Happy 2021 🎉

In the first release of this year, we made several changes at once.

We added the ability to hide client names on certain boards.
If this option is enabled, for other users initials will be shown instead of a name, the user pic will also be replaced by a standard one containing an acronym.



It is now possible to choose the sorting of posts on each board, which will be applied by default.



The post creation buttons have also changed, now its color is customizable for each of the boards.

We made a page containing some useful information about the usage of Productroad in your company.

Sometimes people want to make their product decisions more transparent at the same time, keeping the communication only inside the team. For such cases we implemented read-only boards.





You can open to read any board to your users while only your team will be able to post and comment on that board.


We also fixed some minor bugs in this release.

Sometimes you, as a member of a team working on a product, may want to create a post about a feature that definitely should be implemented. Before this day you were needed to create a post and after that change its status. Now the feedback creation form has been redesigned. You can create a post with the desired status and assign it to a particular team member in one step.





We also fixed some bugs preventing cleaning tags for a post, markdown support was also improved.

For companies, that not use Internal (your account completely closed for the entire world and available only for the team after authentication) mode can be helpful to differentiate private posts on roadmaps. We added that differentiation by slightly changing the background and marking such posts with a lock icon.



We hope this small change will help you estimate how your clients see a roadmap.
