New Design
A revamped design for the brainstorming section. The new design offers a cleaner, more user-friendly interface, enhancing user experience and ease of use.
Drop-Down Access Mode Selection
Access modes like “Anyone with a link can join” are now selected via a drop-down list. The drop-down list simplifies the process, making it clearer and easier for users to choose the right option.
Instruction Widget
The new IdeaClouds features a permanent instruction widget that provides continuous, unobtrusive guidance, enhancing focus and workflow.
Online/Offline Indicator
A more responsive status indicator for online/offline modes. The new indicator now also lists visitors in real time, providing accurate status and enhancing interaction and participation.
Self-Resizing Cards
Cards automatically adjust their size based on content. Self-resizing cards save time and make the process more efficient.
Add Aspects via “+”
A “+” button allows faster addition of ideas to cards. The “+” button streamlines idea addition, speeding up the brainstorming process.
Selective Export of Cards
Users can now export all or select individual cards. Selective export saves time by allowing users to export only what’s needed.
Drag & Drop Image Upload
Images can now be dragged and dropped into the widget for upload. This feature simplifies the process and saves time, making it easier to add images quickly.
Improved Import Widget
Users can now search and import cards by workshop name. The improved widget offers more flexibility and speed in card imports. Unlike before, users can now choose to import either Idea Cards or Facilitation Cards, rather than having to import both.
Editable Workshop Name
The workshop name can now be directly edited both within the session and from the ‘My Workshops’ section on the dashboard. This allows for faster and more convenient management, streamlining title adjustments and improving workshop organization.
New “I’m Done” selection
The “I’m done” option is now a dropdown instead of a checkbox. A dropdown makes it easier and more intuitive for users to mark tasks as complete.
Permissions Widget
Displays moderator permissions clearly. The permissions widget improves communication by clearly showing who has access to what.
Two Evaluations in one Round
The evaluation process has been streamlined to allow two evaluations in a single round, saving time while ensuring thorough assessments.
