✅ Guest Approvals and Request Changes

Guests, whether they're clients, stakeholders, or directors, can now approve versions and request changes with ease. We've redesigned the version feed panel to reduce complexity and make the review process more streamlined and accessible.

When a review is submitted, it appears in the activity feed, making it easy to see who has responded and who you're still waiting on. Review activity also triggers notifications, ensuring teams stay informed as feedback and approvals come in.

➕ Improved review session building

Creating review sessions is now much simpler. We've reorganized the right-click menu to make common review actions easier to find and access.

New options include:

• Adding clips directly to a review session

• Opening multiple clips in a review

• Creating a new review session from selected clips

These actions are available throughout AYON, including Folders, Tasks, and Versions.

❤️ Improvements

• Show Clip Timeline in fullscreen mode

• Add a 'compare with current clip' context menu option

• Add a volume slider to change the clip volume

• Add timecode format and frame offset support

🛠️ Fixes

This update brings some great new features, lots of quality of life enhancements and tons of (28) fixes. Here is everything we did from 1.15.2-1.15.7.

🏎️ Huge Performance Improvements

As everyone’s projects get bigger with more data published we found some bottlenecks that were slowing some things down. This was especially obvious when dealing with real production with almost a MILLION versions 🤯

There have been lots of optimisations to make the server significantly faster and more efficient. This should make everyday use of AYON faster and smoother for everyone.

💬 Table Latest Comments

You can now see the 5 latest comments on an entity directly in the table. This makes sifting through large amounts of comments a lot faster, without ever having to open the details panel.

👁️ Activity Feed Filter

The activity feed now has an advanced filter bar so you can find exactly the comment you were looking for faster. Search for text in a comment or filter by exact matches like authors, checklists or date published.

The Search Filter bar has also got a refreshed design to make searching more initiative.

📚 Long Rich Text Attributes

You can now choose if your text attributes use short or long text formats. This lets you write rich and long text for those notes that need more detail.

🚀 Projects Page

We have completely overhauled the projects overview to make managing your studio's active productions faster and much more intuitive.

🖼️ Project Thumbnails

You can now set a Project Thumbnail directly within the project dashboard. This brings a more polished, visual look to the server dashboard.

Based on studio feedback, we have redesigned how participants enter a review session.

Previously, users were met with an immediate dialog prompt asking them to sync, which often confused external vendors who just wanted to browse playlists in their own time.

Now, everyone joins completely de-synced by default and a non-intrusive popup notification will cleanly alert users if a live sync is underway.

🛠️ Bugfixes

• If a users computer clock was out of sync it would break the ability to sync

• Fix an issue with versions published by old deleted users

This update brings loads of new features, enhancements and fixes.

Laser Pointer

You can now share your cursor with other users and draw temporary shapes to better get your feedback across. The default brush colour is now based on the users colour so everyone can easily differentiate each other.

Compare Redesign

The compare tool has been redesigned to be easier to use and clearer what you are comparing to.

• Comparing now uses A and B that makes it easier to see what is being compared.

• Right click on a reviewable (cmd+click) to compare against another reviewable.

Sorting

We have made it easier to sort clips in a review session by any attribute whilst also setting any manual sorting. This also includes a new list view so you can get a better overview of your review session. Sort clips on the Review page or on the fly inside a review session.

Syncing Stability

We have been listening to feedback and discovering edges cases. The syncing is now more stable and performant.

Other Improvements

• Restore the “Clips” view

• Improve clip loading strategy in larger sessions

• Add multiple clips to a session at once

• Lots of small bugs fixes

This release is packed with a massive amount of new features and an equally impressive list of bug fixes to make your production tracking smoother than ever.
