Bulk update for custom fields

Hi everyone,🚀 We’ve just released the Bulk update for custom fields into the GA! This allows you to update multiple custom fields at once.🚨 What’s new?You can now update custom fields in Bulk! Previously, it was only possible to do an update of a single custom field from a column or a feature sidebar. It works for any kind of custom field - drop-down, member, text, and number. Pro Tip: If you want to select more features under each other, select the top one, hold the shift key and then select the last feature. All the features in between the first and last feature will get selected.💪 Why is it important?This highly requested feature eliminates non-value-adding work and saves time for our customers.📚 Learn moreYou can learn more in this Help Center article.

Lock views to prevent accidental changes and deletion

We have just released the new View sharing menu with the option to Lock Views to all customers on Scale and Ent plans. 🚨 What’s new? New and optimised sharing window Much requested view locking mechanism (roadmap, feature board) to protect views from accidental changes and deletion No more 'free-for-all' on views. When the view is locked only the owner of the view can edit or delete the view. The concept of view owner - each newly created view will have an owner assigned by default (this will allow us to do things like request access in the future) Note: Admins retain the right to manage locked views (as long as they are shared) Learn more. Why is this important?Previously, when a view was shared with other makers, makers with access were able to update, hide or delete the view. This led to frustration when other users relying on the view found out that the view was changed or missing. The problem was very prominent in large spaces (Scale, ENT) where it’s very hard to organise and

Share & embed column roadmaps (Labs)

🚀 We released customer-facing column roadmaps to Labs. This allows you to share column roadmaps with anyone who has a link and embed them. 🚨 What’s new?You can now share column roadmaps with anyone who has a link. You can embed the roadmap wherever their audience is. You can choose whether the viewer will see feature cards or portal cards. 💪Why is it important?Some makers currently struggle to align and collaborate with people who don’t have Productboard accounts. Now you can share a roadmap with anyone who has a link. You can now embed column roadmaps in wikis like confluence or on their websites. This means you can reach their audience wherever they are. 📈 What’s next?Future improvements include extending this functionality to timelines roadmaps and implementing real time updates for the shared link.

Suggested Notes for Features

Hello Product Makers! We’ve just released Suggested Notes for Features on the Scale and Enterprise plans! What is new?When you visit the insights tab on a feature, we may display suggested notes under the linked insights. These notes are predicted to be relevant to the given feature based on text-analysis of their content. Suggested notes can be both processed and unprocessed notes. We only display recommended notes that don’t have insights already linked from them to the currently viewed feature. Not all features will include suggestions. We can only provide note recommendations for features that have at least one insight linked. The more insights are linked to a feature, the more likely we can provide relevant suggestions. Why is it valuable?You can now easily discover unlinked relevant feedback for your most important features. This can help make discovery efforts more efficient - instead of manually searching for additional notes based on keywords, you can access relevant feedback
