To allow for more customization in project privacy and reduce room for error, we've added a new option to allow only admins to edit a project template.

Find this setting by selecting project members and scrolling to "Permissions" in the Project Template Edit menu. From here, project owners and admins can choose whether or not all members or just admins can edit a template.

If the "Project owner and Admins only" option is selected, all regular members will not be able to edit the template at all.

For bigger teams or large projects, we've made it possible to edit more than one project member at once instead of having to manually delete/add each user.

In Project Navigator, the "Add people to projects" button is now "Manage project members". Within the menu, you can choose to mass-invite users to projects or mass-remove users from projects.

We've added some key updates to Proofing & Approval templates. Approval Templates are now available as a tab in the Templates section of Workspace Settings, making it easier and quicker to access. Approval Templates can also be edited, previewed, created, and deleted.

To learn more, check out our video here.

Previously, there was no ability to reset approval rounds in Proofing and Approvals. To avoid having to completely delete and re-add an approval round, we've created a "Reset Round" option.

In the "More" Menu of each approval round, there is a "Reset Round" option. Selecting this option clears out all stage responses and kicks the round back off from the first stage.

**When resetting a round, you will be prompted to Confirm. Resetting approvals round will remove all completed approvals within the round, which cannot be undone.

We've made it easier to enable specific custom fields for certain workspace projects. Now, in Workspace Settings -> Custom fields, users can click the number of projects under "Used in" to see/edit projects for the specific custom field.

Action card statuses help determine where teams are at in terms of progress, but often times, stakeholders need a clearer picture of project & task progress — especially actions that have a longer timeline and are not 100% completed.

We've added a manual slider on action cards in Gantt View to determine % complete. In the "Configure" panel of a project, scroll down to the "Display" section. There is now a checkbox to "Display percent complete".

When the checkbox is clicked, actions in Gantt will show percentages. To change a percentage, click the slider (carrot) icon and drag to your preferred percentage.

Previously, action card comments could only be sorted by the default option of oldest to newest.

Not only is the comment box now sticky to the bottom of the card, users can now click 'sort' to switch the order so that the newest comment is at the top (or vice versa).

Dragging an action in Table View to an action with existing subactions makes the dragged action a subaction; however, this was previously not possible for top-level actions.

Now, users can drag an action over a top-level action in Table View to convert it to a subaction of that action (similar to Gantt view). This speeds up subaction creation by removing the previous back-and-forth process.

We’re excited to be launching a first-of-its-kind AI-powered project builder. Our AI Project Builder has been built with one goal in mind: make your project planning process easier from a single prompt.

To start building a project, click the "+New" button in the upper right corner of your workspace. When you select "Project" from the dropdown, click "Use a template" then "Use Hive curated Templates" at the top of the modal.

Select the "Auto-Create with HiveMind" button in the top right corner to start the project creation process. Simply give HiveMind a prompt and any additional information. Click "Generate" to see the project come to life!

For more information, check out our video here.

To allow for a clearer view of active projects, due dates now have the option to be automatically removed when a user updates an action card status to 'On Hold' (either from a Workflow button or done manually).

There is now a workflow option to 'Remove due date' to allow users to set up the following workflow: "In [project] when status changes to 'On Hold' then 'remove due date'". When this is set up and the conditions for the workflow are met, the action card dates are removed.

To edit or create custom workflows, find the "Workflows" app in the Hive App Library.
