Hey Sleekplan Fam! ๐ We're back with some exciting updates that are sure to level up your Sleekplan experience. From custom file uploads to revamped roadmap views and more, we've been hard at work to bring you the tools you need.
Expanded File Type Support: Now you can upload way more file types than before! No need to stress about file formats - whether it's PDFs, videos, text files, or anything else, Sleekplan's got your back. Simply tweak the list of allowed file types: Just hit up Settings > General > Uploads and add your fave extensions separated by commas or learn more on how to set up custom file types.
We're stepping up our game with the roadmap view! Now, besides the usual status-based view, you can also peep at Quarter and Month-based roadmaps. Set ETA dates on your posts and see them laid out neatly. This feature ain't just for the admin squad - it's available for the dashboard and frontend.
No more secrets! You can now let end-users see those internal tags. Decide if they can just filter by custom tags or assign them to new posts too.
That's all for now - Stay tuned, stay Sleek!โ๏ธ
We're excited to introduce a set of powerful enhancements that will transform how you interact with the Sleekplan widget. Say hello to a widget that's more user-focused, intuitive, and tailored to your unique needs!
Say goodbye to the tiny widget window! We've revamped the way you view changelog posts within the widget and announcements. Now, when you click on a post, it gracefully expands into a more reader-friendly format with a larger display. Plus, we've stripped away any distracting brand colors to keep it clean and distraction-free, allowing users to immerse themselves in the content.
We've tackled a common pain point head-on. No more worrying about popups and in-app announcements disappearing after a single page change. This is especially crucial for power users who navigate swiftly through non-SPAs. Notifications will now remain active until users consciously hit the "close" button or take the specific action related to the popup (like opening a post from an announcement popup).
We've taken your love for the action screen to heart and made it even more user-friendly. Packed with handy action items, the action screen streamlines your widget experience. And here's the icing on the cake: for "Open Posts" and "Open Changelog" actions, we've introduced the "Extended Preview" option. Now, you can directly access a concise list of entries without the need to open the action, saving your users' time and clicks.
Say goodbye to the one-size-fits-all approach! We understand the importance of delivering a personalized experience, and that's why we've introduced "Segmentation for Action Screens". Now, you have the power to finely tune your widget's behavior, ensuring that the right actions are presented to the right users.
Sleekplan got packed with new features, bug fixes, and improvements to enhance your feedback and collaboration experience.
Experience a sleeker and more intuitive changelog overview in our admin interface. Your updates are now neatly organized for improved clarity. Plus, we've made managing "draft" posts a breeze by displaying them prominently at the top of your list.
Introducing new API endpoints to elevate your customer satisfaction and NPS tracking.
Check out our API Docs for more information!
No more hunting for comments! If you've been mentioned in a comment, simply follow the direct link to instantly load and engage with it. Say goodbye to endless scrolling in search of that specific comment.
Our changelog reactions have received a makeover! They now seamlessly integrate with our design, providing a more visually appealing experience. Plus, we've replaced the comment input with a spacious text field, allowing your users to express themselves freely.
We've given our email templates a complete facelift, with fresh copy and captivating designs for both admin and user emails. If you've made any customizations to your email templates, ensure they are compatible with our new designs.
1. Better Open Graph Images: Our open graph images for the standalone page have been refined for a more appealing and engaging appearance when shared on social media and other platforms.
2. Session Functionality: We've resolved a pesky session bug, ensuring smooth widget functionality even during local development and testing.
3. Jira Integration: Our Jira integration has received an upgrade - Now you can expect seamless collaboration between Sleekplan and Jira, as we've added the ability to add comments when a post is created from - or linked to - a post on Sleekplan.
4. Edit Action Items: Goodbye, delete-and-recreate! We've listened to your feedback and added an edit button for action items. This improvement makes it easier than ever to refine and modify your action items without the need for cumbersome workarounds.
5. SEO Enhancements: We've significantly improved the SEO of the standalone website, making its content more accessible and readable for web crawling bots.
6. Wildcard Domains Support: Now, you can use wildcard (*)
for domains, not just in the URL part. This enhancement provides greater flexibility in defining which domains the Sleekplan widget should be active on.
7. Translation Updates: We've added some missing translations to ensure a more comprehensive and user-friendly experience for your international user base.
We value your feedback, and it plays a crucial role in shaping Sleekplan's future. Here is some of the feedback that contributed to this release:
Exciting news ๐ Our feedback list just got an upgrade that will take your feedback management to the next level! Check out our new 3-column view that has all the features you need right at your fingertips, no more jumping back and forth between pages.
With the first column displaying a list of all feedback posts, you can easily get an overview of the feedback you've received and simply navigate between different posts - exactly as before. The second shows the feedback in detail with the full title, text, KPIs, and comments section. This new comprehensive view of the feedback will give you a deeper understanding of each post, allowing you to respond more effectively.
And last but not least, the third column allows you to change settings, set owners, and perform other actions without ever leaving the view - so you can manage your feedback with greater efficiency and ease than ever before.
