New This Week In Hive: May 8, 2023

1. Public link to Calendar View

Calendar View makes it easy to visualize who and what is assigned exactly when, making it one of the most popular Project Views in Hive. Now, projects in Calendar View can be shared outside of Hive with a public link.

This is helpful to any users who prefer to share a project in a more client-facing format to non-Hive users who may want an insight into the project calendar.

To share your Calendar View with clients, external stakeholders, or whoever else may need to see a project, find the three "More" dots in the Calendar View menu. Selecting 'Share public link' will open a sharing model, where you are able to copy a read-only link and share it publicly.

Please note: Only project owners are able to copy the public link.

2. Approval notification updates

We know many users rely heavily on our Proofing & Approvals app, meaning several notifications are coming through to your Hive and email each day.

With our newest update, email and banner notifications will now display approval date and time:

This will not only provide more information and context in the many approval notifications you receive on a day-to-day basis, it will eliminate having to click into the notification to see more information about your approval.

Thank you to Katie from NYU for requesting this feature!

3. Ability to assign both placeholder and regular user

Why not both? Previously, actions could only be assigned to placeholders or regular members. Now, you can now assign an action to a placeholder *and* a regular member simultaneously. This is helpful for contingent or unfinished actions.

When selecting multiple assignees, the option to "Use placeholders" will be available.
