Release Notes

For Users

Fixed

• On Android, some text formatting options within Action Card descriptions were causing the wrong font to be used.
• Quick Filter toggle buttons are a little more responsive now.

For Admins

New

• You can now limit your campaign’s list of Mobilize events to show only events pinned as “Highest Priority” in Mobilize or events owned by your organization.

Improved

• You can now make Internal Link Action Cards which link to the various home screen tabs on your campaign. Plus, links that you share to the home screen will more reliably bring the person who clisk the link to the correct tab.

Fixed

• There were some bugs and odd behaviors on the Create/Edit Gallery from which we have squashed.
• Cleaned up some messy styling on the corners of dialog box modals. You had to look really closely to notice it, but it’s fixed now!

For Users

New

• Shared Galleries are now visible in the Content Library if your campaign admins have added them to your campaign. You can tell a Gallery is a Shared Gallery by the banner displaying the campaign name at the bottom of the thumbnail.

Improved

• In the Content Library’s “Recent Content” and “Galleries” lists, items will no longer float to the top of the list just because they are “new” and unseen. Previously, if you looked at a “new” item that was at the top of your list, then tapped back to the gallery, it might have shuffled to a different place in the list since it was no longer “new”. Now, these lists will always be order by when the item was last updated, regardless of whether it is new to you or not.

Fixed

• For the past month or so, Users who started using Reach on iOS were not getting an option to turn on Push Notifications. That is now fixed and any of those users who have never been asked about push notifications permissions will be asked next time they launch the app.

For Admins

New

• New Shared Galleries Admin screen lets you browse all available Shared Galleries, see a preview of what is in them, and add some to your campaign.
• You can now see a users’ My Campaign VAN ID in the User drawer, if they have been synced to My Campaign.
• You can now set your campaign’s default home screen tab from the Home Screen section of the Campaign Settings screen.

Improved

• On the Content Reviews, Share Feedback, and Actions lists, you can now customize the column visibility and order, and turn on a new Campaigns column to let you see when actions or feedback came from users on other campaigns via Shared Galleries.
• When editing Galleries you can now set Sharing preferences.

Fixed

• The “File Upload” label in Action Cards Default Template Library modal’s filter drop-down is better.
• The Layout of the Action Card creation form’s Push Notification toggle is better.
• The placeholder of the Labels thumbnail image is now the correct aspect ratio.
• Action Card Default Template Library browser windows were looking a bit messy when there were no templates to browse. Now they look neat.

For Users

Nothing in this version

For Admins

New

• You can now see two new fields in Users admin: First Seen” and “Last Seen”. These are visible in the table view and in the sidebar for a given user.
• You can now configure which columns are visible on the Users admin table.
• Your VAN MyCampaign integration can now send new users who join your Reach campaign to VAN My Campaign! To enable this, you’ll need to edit your My Campaign integration instance and visit the “Features” tab and enable the two new features.

For Users

New

• The bottom bar in the Content Viewer has been redesigned to include a new option: Content Reviews! Now you can leave reviews of each piece of content with a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down and a comment to let your campaign know what you think of the content they’re providing. That same bottom bar will also indicate if you’ve already reviewed or downloaded a piece of content.
• At the top of the Library screen, you’ll see a new button for My Sharing History that lets you see a running list of every piece of content you have shared or downloaded. From there, you can then leave Share Feedback for each of your shares! Did your share go viral? Answer a few quick questions to let your campaign know how the sharing went and even provide a link to your social media post so they can check it out and maybe amplify it.
• If you tap to “See All” Recent Content, you’ll see a new “…” menu in the top right of that list. Tap there and you can “Mark All As Seen” to clear ALL “new” indicators from this campaign’s content so you can get a clean slate.
• Every evening, if you’ve shared any content the previous day, you’ll get a Push Notification from Reach reminding you to leave feedback for those shares.
• In the Campaign Settings window’s Notifications section, you’ll have a new toggle switch to turn on or off Content Feedback Reminder push notifications per campaign.

Improved

• On the Action Feed tab, when your action cards are loading, you should now see a loader animation rather than a message that there are no action cards.

Fixed

For Users

For campaigns who have enabled this feature, you’ll see a new Library tab on the home screen where you can browse Recent Content, Galleries, and Labels. Each screen lets you filter and search content to find just the meme you want to share. Tap into a specific piece of content to download or share it!
