For organizations that have connected Campsite to their Slack workspace, post links shared in any public or private channel now unfurl a rich preview to give people more context.
To enable this new functionality, you will need to upgrade your Slack connection through the Organization Settings page.
Other improvements

The new notifications inbox makes it easy to keep track of incoming feedback and ongoing conversations with people on your team.
If you're using the Campsite Desktop application, the dock icon will now show an unread count badge so that it's easy to know when new activity has happened in your conversations.
To avoid notification overload, we added an option to disable email notifications in your account settings.
Keyboard shortcuts
The inbox supports many keyboard shortcuts to help with notification triage:
- u to mark a notification as read or unread.
- ⇧ shift + u to mark all notifications as read.
- ⌫ delete to delete a notification.
- ⇧ shift + ⌫ delete to delete all read notifications.
- ↑/↓ or j/k to navigate through notifications.
- Hold ⌥ or alt and click a notification to toggle read or unread without navigating.
- Hold ⇧ shift while navigating notifications to bulk-select.
- Hold ⇧ shift while clicking two notifications to bulk-select a range of notifications.
- esc to deselect the current notification.
Improvements

- Block quotes are now supported while composing a post or comment. Use the new popover menu or the markdown "> " syntax to start typing a block quote.
- Typing certain characters in the post or comment input will now automatically convert them into the stylistically-correct version of those characters. For example, typing 1/2 will print ½ instead.

Reactions are a fun, lightweight way for people to acknowledge someone's message in a conversation. In addition to reacting to posts, you can now react to individual comments in a conversation.

Two-factor authentication adds extra protection to your Campsite account and organizations. For people who signed up for Campsite using an email and password, two-factor authentication is now available on the account settings page.
Two-factor authentication works with any authenticator app, like Google Authenticator or 1Password. Text message based two-factor authentication is not supported.
Campsite for Desktop is now available. The Desktop app provides a dedicated space to keep up with your team's work in progress, and provides even more room to view images and prototypes without browser chrome.
Campsite has a fresh coat of paint and a refreshed app navigation structure. A new sidebar makes it easy to get to people, projects, and tags with fewer clicks. Search from anywhere, and find access to your organization or account settings from the pickers at the top.
Add thumbnails to your projects to make project pages more recognizable, and to make the projects grid easier to scan. If you don't have a thumbnail handy, attach one of our presets from the gallery in the project composer.
The command menu makes it fast to find anything in your organization. Search for people, projects, or tags and press enter to quick-navigate to that view.
