To start the new year right, we’ve cooked up an exciting new batch of features based on your feedback. Now, comments can turn into full-fledged conversations, items can be treated and managed as tasks, completed things can be moved out of the way, and you can be notified of it all via email. This set of features takes Outspokes from a brainstorming tool to something that can fit into your daily work flow.
Feedback Conversations
Not sure what Susan meant by that comment? Ask her right on your site by hitting the “reply” on any comment, design, or bug. Like normal feedback, you can pinpoint a part of a page to attach to your reply to give better context. This means everything relating to one idea, design, of bug can be encompassed in one manageable conversation instead of many disparate comments.
Delegate Feedback
Most comments, designs, and bugs are things that need to be acted on. Who’s going to do it? Now you can assign any of your invited collaborators to any individual piece of feedback and treat it like a task. Keep track of what you’re working on with the new “My Work” tab which lists the pages of the site where you’ve been assigned comments, designs, or bugs.
Archive Feedback
Finished with a design or a bug? Instead of cluttering up the list, just hit archive to hide it for later. Archived things are hidden by default but can always be seen again by ticking the “Show Archived” checkbox at the bottom of the widget or using “Outline All” mode to select an element that has comments (whether they’re archived or not).
Email Notifications
We know you log in often to see if your collaborators have added new feedback via Outspokes. With email notifications, we’ll bring the updates to your inbox! You can be notified of new feedback, new replies to feedback you created, or when something’s been assigned to you. When your team needs you, Outspokes reaches back out to you!
Thanks for all the feedback and we’d love to know what you think of this big new release!
Love it! I cannot wait to try it. Good stuff guys!