We understand that everyone has their own preferences, so we've included a toggle on the bottom that allows you to simply switch between the new 3-column view and the old list styled view. The choice is yours!
Let us know what you think! ๐
PS: The roadmap got a minor upgrade, too ๐คซ
Influenced by:
By bringing feedback and development together in one place, our Azure DevOps integration helps you build better products faster.
The Azure DevOps integration for Sleekplan is truly a game-changer for your feedback management process! Effortlessly connect feedback posts to new or existing Work items in Azure DevOps, all without ever having to leave the Sleekplan platform. This is a huge step forward in streamlining the feedback management process and making it more efficient than ever before.
Think about it, with this integration, you'll be able to keep track of all team, customer, and stakeholder feedback in one place, making it easy for your development team to turn that feedback into actionable Work items. No more manual data entry, no more going back and forth between different platforms, everything is right there at your fingertips.
This integration is not only convenient but it also improves the efficiency of your workflow and empowers your product team to make quick decisions based on user feedback. Furthermore, the integraten push status updates from Azure DevOps back to Sleekplan. This way, as soon as a change or update is made, a notification will be sent to subscribers or voter, ensuring that everyone is always in the loop and up-to-date on the latest developments. This feature makes it easy for you to keep your users informed and ensure that everyone is always on the same page.
It's a win-win situation for everyone involved.

Auto Subscribe: Improve communication and keep everyone up to date!
With the new "Auto Subscribe New Users" option, any new users who create an account on your feedback baord will automatically be subscribed to receive changelog updates and notifications from you. This will help ensure that all of your users are kept informed about important updates, new features, or announcements. To manage their subscription preferences, users can simply visit their account settings and adjust their notification settings as desired. Auto Subscribe Settings โ
RSS feed: Make it easier for users to stay up-tp-date!
We are happy to announce the addition of an RSS feed for the changelog. With this feature, users can now subscribe to receive updates to the changelog via their preferred RSS reader. This will allow your users to stay informed about new updates and changes to the platform in a way that is convenient for them.
To access the RSS feed, add /rss.xml to your changelog URL. I.e. https://demo.sleekplan.app/changelog/rss.xml
Today weโre thrilled to announce that we have added segmentation to changelog updates.
Show your users that you know their specific needs. Send custom changelog updates to different user groups. For instance, target free users differently to encourage them to upgrade, or send specific updates to different user-levels like Subscriber, Members or Admins.
Happy Friday y'all. We have some great news before you sign off for the weekend: The GitHub Integration has received an update, with some features you have been waiting for! As of today, GitHub integration can synchronize in both directions, from Sleekpan to Github and vice versa, on private an public repos!
To work correctly you may need to re-install the integration! Don't worry, already linked posts wonโt get lost!
Happy Monday! ๐ We have a few updates and bug fixes to share with you, to help kick off the new week. Let's start with a few improvements and features that we have shipped recently.
To prevent the loading of external libraries, we moved all external resources from rsms and unpkg.co to storage.sleekplan.co. No need to give permissions to other libraries.
Setting SSO-tokens for the standalone page got a security upgrade. You don't need to set tokens using an URL parameter. Now you can pass tokens by doing a POST request or set the token as a Bearer token. Read more on our single sign-on docs.
The $sleek SDK has been slightly reduced in size and also received two new methods - rebind()
to rebind data-attributes and shutdown()
to turn off the widget and remove all HTML elements. Learn more about these two methods on our developer docs.
Until now, sending invitations to team members was a rather intransparent process - This is now a thing of the past! Pending invitations are now displayed on the team page and can even be canceled so that you always have an accurate overview of your pending invitations!
A new option to use separators has been implemented in the Changelog. Separator helps you to visually separate various parts of your release notes. This is useful for such cases when parts of a document are not connected and should differ e.g. by the type of information (Bug fixes, Features..).
To add a division separator you need to use the markdown syntax ---
Improved personal notifications will help you to stay up to date with your feedback community. Easily check new, unread and unopened notifications ๐
We have secretly introduced a few new features. Of course, we do not want you to miss out on these improvements. So here we go:
โก๏ธ Importer: Import feedback posts, user accounts and, changelog updates via CSV file or directly from supported systems
๐จ Designer: A completely new experience when setting up your widget or standalone website. With the designer, you now get a direct preview of your current changes.
๐ Post stats: Advanced post statistics are now visible above each post (Starter or Business plan required).
Wanna guide your users to send structured feedback? Feedback templates can help you with that! Templates allow you to set a predefined text for each category that will be inserted on the post creation form.
We have improved the community moderation. From now on you can moderate comments as well as posts to keep your feedback community clean.
Bad Words List: In addition, we have introduced a bad words list. The list simplifies the moderation for you. You can define comma-separated words that trigger moderation. Other comments and posts will be approved instantly. This saves you the work of moderating every single post.
Quick Moderation Feed: While we are at it: Yes ๐! Finally, there is a simple way to moderate posts & comments. If you have enabled moderation in the settings, a new option will be available from your dashboard sidebar - a quick overview of all contributions that need to be moderated.
