This week’s release adds more help text and Knowledge Base links throughout Shift, so you can quickly find answers to some common questions. We also fixed bugs affecting specific Review Link scenarios.

What’s New

• When you share a Review Link with a distribution list, we let you know if your settings require the removal of certain people from your list. For example, if you chose “Workspace users” as your Access setting, you cannot share the link with any non-workspace users on your list. Our new messaging aims to make these kinds of restrictions clearer.
• We also added new messaging to the Insights page. If you are editing a Review Link via Insights, we now show you how to add files to your link. This workflow changed last month, when we introduced the new Sent Links tab for faster link editing. 

Fixes

• This release fixes a bug with on-demand watermarking. Before, a video might indicate that watermarking was still in progress when the video was in fact ready for viewing. Now, the video updates automatically, so you can start watching without reloading the page. 
• When you right-click on a folder, the options menu no longer overlaps with file thumbnails in list view. 
• Managers and users can now share a public Review Link with a distribution list that contains non-workspace emails. Before, this option was only working properly for administrators.
• Lastly, this release fixes a bug affecting playback of password-protected videos sent from projects with an email or custom-text watermark. Now, if the link expires and you choose to renew it, your link recipients can still watch the videos, even if they don’t have a Shift account.
