We've redesigned feedback requests to help designers receive higher-quality unbiased feedback from their team in a remote, async-first world.
Here's how it works: when you request feedback on a design, your teammates can't view the conversation until they've left their own feedback. That way, people aren't biased by earlier comments.
You can try this today by creating a post, toggling the "Looking for feedback" switch, and optionally requesting feedback from specific people on your team. Viewers will see a blurred-out conversation until they've left their unbiased feedback.
Other improvements
- Clicking on Latest in the sidebar navigation will scroll the feed to the top.
- Added a Copy Link button to the project overflow menu.
Videos are now automatically transcribed, making it easy for viewers to read the contents of a presentation or walkthrough. Transcripts can optionally auto-scroll as the video plays, and highlights words as they're being spoken.
Other improvements
- The post composer will pre-populate the previous description and feedback requests when creating a new version.
- Posts with multiple attachments now appear as a carousel on feed posts. Videos in the carousel will auto-play when hovered.
- Pressing
enter while adding project links will automatically save a link. - Digests can now be shared with multiple emails at once by pasting in a list of comma-separated emails into the share dialog.
- Organization admins can search members directly from the people settings page.
- Slack broadcasts and notifications include more metadata like projects, tags, and feedback requests.
- Linking to a project in Slack will now unfurl a rich preview.
- Published digests can now be duplicated from the
···overflow menu, making it fast to recreate a smart digest with filters pre-applied.
Fixes
- Fixed a bug that caused the ⌘ + , shortcut to collide with global keyboard shortcuts.
- We've dramatically improved the performance of our Slack integration, making it faster to search for channels while setting up broadcasts.
- Fixed a bug that broke the redirect flow while signing in after opening a Campsite link.
- Fixed a bug that could cause a project's cover photo to be deleted while editing a project's Slack channel connection.
- Improved the contrast on the loading spinner while uploading a video to a post or comment.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the sidebar badge count for unread notifications to become stale.
Basic digests make sharing hand-picked highlights of your team's work easy, ideal for sharing highly-curated updates with cross-functional stakeholders. Posts in a basic digest can be reordered to help tell a clearer story about design progress.
By comparison, Smart Digests give you an easy way to create shareable updates using quick filters for date ranges, projects, authors, and tags.
Other improvements
- Improved how @ mentions are created to be durable against organization name and username changes.
- Comments with attachments will now display attachment previews in email notifications.
- Links to digests shared on Slack now unfurl with a rich preview of the digest's title, description, and contributors.
Fixes
- Fixed a bug that could cause the post preview dialog to be scrolled to the wrong position when opened.
- Fixed a bug that caused certain special characters to break Slack broadcasts.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the feed to refetch multiple times while loading older posts.
You can now enable personal Slack notifications for new activity on Campsite. Personal Slack notifications keep all of your communication notifications in one place and create a faster feedback loop when people mention you, comment on your posts, request your feedback, or publish posts in projects you follow.
Enable personal Slack notifications in your account settings.
Other improvements
- Buttons to reply and react to a comment are always visible on mobile, instead of appearing on tap.
Fixes
- The scroll position of the feed now resets when switching between organizations.
Email notifications are now bundled and delivered with time delays to reduce noise and save your inbox. Instead of receiving real-time emails for every activity on your posts (like mentions, or new comments), Campsite will now bundle and deliver a single notification email with all unread activity.
You can enable email notifications in your Account Settings.
For real-time push notifications, download the Campsite Desktop app.
Fixes
- Fixed performance issues when loading posts with hundreds of viewers.
- Removed the ability to follow or subscribe to archived projects.
- Fixed notifications flickering when being deleted.
We've improved the gestures for panning and zooming files in the file preview window for mouse and trackpad users:
Mouse
- Click and drag to pan
- Scroll wheel to pan (vertical and horizontal)
- Hold ⌘ or control and scroll to zoom
Trackpad
- Two-finger drag to pan
- Pinch to zoom
Digests make sharing a curated collection of your team's work with stakeholders easy — perfect for quarterly or monthly design reviews, weekly project updates, or performance calibration.
Digests show a feed of your team's work in a given time frame, with optional filters for projects, people, and tags:
It's easy to hide individual posts so that the Digest highlights the most important design updates:
And a Digest can be easily shared with anyone on your team or via email to stakeholders:
To create your first digest, click on Digests in the navigation sidebar.
Other improvements
- The project sidebar now automatically shows everyone who contributed posts to that project instead of being a manually-updated list of members.
- Projects can now be followed and unfollowed, which adds the project to your sidebar navigation and enables notifications. Notifications can be optionally disabled.
- It's now possible to post to any project in an organization, regardless of if you are following that project.
- Pressing
⌘ + , in the Desktop app opens our account settings. - Feed posts only show their first four attached files, instead of all of them, to prevent feed posts from becoming overwhelmingly tall.
- People can leave their organizations anytime from the account settings page.
Fixes
- Fixed bugs related to adding, editing, and removing links from text.
- Fixed broken links to member profiles on the post viewers list.
- The inbox unread count is now updated when viewing comments on a feed post.
- The app will redirect to the correct feed when deleting a post from the post preview or file preview dialogs.
- Fixed a bug that would cause the Grammarly browser extension to try and close open dialogs when a suggestion was applied.
- Fixed a bug where push notifications would not link to the correct destination for people in multiple organizations.
- Fixed a bug that prevented links to Origami prototypes from being opened in the Desktop app.
Teams love Slack broadcasts as an easy way to keep other designers, cross-functional partners, and leaders up-to-date on design progress. We've now added support to broadcast new posts to your private Slack channels.
To enable private channel broadcasts, upgrade the Slack integration on your organization settings page.
Once upgraded, you will need to manually add the Campsite Slack App to your private channels (learn more about how to do this) before choosing the channel in the broadcasts dropdown.
Other improvements
- Select menus are now more visually consistent with other interactive element styles, like buttons.
Fixes
- Fixed a bug that would cause the Slack oAuth flow to open a new desktop window when clicked in the Desktop app. This link now opens in your default browser.
- Fixed a bug that created an unclickable deadline in some regions of the navigation sidebar.
- Removed a double toast that could fire when subscribing to updates on a project.
When leaving a comment on a video, you can now indicate the exact time the comment is referring to. This will make feedback easier to organize and creates seamless collaboration on prototypes or walkthrough videos.
Other improvements
- We've made big improvements to image performance so that the posts and feeds load faster than ever.
Comments and reactions will now appear in real-time when viewing a post. This helps you and your team to have faster, more fluid conversations about work-in-progress without needing to refresh or re-open a post.
Fixes
- Fixed a bug where scrolling to a comment in the file preview dialog wasn't working.
- Fixed a bug that prevented a file shared in a comment reply from being opened in the file preview dialog.
