What's new in Hive
New features and improvements in Hive: the product updates and release notes from the Hive team.
Add project duration to Pivots and Charts
New
You can now report on project duration (calculated from start date to end date) in Pivots, Charts, and Number widgets in Dashboards. Use it to view minimum, maximum, average, or total duration values to analyze timelines across projects. This option will automatically appear when
Filter Dashboards by Milestone
New
You can now filter dashboard widgets—like Timeline, Action List, and Bar Chart—based on whether an action is marked as a milestone. Choose to include, exclude, or show only milestone-tagged actions using the same filter style as “Completed.” This makes it easier to focus your rep
Copy + Paste dates in Gantt View
New
You can now copy and paste start and end dates directly within the Gantt view table. This update allows for faster editing of project timelines by enabling bulk updates across multiple actions. To apply changes, select a date cell, copy, and paste it into another row. Thank you t
Section filter in List View
New
You can now filter List View by project Section name. Previously, only Phases were available as a filter in the Configure panel. Sections help make it easier to locate actions based on how your projects are structured. Actions can be filtered and grouped by section name — even ac
Full screen Timeline View
New
You can now pop out Timeline View into full screen for presentations, reporting, or simply getting a clearer view of your projects. This helps to make it easier to visualize timelines on larger displays (like TVs) and helps you see individual tasks more clearly, especially when m
Updated "Create New" functionality in Mobile
New
We've streamlined the mobile experience for creating new actions. Now, tapping the "+ Create New" button now opens an updated modal with clear Done and Cancel options, making it easier to start and exit. Within the modal, you can also seamlessly navigate between fields like Date,
Improved flow for adding Proof to card
New
We've recently upgraded our proofing modal which allows users to add a proof to an action card. It'll be easier than ever to understand exactly what items you can proof in Hive, and how to streamline the uploads. If you don't see the Proofing & Approvals section of your actio
Group custom fields
New
You can now group custom fields together. This is especially helpful when working with large sets of related fields — such as financial or integration-specific fields — reducing the risk of missing key data. In the Custom Fields modal (Workspace Settings), you can now: Create nam
Mobile: List View filters
New
List View filters are now available in the new Mobile app! Similar to the desktop app, if an action view has a filter, it will be applied automatically. This keeps filtering consistent across devices.

Ability to save a Dashboard as a template
New
Dashboards can now be saved as custom templates for workspaces, making it easy to standardize reporting views for all team members. This helps keep project tracking consistent and simplifies setting up new dashboards. To save a dashboard as a template, click the "More" menu dropd
Ability to compare baseline snapshot to prior baseline with project financial data

"Unbundle Subactions" in List View
New
Users can now choose to "Unbundle Subactions" in List View, meaning all actions and subactions are displayed as individual rows without a tree structure, similar to Table View. This provides a clearer, more streamlined way to view tasks while maintaining the existing option to hi
Ability to manually add Filters in Resourcing
New
Resourcing filters now follow an "add as you go" approach, similar to Dashboards/widgets filtering. This helps improve visibility into individual filters, rather than seeing them all at once. Users can manually add filters via a new "Add filter" button. Removing a filter resets i
Ability to edit Salesforce Triggers
New
Previously, once a Salesforce trigger was created, the only way to modify it was to delete and recreate it. With this update, users can now directly edit existing Salesforce triggers, eliminating the need for recreation. This provides greater flexibility in the integration and el
Improved Tabs + templates experience
New
We've improved how tabs are handled when applying project templates to reduce unnecessary duplication. Now, if a template is applied and there is already a blank tab, it will be applied in the existing tab rather than creating a duplicate. This prevents redundant tabs from being
Expanded actions in List View
New
List View now includes Expand All and **Collapse All **buttons, allowing users to quickly show or hide all nested actions at once. This makes it easier to view subactions without manually expanding each one. Expanding applies only to actions (not List View groupings) and appears
File folders for external approvers
New
External approvers can now access proofing folders while reviewing. Instead of having to review files individually in separate tabs, we've added a functionality to create a folder of all files to be approved. This will not only help speed up the approval process, but make the ext
Action status filter in Dashboards
New
We've added a new Action Status filter to Time Reporting in Dashboards. Now, users can filter time reporting (Numbers, Charts, and Pivots) to display actions with specific statuses. This update enables teams to track estimated vs. actual time or overall project completion for mor

New
Resourcing users know filters are essential to hone in on specific projects, teams, or actions. To make it easier to exit the Resourcing app without losing preset filters, users can save the "view" selection to avoid having to set it manually each time. This will help reduce the

New
The wait is over: Hive Mail now allows users to create custom HTML signatures. Previously, users were only able to create simple text signatures, limiting teams who had more intricate signatures. To add your HTML signature, head to your profile picture dropdown -> Edit profile. S

New
We're in the process of giving our Hive mobile app a little makeover. Our latest update is designed to mimic one of our most popular desktop features, allowing users to convert messages to action cards. Now, along with being able to react to, reply, or copy a message, you can con
Upload files from Google Drive into Proofing
New
We've made it easier for our Proofing & Approvals users who primarily use G Suite (Google Slides, Google Docs, etc.) for their approval files. Google Drive files can now be uploaded as proofs in action cards. This eliminates the need of having download and re-upload files in
Action card completion percentage
New
We've added the ability to see percentage complete of an action card. To see percentage complete, open a project in List View. When the “Estimated Time Spent” column is enabled, each action card will have a % next to it. The percentage complete is based on the total estimate agai

Forms linked to multiple action cards

Users will now be able to set up Forms to create multiple actions based on fields submitted in the form. When routing data from the Form Builder to an action card in Submission Rules, there is now an option to create an additional action. Once created, the field selected will rou
Notes: Collapsible bulleted lists

We've made it easier to take better control over your Notes with collapsible bulleted lists. Instead of having to sift through long lists or scroll down to find information, you can now collapse bullet points, giving a cleaner look to Notes overall. Bullets with sublists can be c

We've added an additional export option for projects in Gantt View. Along with .csv, users can now export Gantt charts as an Excel Chart (.xlsv). When exporting a Gantt chart to Excel, users have two options: an .xlsv file with only the data, and an .xslv file with a visual repre

Sort video proof by timecode
