Approval status filtering in Timesheets
New
Approvers can now filter submissions by approval status — including Pending Approval, Approved, Returned, and Unapproved — directly in the My Approvals tab. Previously, all timesheet submissions appeared in a single list, making it hard to quickly spot what still needed action. N

Cost and Bill Rate in Dashboard Pivot Tables

You can now add Cost and Bill Rate fields directly in the Values area of Dashboard Pivot Tables — making it easier to view and calculate financial data in one place. This helps teams run manual cost or profitability calculations right inside dashboards, even when API data is unav
Lock Dashboard filters

Dashboard Owners can now lock specific global filters. This helps to ensure filters remain unchanged. When filters are locked, users will see a small lock icon with the note “Locked by admin.” Only dashboard owners — or users with share on behalf of owner permissions — can lock o
Dashboards: Skip dates with no value in charts
New
Dashboard charts displaying data over time will now show continuous timelines, even on dates where there are no data points — just like Goals charts already do. This helps to minimize uneven timelines and visual gaps in Dashboard reporting.

Display all "N" rounds in Proofing & Approvals
New
We've improved the way actions with multiple approval rounds display in Proofing & Approvals. Now, when an action includes more than two inactive rounds, a **“Show all N rounds” **button appears at the top of the modal. This makes it easier to jump straight to the latest acti
Workflows: Improved functionality for “Assignee Changes” trigger
New

New
We’ve added a new “Settings Change” activity type to the Workspace Activity feed, starting with timesheet configurations. Now, whenever an admin updates settings like auto-fill source, reporting source, auto-lock, or auto-approve submissions, the change is automatically logged wi
Copy + paste formatting improvements
New
We’ve enhanced how text copied from email (Outlook, Gmail, etc.) and other external sources is handled in Hive. Previously, pasting content into action card descriptions often resulted in hard-to-read formatting. Text will now paste neatly into action cards — keeping links, lists
Share & filter Dashboards in Tabs
New
You can now share and update filters on Dashboards when they’re added as a tab within a project. Previously, these options were only available in the Dashboards app, making it difficult for teams who primarily access Dashboards from the project level. With this update, teammates

New
We've pulled the Completed/Incomplete control out of the Statuses filter to make it easier to find and use. You’ll now see two dedicated toggles — Completed and Incomplete — in the Search filters. Turning these on/off updates results immediately and stays in sync with the Statuse
List View column picker
New
We’ve redesigned the “+ Column” control in List View to make managing columns faster and clearer. The new picker groups fields into Shown, Hidden, and Fields in Workspace, adds clear labels for standard vs. custom fields, and lets you add, hide, and reorder columns.

Exclude draft projects in Dashboards filtering

Shift+click action selection in List View

You can now use the "shift+click" shortcut with checkboxes in List View to select multiple items at once — just like in Table View. This brings consistency across views and makes it easier to manage bulk actions like assigning tasks, updating statuses, or moving items.

Retain history for role changes in Timesheets
New
We've improved how role data is handled in Timesheets. Role and Employee ID details in timesheet exports will now remain locked — even after a user has been removed. This allows Timesheet entries to reflect the correct role at the time they were submitted, even if a user’s role h
List View: Select actions via checkboxes
New
You can now select actions in List View using checkboxes. Checkboxes will appear when you hover over a row or when an action is already selected. Subactions are not automatically included when you select a parent action, since they may not match the current view’s filters or sort
Workflows: Ability to update due date of an action card

New
You can now reorder action cards within a single day in Calendar View — no need to move them to a different day just to change the order. This works for both single and multi-day actions and applies in both the calendar cell and the overflow window. A new optional “Sort by Rank”
Dashboards: Widget Library Types
New
We’ve reorganized the Widget Library to make it easier to find and select the right widget types. Widgets are now grouped into clear, functional categories: Charts/Tables: Includes Bar Chart, Pie Chart, Line Chart, and Pivot Table for visualizing and reporting data. Organize/Desi
Internal-restricted Proofs
New
You can now mark a Proof as an Internal Version, keeping it completely hidden from external approvers. This is especially useful when you’re still working internally — making early edits, sharing work-in-progress, or adding internal-only context — before looping in a client or ex
Reorder Notes Entries
New
Users will now be able to reorder Notes entries in all notebooks. If you have a note with multiple entries, you can now drag and drop the order of those notes entries in whatever way you'd like. When you hover over the entry you'd like to move, you'll see a drag-and-drop option.

Link submitted actions to multiple projects with Dynamic Forms
New
You can now use Dynamic Project fields in Forms to automatically populate the "Link to projects" field on submitted action cards. This means actions created through a form can now be linked to multiple selected projects — no manual linking required. When this setting is enabled,