Hey y'all! ๐
Easter is over and the Easter-๐ฐ has come up with a cool new feature: Managing different audiences from one board is getting even better with segmentation! Now you can specifiy a segment for each category. This means: Only users matching a specified segment will be able to see posts, submit suggestions or receive changelog updates for a category. Email notifications for the changelog will only go out to subscibers matching a segment. With this, you can now serve different user groups via one board and display different content for each ๐ Amazing, isn't it?
If you haven't set up an user segment yet -> Get started here!
Sometimes you write a comment that is important! You may not want to send notifications limited to subscribers. For this purpose, we have introduced two new options for @mentions: @all and @team
Both mentions - @all and @team - are restricted to team members only, so you can relax.. none of your users will spam the discussion with @all mentions! ๐
๐ SORT COMMENTS
Easily sort comments by most recent and oldest. The new sorting function makes it easier to keep up with long and rambling discussions.
๐ CUSTOM HTML
Add custom HTML to the standalone website (i.e. to include your own website header)
๐ FEEBACK POST EXCERPT
Option to show a short excerpt on the feedback list. We have introduced a new option that allows you to display a short paragraph below the title - users can quickly find out what the post is about.
๐ ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Organizational structure for enterprises. Manage larger teams and different workspaces easily via an organizational structure.
โข Some minor design improvements for standalone websites

This feature is available starting from the Business plan.
Possibly you have already seen them in your comments section. Likes are a great way for you and your users to leave lightweight feedback. Likes can act as a nice and easy way to see if users agree with a comment or opinion. Of course, you have the option to turn off likes on your board at any time. Go to Settings > General > Feedback.
Let us know what you think about this update.
Show your users that you are working on their feedback. Don't just write software news, but refer directly to the feedback that led to the developments. This new feature makes it easy for your users to understand which requests are related to new updates.
How does it work?

You asked, and we delivered!
So we are happy to announce that the Sleekplan Integration for ClickUp is finally available. Create new ClickUp tasks from every feedback post or link posts with existing tasks on ClickUp. Great, isn't it?
But there's even more: You can easily keep status updates in sync between your ClickUp task and linked Sleekplan post. So you can keep everyone in the know and notify subscribed users and upvoter if you set a task to "completed".
Check out our help docs to get more info about the new ClickUp Integration.
Sleekplan comes with a default email layout and contents. But what's about using your own?
Create custom email templates & layouts!: We have shipped an update to our email service, that allows you not only to customize the layout of the email, but also to change the content according to your requirements. So that your emails fit in your brands' tone and style!
You can modify any of Sleekplan's customer-facing pre-made templates. Try it here: Settings > Email > Templates (Business Plan required)
We're happy to announce one of the biggest updates to the widget within the last months. First, it is now possible to set a custom home screen for your board. You can choose a start screen from the following options:
However, you can do even more with your home using your in-app widget:
Serve your website visitors and customers needs with an advanced home experience. You can set up quick actions for different operations. You could think of something like sending suggestions or bugs to your board, but even additional options: For example a link to your help docs or support - everything is possible!
Adding those actions to your home screen helps visitors and customers find what theyโre looking for quickly - so they can do more than giving feedback.
To customize your Boards' home, go to your Widget & Website settings and select "Home screen"
With the Sleekplan for Jira integration, you can create new Issues or link existing Issues to feedback posts on your public board and keep the status in sync.
Link Posts to existing or new Issues
You can link user submissions, feedback and suggestions to existing issues in Jira or create a new issue directly from the admin dashbaord.
Keep statuses in Sync with Jira
Once you linked a feedback post to a Jira issue, Sleekplan automatically keeps the status in sync and notify users about status updates.
Displaying popup only on specific pages
We added an option to show popups only when the user is in/ not in the defined set of URLs. The โCurrent Page / URLโ Campaign rule is perfect if you want to show the campaign only to those visitors who are browsing (or not browsing) a specific page on your site currently.
Create different popups for different targeting groups
Create multiple popups based on different targeting groups, urls, etc. with specific messages.
We have completely rebuilt our admin dashboard with new. Now you have the chance to get all the important KPIs in one easy view. Plus, we have the percentage trend compared to the previous period in place.
What's New?
Go off and check your metrics ๐
We have some exciting news! Sleekplan NPS has been officially launched ๐ This module is part of all paid plans, starting from "Starter"-Plan.
The Net Promoter Score can be used to measure user satisfaction and get real user feedback. NPS is often used by customer support teams, product managers, marketing professionals, and others to improve their products and services. It is an effective metric size where the level of customer satisfaction is measured on a scale of 1-10.
With NPS we extend customer satisfaction (CSAT) with another great solution.
What does it mean to you?
Simply navigate to Settings > General and activate the NPS module to get started.
We're excited to see your feedback!
Hi everyone! We have received a whole bunch of feedback asking us to improve the Standalone page experience. So here we go: We are glad to announce that we've just launched a new - completely revised - design for the Standalone page and also added more customisation options ๐
