Q4 2022 Release Highlights

Google Drive Search

We’ve made it so that you can connect your Google Workspace Account to Staffbase’s search functionality. Your employees will then be able to search, find, and access content from Google Drive in a new tab alongside the search results from across your Staffbase platform and other connected services like Microsoft 365. 

Reach out to your Customer Success Manager to try the Google Drive Search beta today.

Experience Enhancements 

Hashtag Results

Employees can now quickly navigate content using hashtags. Clicking a hashtag will take you to a new Hashtag Results page which gives you an overview of any posts and pages that include that hashtag.

Contact your Customer Success Manager to use the Hashtag Results beta.

Comment Reporting

We’ve added the ability for employees to flag comments they view as inappropriate so that they can be reviewed by your moderators. Moderators will see flagged comments highlighted on the comment moderation screen so they can quickly hide or remove them. Crowdsourcing comment moderation will reduce work for your moderators and give them a greater sense of ownership over your Staffbase platform.

Reach out to your Customer Success Manager to activate the Comment Reporting beta.

Studio Upgrades

Transparency Mode for the Editorial Calendar

With the new transparency mode on the Editorial Calendar, you can enable all editors to see a preview of any planned, scheduled, and published communications from across other teams or departments. This supports greater collaboration and coordination, without requiring you to grant blanket editing access to your content.

Contact your Customer Success Manager to try the beta version of Transparency Mode for Editorial Calendar.

User Registration Tile

We’ve brought back user registration data to the Staffbase Studio and now display it in a dashboard tile. This allows you to easily track the registration rate as well as the number of pending invites to your Staffbase platform.

The User Registration Tile has been automatically added for all Staffbase Employee App and Front Door Intranet customers.

Email Improvements

Access Restrictions for All Contacts List

With Staffbase Email, we’ve given you greater control over your team’s use of the platform by enabling Parent Admins to specify who has the ability to access the All Contact Directory and create distribution lists.

This feature is automatically available to Staffbase Email Enterprise Plan customers sending from the Web App.

Email User Deactivation

Lastly, you can now deactivate email users from the Team Management Page and transfer ownership of their resources to your own account. The resources include drafts built in the Web App, templates, custom Dynamic and Static lists of email contacts, and integrated lists that the user has synced from Azure AD and/or Workday.

Email User Deactivation is automatically available to all Staffbase Email customers using our Web App or sending from the Staffbase Studio.
