• You can now transition more seamlessly from web to desktop when viewing Review Links. By pasting the review link URL into a new field in the desktop app login page, you can bypass login friction and access content faster and more reliably. Functionality applicable for public/password-protected review links. 

• When you download files from a Review Link in your web browser, a panel now opens on the right side of the page to show you the download progress. 
• We resolved an issue with bulk adding users to a distribution list. From the Users page in Administration, you can now add as many as fifty users to a distribution list at once. 
• If you only have upload permission in a project, you can now upload folders to that project, in addition to individual files. 
• The pages in a watermarked document now load properly after the document has been open for more than half an hour. 
• We fixed a bug to ensure you can edit Review Links that previously contained watermarked content, even after watermarking is turned off for your account. 
• Finally, we clarified the description of the “Only Allow Templates'' option (Administration > SafeStream > Watermark Settings). Selecting this option will have two effects: (1) Workspace users cannot create custom watermark templates in Projects; instead, they must select one of the templates created in Administration. (2) To apply forensic watermarking to a project, a user will need to choose a visible video watermark template first. 

• As an administrator, you can now create and manage your own API keys directly from the Profile page. Just click your avatar in the bottom left, select My Profile, and visit the new “API Keys” section. Click here to learn more.

• When viewing a longer comment on a document or image file, clicking the “more” button now displays the rest of the comment.

• When you open and play a video in Projects, playback now continues uninterrupted even if the gallery below the video player hasn’t finished loading. 
• After you delete users in bulk from Administration, the updated user list automatically appears. Before, deleting thirty or more users at once would display the message “No users found” until you refreshed the page. 

• We fixed a bug affecting the search bar in Projects and Insights. As you start typing a search term, clicking on a text suggestion now searches for that suggestion. 
• Dragging a file into the Sent Links tab will once again add the file to the Review Link you selected, instead of replacing the contents of the link. 
• We resolved an issue with workspace-level watermark preferences. Now, if an administrator requires that new projects have forensic watermarking, then forensic watermarking will be applied to new projects whether or not visible watermarking is also required.

As an administrator, you can make these options available under Administration > Settings > General.

• Immediately after you turn on MFA for your user profile, you can continue sharing, downloading, and accessing files in Review Mode without needing to refresh the page. 
• In Review Links, we fixed a visual defect that could cause the Clear Range button to overlap with the “Leave a comment” window. 
• When reviewing files, the comments section can now load as many as one thousand comments. 
• If you are not logged in to MediaSilo, attempting to comment on a file gives you the option to log in or to create a user profile for reviewing files. For anyone choosing the second option, we updated the messaging to make it clear you are just creating a reviewer user, not a user account with access to a MediaSilo workspace. 

• We updated the Profile window that appears when you log in to MediaSilo for the first time. In addition to improving the layout, we added the option to upload your profile photo. Users can still update their profile at any time by clicking the avatar button in the bottom left and selecting “My Profile.”

• We made some formatting changes to the text file or spreadsheet you download whenever you export comments. This way, formatting is consistent among the different file types you can export (.txt, .csv, .xls).

• You can now limit playback to a specific time range whenever you select a range-based comment. Select the “Loop” option to play the time range on a loop, or “Play Once” to stop playback at the end of the range. You can learn more about commenting tools and video player controls here. 
• When you open a direct link to a range-based comment, you can now hit Play to play the video from the start of the corresponding time range. Before, hitting Play would reset the video to the beginning.
