This summer, we launched Popsync, a collaborative image search experience and one of the simplest ways to get started in your workspace.

What’s New In Your Workspace

Collaboration Features :collaborator:

We spent a large part of the year making mighty improvements so you can work effectively together across multiple workspaces with others.

Some features we added this year include:

  • Meet in your workspace using your personal meeting room link (available on all plans in December).
  • Switch quickly between the meeting room and the workspace so anyone can jot down ideas or action items.
  • Take the lead with a single click to have others follow you.
  • Use the new laser pointer to highlight the exact areas you’re talking about.

We’ve also provided our users with more control and security with features like:

  • New user permission settings
  • Workspace link sharing
  • Password-protected workspaces
  • Expiry dates for workspace links

Hi-Fi Image and Video Rendering :video_play_button:

Bluescape is focused on delivering a high-quality image and video upload experience.

This year, improvements include:

  • The ability to zoom in very close on an image without losing resolution.
  • Leave pixel-level comments or annotate using the pen tool to make reviews effortless.
  • Upload videos in pixel-perfect quality, send frame-level feedback and conduct video reviews with your team at the same speed and frame with silky synchronized playback.
