We’re excited to share a major update with you that brings important security improvements along with numerous fixes addressing various issues across the platform. These enhancements are focused on making your experience smoother, more secure, and more reliable. We’ve carefully worked through reported problems and refined key areas to ensure better stability and performance, so you can work more efficiently without interruptions. This update reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering a seamless and trustworthy platform for all your needs.

Let’s dive right into what’s new and improved:

Improvements:

• Workflow Automation Security: We improved the security of workflows by adding stronger checks to ensure only authorized users can access and edit them. This keeps your data safe and ensures no one can change workflows they shouldn’t.

• Performance Improvements: We’ve made improvements to how Atarim works with websites that use different versions of certain code libraries (like jQuery). This helps avoid conflicts that were slowing things down or causing pages not to load properly. You should now experience better performance and faster loading times when collaborating on websites with custom setups, no Chrome Extension required.

• Sticker Component Update: We’ve enhanced how stickers (annotations) stay in place on websites. Previously, if a page’s structure changed, stickers could end up in the wrong spot. Now, our system automatically tracks changes in the page’s layout and adjusts sticker positions in real time so your annotations stay exactly where you placed them, even as the site evolves.

• Inbox Pagination & UI Fixes: We replaced the old page-by-page loading with smooth continuous scrolling, so your tasks load faster and easier. We also improved how project stages and loading screens look and work, making everything clearer and more user-friendly.

• Multi-select Dropdown Portal Rendering Improvement: We fixed how multi-select dropdown menus appear in complex layouts and pop-up windows. Now, dropdowns open properly on top of all other elements without being cut off or hidden. They stay correctly aligned with the button you click. No more dropdowns getting stuck or misplaced.

• Activity Comments Display Fix: Comments now auto-scroll to the latest message, show proper loading states, avoid unnecessary reloads, and display clear empty states for a smoother, more intuitive experience.

• Cleanup Updates (Multiple): We cleaned up old and unused code paths to improve app performance and load times.

• Accurate Responsive Preview for Mobile, Tablet, and Desktop: We’ve upgraded the device preview feature to give you a more realistic view of how your site looks on different screen sizes. Now, mobile and tablet previews scale correctly to fit your screen, show accurate aspect ratios, and block background scrolling while you're testing layouts. A new scale indicator also helps developers see exactly how the preview is rendered making responsive testing smoother and more precise.

• Canned Responses Visibility: Canned responses created in workspaces are now visible to all admins with access, enhancing collaboration and saving time

Bug Fixes

• Fix for ClickUp Workspace Saving Issue: Workspace selections now save properly and persist after page refresh, ensuring smooth ClickUp integration.

• Fix for ClickUp Folder Name Saving in Workflow: Folder names in ClickUp workflows are now correctly saved and displayed after edits or page refresh.

• Fix for Invite Users Email and Chrome Extension Issues: Invite emails are now sent more reliably, and the Invite Users button behaves the same way both in the app and while using the Chrome extension

• Authentication Token Fix for Iframes: We've made some changes to how authentication is handled to better serve users with restrictive company browser policies. Now your login stays active without interruptions, making sure everything runs smoothly while you work.

As we lay the groundwork behind the scenes for some of the most significant and ground-breaking features Atarim has ever seen, we remain fully committed to continuously improving the platform you use every day.

This latest update focuses on fine-tuning the existing experience, reworking core components, squashing bugs, and introducing subtle yet impactful enhancements that make your workflow smoother and more intuitive.

Improvements:

• Smart Company Name on Signup: When you sign up with a work email (not Gmail or Yahoo), we’ll now automatically fill your company name in for you, saving you time.

• Stable Sidebar: Previously, when you added a new task, the sidebar would unexpectedly switch back to the Pages tab instead of staying on Tasks. We improved this so now the sidebar remains on the Tasks tab after adding tasks, helping you stay focused and in the right place.

• Smoother Image Handling: We improved some behind-the-scenes code so images load and display better without errors.

• Clear Confirmation When Copying Team Invite Links: We improved the team invite process by adding a clear visual confirmation when you copy an invite link from the wizard. Now, when you click the invite button, you’ll see a confirmation that the link was successfully copied to your clipboard.

Bug Fixes

• Copying Text On The Boards Screen: Resolved an issue preventing users from highlighting and copying text within the boards screen, on the task slide-in.

• Invite Process Improved: When inviting guests, collaborators, or clients via email, they will no longer be asked to update their name and password during activation. Instead, their username will be updated automatically, streamlining the invite process.

