Hubs

2024.17 (July 30, 2024)

Major changes from the 2024.14, 2024.15, and 2024.16 versions of the platform are included in this post.

New Releases

Images and Attachments in Comments

You can now add images and attachments in Hub Comments! This feature makes sharing visual content and resources easier within your community. Easily add files by dragging and dropping them into the comments area or by copying and pasting images and files directly into your comments.

Hub Homepage Switching

We're excited to introduce Hub Homepage Switching! Now you can choose which page of your Hub serves as the default homepage your audience sees when they log in or click the logo. Easily spotlight new products, promote special areas, or change things up without hassle. And stay tuned—soon you'll be able to set the upcoming community discussion forum as your homepage for even more flexibility.

New ‘Row’ Menu Layout

We introduced a new header menu layout option for Hubs that combines the best features of the other menu layouts. The new layout ensures that all menu items are visible in a single row, with the search bar conveniently accessible above it. This design simplifies navigation, making it easier for you to set up your Hub and for your members to navigate it. Alongside the ability to switch the Default Homepage of the Hub and customize the 'Home' item in the menu, navigating and setting up the structure of your Hub has never been simpler.

Enhancements and Improvements

Hub Comment Logs (Ongoing Beta)

We've significantly improved the Hub Comment Logs (Beta). You can still sign up for this feature by commenting on this post and requesting access here. Issues with replying to comments from the logs area have been resolved, and clicking on media now takes you directly to the media page in the Hub. Additionally, clicking on an audience profile in the logs area will open their profile details immediately instead of redirecting you to the audience page.

Customizable Homepage Menu Item

With the homepage now updatable, we’ve made it easier to customize the label of the corresponding menu item in the header. While you can’t delete this vital part of your Hub, you can easily see which page is currently set as the homepage and update its label.

Hub Switcher UX Improvements

Clicking away from the Hub switcher now closes it, and selecting a Hub from the list opens it in the same tab. These updates greatly enhance the overall user experience, especially on mobile devices.

Improved Hub Experience on Mobile

We’ve made a variety of UI fixes, tweaks, and updates to enhance the commenting experience, making it easier than ever to keep up with your community on the go. The clickable area for commenting has been increased for better usability on certain devices, buttons have been repositioned for prominence, and several dropdown bugs have been fixed. Additionally, the layout and visuals of the audience profile on mobile devices have been improved.

To go along with these spotlighted updates, a large number of minor improvements and bug fixes were included in this release across the entire platform.
