2. Updated and improved notifications UI. Changes for a particular task are compiled and can now show up in one notification with options to explore with the arrow button.
1. Text Annotation – We have added a new text annotation feature for PDFs that allows users to add text directly to the PDF document that they are reviewing. There is a range of capabilities such as changing the font, size, bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, and highlight.
2. Comment Filtering While Reviewing – We have added a filtering function that allows users to filter out comments that were made by user who are either internal vs external to the org. Users can also filter out or in comment by specific users.

5. Device Mode – Users can now drag the device mode window to expand or shrink it. They can also specify the exact pixel dimensions not too instead of working with pre-set sizes.

1. Default phase migration and related changes. Removed empty default phase (-) and moved over to having a default phase named “uncategorized”. It is a follow-up to the release of the new Kanban UI for content. All new projects now have this phase created by default. All files and tasks in existing projects which do not belong in a phase are now migrated over the “uncategorized” default phase.
2. Performance enhancements: Miscellaneous enhancements were made to improve the performance of the app
1. Fixed for comment text area sizing. The text area was being resized on every keypress. There was also an issue with resizing space.
2. Duplicate tag names being shown in tags search as tasks. This appears to arise from a prior bug which caused two entries of the same tag to be created. Temporary patch only for the UI.
3. The file model is now launched right after the files finishes uploading. Previously, there was a modal with “start review” on it.

Book DemoStart Free Trial” Zipboard has been amazing for quickly being able to point out complex or difficult to explain changes that need to be made on our website. Rather than write up a small book I can quickly use the provided tools to visually capture the problem and point, encircle, and write a note connected to the needed changes. It has saved us so much time and increased productivity. Highly recommend. “

” The overall value comes from efficiently gathering feedback from our quality assurance team and any other stakeholders. This is very important because we want to ensure quality but at the same time, if we had to collect the feedback in another way and coalesce them, this would take time and effort that zipBoard makes easy for us. So it’s very valuable. “

” Implementing zipBoard into our development process has taken the team from using antiquated manual processes to an easy to use, globally accessible, online process. The application is flexible in how projects are set up and managed. zipBoards environment allows multiple projects to be set up and managed uniquely; where other tools force a specific method for everything. “
