Disable Feed: Completely Restrict Access to Feed

Some of our users desire a feed for neither public nor internal uses. In some cases, a widget view for product updates can be sufficient for informing your users without a need to direct them to another page.

Therefore, we have launched an option to disable feed if you don't need any standalone feed. It will restrict access to your feed completely and your users cannot reach it under any circumstances.

If you want to restrict your standalone feed completely, obviously we did not, you can go to Settings, Public Feed, and check the "Disable Feed" box. No more feed 🙅‍♀️

Privacy Settings Improvement: Magic Access Link

We value your security and privacy as much as we value your product updates and company news.

We had several privacy options to keep your announcements private or for internal use only. Now, we're enhancing these settings to open a few more doors for you.

You will be able to add a domain-based rule to your feed that will limit access to your feed page only with the allowed domain extension.

With domain access, people can send a request to access your feed. If their domain extension matches with your settings, they'll get a magic link via email and will be able to reach your feed with this link, only for 24 hours.

Feel free to see more here; it does not require domain access 🤫

Feed Customization Improvements

If you've been around AnnounceKit for a while, you'll know our feed theme designer hasn't significantly evolved since its first launch. So, we have added quite cool stuff, as you asked.

Header Background Image
From now on, you can add a header image to your newsfeed to create an aesthetically pleasing user experience. It provides a chance to showcase your company, your product, or any other aspect of your business that will make people want to explore your announcements.

Layout Settings
Now with layout settings, you can set to overlap your post list onto your header or not and you will be able to align description text to the left or center.

Visit our Help Center to learn how to set up yours!

Improved Analytics Dashboard

Numbers matter. From now on, we are providing you with more numbers!

The previous analytics dashboard was not very informative. You were unable to view some key metrics and see how your announcements were performing.

Finally, we've improved our Analytics dashboard. Now, you can monitor the performance and efficiency of your announcements and see how your users interact with your product updates.

For more details please check our Help Center.
