Happy September! The team has been hard at work over the past month on a number of new features and enhancements. We're excited to deliver a few of those to you today.
Thank you
to everyone who has been adding their thoughts to our feedback portal -- you are already helping influence the direction of the product in Q3/Q4 this year. 🚀 More to come.--
✅ New Features
One of our most highly requested features is here! You can now quickly preview a portal as a specific contact or group:
- In the right hand corner, click "View portal" then "View as..."
- Search for the person or group you want to preview the portal as. You can view their assigned Portal configuration below their name.
- You can preview multiple portals at one time. Portals are opened in read-only mode. You cannot modify any information in these views.
- There is a new permission that you can assign to your permission roles if you'd like to give this permission to users outside of your admin users.
-
2) Updated email controls - Add CC and BCCs to your outbound emails and email templates:
- You can specify up to 5 CC and 5 BCC email addresses you want to send to on any manual outbound email message.
- When you have an authenticated email domain registered with your event, you can now specify any email address from that domain that you want the email to be sent from. Previously, you were limited to one email address (e.g. ). You can now send from <any-prefix>@acmeconference.com, if enabled.
- You can add these specifications into your email templates to provide easy replication across all emails you send.
-
3) Duplicate Sessions:
- You can now duplicate one or more sessions!
- In your Submissions or Agenda dashboard, select sessions you would like to duplicate and then click "More" -> "Duplicate".
- This will duplicate all metadata (except any files and subsessions) that have been attached to the session.
- Duplicated sessions will be given the status of "Pending" by default
-
4) Duplicate Custom Reports:
- You can now duplicate any custom report that you've created.
- When viewing your list of reports, click the settings icon and then "Duplicate Report". A copy of the specified report will appear that you can then modify / rename.
-
5) Export File Request Comments:
- Within a specific File Request, you can now export all comments.
- We also now surface context around comments in the File Request view, including: Count of Comments, Last Comment At, Last Comment Author.
- To export all comments, you can go to Options -> Export Comments.

✨ Enhancements
1) View Additional Contacts on the dashboard:
When viewing contacts/speakers, you can now show a field called "Additional Contacts". This will surface a list of all additional contacts assigned to the given contact listed in a dashboard. You can include this field in exports as well as filter against it (e.g. Show me all contacts who do not have an additional contact).
-
2) Studio Permission:
There is a new Permission that allows you to control who can see Sessionboard Studio within your event.
-
3) Add a specific order to your Tracks:
You can now control what order your Session Tracks will show in. By default, we will order them alphabetically.
-
4) Additional Contacts are now added as CCs:
When you send emails to your contacts and include Additional Contacts, those Additional Contacts will now be added as CC's on the email to the contact they belong to. Previously, the Additional Contacts would receive their own versions of the email. -
5) Cloned events retain custom reports:
When our team clones an event for you, you now have the option to copy over Custom Reports from your original event.--
