Wat are the key features?

We are constantly developing and working on smart and relevant features that guide users throughout their day. Below are some important features.

Experience seamless navigation

Our new navigation feature brings a sophisticated and user-friendly UI/UX design. Through research and careful analysis, we have arranged the interface in a logical flow, enabling users to navigate seamlessly from top to bottom and left to right. This intuitive navigation pattern promotes efficiency and simplicity.

Prominent position for the Global Search

The Global Search is one of our most frequently used and highly valued features. Previously, the search function was hard to find. However, with our redesigned interface, we have given the Global Search a prominent position, making it easy to locate and greatly improving the overall user experience.

We will add more features to the Global Search to allow users to refine their searches, save time, and find specific information even faster. The advanced search feature will empower users to dig deeper into their content and gain valuable insights.

With the Activity Feed, users can concentrate on the essential content without distractions. By keeping the Activity Feed consistently visible, users can quickly access important updates and notifications.

At a later moment time, we will be introducing the Adaptive Timeline. This feature enables us to tailor your feed by providing smart suggestions and personalized information, based on the data we gather from all integrations. You will receive timely reminders, task updates, and clever suggestions that are aligned with your individual needs and preferences.

Stay connected and informed through a new dedicated page for the Hub

With the new tile sizes, we introduce more customization options to create your perfect digital workplace.

About the launch

The changes will be rolled out gradually, ensuring a seamless transition for users. Starting from July 6th, each user will have the opportunity to try out and get familiar with the new V4 preview layout's interface and navigation, before it becomes widely available.

Note: due to feedback we've received from our partners and customers, there's no longer an opt-out phase. You can use the toggle until the 9th of November to get familiar with the V4 preview.

Toggle

A toggle functionality will allow users to switch back and forth between the new (V4 preview) and old (V3) layout. When enabled, users will see step-by-step instructions and will be guided throughout the new layout, showing them how it all works. The toggle will be displayed in the upper right corner of the digital workplace.

Note: in v3.66, the toggle has been moved to the title bar (header) to create more space for tiles.
