Updated Board UI, Simplified Sharing, New Icon Library and More Hats!
Today we're releasing some major updates to Ludi, focused on improving the board experience and sharing, plus lots of other cool updates.
Updated Board UI
No More Design Mode
Super Lock
Mini-map
There is also a “Jump To…” option when clicking on the zoom controls, which instantly moves you to a frame on your board.
Board Sharing Updates
We’ve simplified board sharing to three levels of "trust": Team, Organization and Open. Choose who can join your board without approval:
- Team: Your team can join the board instantly.
- Organization: Anyone in your ‘org’ can join instantly.
- Open: Anyone with the link can join instantly (subject to your plan's guest limits).
New: Invite Via Email
Please note: People joining the board are still subject to member and guest seat allocations, driven by your plan.
Icons ❤
More Hats! 👑
You can push Shift+H to cycle through the hat collection, but for the more discerning hat enthusiast, click on your own profile image in the top right and select ‘Wear Hat’ to browse the full range. Welcome to the Hat Club.
Platform and Feature Improvements
Here are a few of the smaller improvements coming out in this release:
Improved board joining
- We've improved the routes for people joining boards, so there should be less confusion and more joining.
Tokens
- The Team tokens now auto-populate with your team pictures before they join the board, which means you can use them when designing activities.
Shapes: New styles
- New shape styles for making layouts or diagrams.
Polls
- Added a count of responses to each poll answer, in addition to the percentage.
Available seats
- Added visibility of seat count when inviting new team members
Account Access Control
Add your trusted email domains in the Admin settings to allow new members to auto-join your organization account.
- Set the approved domains to enable auto-joining for your colleagues when they visit a board for the first time.
- Set a default team for new users when they join. Optional, but recommended for Starter plan teams.
Updated Invite and Join Request Management
- Admins can view invites sent by email, and approve or deny any account join requests made by new users.
Catch you in the next update.