• Accurate Screenshots: Some users were experiencing issues with automatic screenshot locations, this has been reworked to better target where your tasks are made

• “Read This” Link Fixed: We fixed the “Read this” link so it now directs you to the right help documentation, making it easier to find the information you need

• Fixed Error in Retrieving User Roles in Workspaces: We resolved an error when checking user roles within workspaces. This update ensures user roles are correctly identified, improving permissions and access control

• Comment Deletion Error Resolved: We fixed an issue where deleting comments sometimes quietly errored in the background. Now, comment deletion handles these cases properly, so you won’t experience any crashes or problems when removing comments

• Fixed Error When Collaborators Upgrade Plans: We resolved an issue where collaborators sometimes faced an issue when upgrading their plans. This has been cleaned up, so plan upgrades work smoothly without any interruptions

• Resolved Error When Counting Inbox Tasks: We fixed an error that was causing issues when calculating the number of tasks in your inbox. This update ensures task counts display correctly and the inbox works smoothly

We’ve started a new era for Visual Collaboration at Atarim, and this release marks the first major milestone. We're rolling out the first phase of our complete Visual Collaboration rebuild, starting with the URL-based method.

This refactor introduces a faster, more stable, and significantly more intuitive collaboration experience, powered by a brand-new unified script architecture.

While this release focuses solely on the URL-based experience, it's built on the foundation that will soon support every method of collaboration across the platform.

With this update, users will immediately notice enhanced performance, better accuracy in comment placement, a vastly improved UI, and new capabilities that make gathering feedback on live websites easier than ever. The rest, including WordPress, Image, and Chrome, will follow in upcoming rollouts, each benefiting from this core system’s power and stability.

This update brings a round of stability enhancements, bug fixes, and overall improvements across multiple parts of the app.

We've fine-tuned performance, squashed pesky bugs, and optimized key workflows to ensure a smoother, faster, and more reliable experience for you and your team.

Improvements:

• Workspace Deletion: You can now permanently remove a workspace from your account. This option has been added to Workspace Settings.

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do, and we knew the sharing experience on our platform needed a significant upgrade to match the way modern teams work.

With Share, our goal was to make inviting team members, clients, and stakeholders easier and more intuitive while giving users better control over access and permissions.

This update isn’t just about streamlining workflows—it’s about empowering our users to collaborate effectively, reduce barriers to participation, and ultimately drive growth through a seamless and secure sharing experience.

By rethinking the design from the ground up, we’ve created a system that feels effortless while maintaining the robust functionality our users need.

The goal was to provide greater flexibility, better organization, and a smoother workflow, making it easier for teams to collaborate and keep track of multiple projects.

We’re starting 2025 strong with a big update Version 4.3 is here, and it’s all about making your work easier, faster, and more enjoyable.

What’s New in Version 4.3?

• Simpler, Smarter Navigation: We’ve cleaned up the navigation so it’s quicker to get where you need to go. Everything’s been rethought to make the tools you use every day easier to find and use. We've also made it WAY nicer to look at with a new design.

• A Fresh Look for Projects: The Projects screen has been completely redesigned and refactored. It’s clearer, more organized, and built to help you focus on what matters most without getting bogged down in the details.

• Better Sharing Options: We’ve made sharing smoother and more flexible. Whether you’re collaborating with a team or sharing updates with a client, you’ll find more control to tailor things exactly how you need them.

Why This Update Matters

This update isn’t just about looks (though it does look great). It’s about improving how you get things done, cutting out frustration, and letting you focus on the work itself.

Ready to Check It Out?

 Version 4.3 is live now, so jump in and see what’s new. We’d love to hear what you think, so don’t be shy—your feedback is what helps us keep improving.

Here’s to making 2025 your most productive year yet!

We have a small one for you today, as we continue to refactor major parts of the application with new and exciting things. We can't wait to show you what we've been working on.

For now, here is the full list for 4.2.2.

Improvements

• Remove mention of"Atarim" setting- Inside your general settings of the app here, there is a setting to remove the mention of Atarim inside collaboration. This is to ensure that you can white label the front-end for your customers. We've now removed the option to signup for the app inside collaborate when this is turned on, to ensure your customers do not see this option. They can only collaborate as a guest.

• Modals in collaborate - Looking at some modals in collaborate was difficult due to the design, there was no blue on the background and it made it pretty overwhelming to look at. This has been fixed with a nice blur and darkened background to ensure everything is easy to digest for you, your team and customers.

Bug Fixes

• User avatars - When viewing some screens of the app, where you should have seen other users' avatars, some users were seeing their own. This bug has been fixed.

We have a small release for you today, getting rid of a pesky few bugs that were either found by us or sent to us by you, our amazing users! ⚡

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Unable to remove admins: There was no way for users to remove users from a workspace if they were set to an admin, this is now fixed.

• Chrome Extension added www to sites: There was an issue where adding sites with the Chrome Extension was adding www to the beginning of links, breaking the viewing of them in some cases. This is now fixed.

• Team members adding graphics: Users invited to a workspace were seeing an error when trying to add a graphics project, this is now fixed.

• Assigning users tooltip: When assigning and unassigning users, the tooltip when creating a task or sending a comment to show you who will be notified was not updating correctly, this is now fixed.

• Workflows with Asana: Creating an automation to send tasks to an Asana board with workflows was not working correctly, this is now fixed.

• Email inbox forwarders: On brand new inboxes, the email inbox forwarder was not showing correctly, this is now fixed.

We have an incredibly exciting update for you today! As part of our ongoing mission to refactor and elevate key experiences within Atarim, we’re thrilled to bring you a completely revamped boards experience.
