administrators for Backpack accounts change multiple member's roles at once.

Improvements

  • Our mobile apps got updated with a bunch of under the hood improvements which means better performance, less bugs, and faster releases of new features in the future.
  • When you exceed your padlet or file size limit, a new page will show you more information about your account and how to upgrade to continue creating beautiful things.
  • TikTok and WeVideo attachment previews have been improved.
  • It's now more clear when a post will require approval from an administrator before being shown to everyone on a padlet.
  • The design of posts awaiting approval has been updated so the status of a post is more clear to everyone who can see it.
  • The menu for posts has been updated to a new design and now supports dark mode.
  • A new design for adding and editing comments on mobile devices makes it easier to see what you're typing and save changes when you're ready to share.
  • Editing comments on your desktop have also been updated to make it more clear which comment is being changed.
  • The scrollbars in Shelf padlets have been updated to make it easier to navigate longer columns of posts

Fixes

  • Posting in the Padlet app in iOS 13 has been fixed.
  • Issues with playing uploaded videos have been fixed.
  • Exporting padlets as images works more reliably now.
  • Pasting text from a Microsoft Word document now works as expected.
