Before we yule-log off
We heard you’ve been good this year, so here’s a few stocking fillers.
November
Winter clean-up
A round-up of polish across the editor—smoother navigation, cleaner layouts, and a bunch of bug fixes to keep everything running as it should.
October
New suggested filters for folder blocks
A few new improvements have been brewing—we’ve rolled out a fresh batch of updates, including Suggested Filters, which makes finding the right assets a whole lot smoother.
Suggested Filters turn simple tags into smart shortcuts that help your users filter, focus, and find exactly what they’re looking for.
September
Smarter sections and new layout templates
This month’s update includes new tricks for sections, plus a bunch of new layout templates.
We’ve taught sections a few new tricks this month. You can now lock them in place so they don’t budge, and we’ve added a handy shortcut for switching up the background color.
These pre-designed layouts make it easy to pull a page together in minutes. Simply drop in your content and share, without needing to overthink the structure.
August
Wrapping up summer
This month was mostly about tightening things up—a few helpful fixes, a bit of backend housekeeping, and getting everything shipshape for what’s coming next.
July
New logo Delivery pack & other improvements
This month’s update includes a new template pack, plus the usual round of tweaks, fixes, and behind-the-scenes polish.
This month, we’ve put together a curated pack of templates to make logo delivery and documentation a whole lot easier, from variations and do’s and don’ts to sizing and download options.
June
Manage access with Share Links
Introducing share links, plus a bunch of other updates that have kept us busy over the past month.
With Share Links, you can create a branded space for sharing pages or assets, and set up expiry dates and passwords that you can tweak, update or turn off whenever you like.
May
Easy Access Management
This month, we’ve made Access Management as easy as it should be.
Managing who can see your brand assets is simple in Niice. With the new Access Manager, you have full visibility over who can access what across your entire site, and easily make adjustments as your brand grows—without the usual headaches.
We now support Directory Sync and SCIM Groups (System for Cross-domain Identity Management). That’s the technical way of saying your IT folks can manage all your users and groups directly from your Single Sign-On provider, so they don’t have to worry about keeping track. Trust us, those nerds are going to thank you.
April
New S3 Integration & Smarter Templates
Spring is here! Last month on Niice, we made it possible to sync assets to your Amazon S3 bucket, and tidied up the template manager, making it easy for admins to organise, edit and bookmark hub templates.
Our new AWS integration allows you to automatically save your brand assets to one or more S3 buckets, keeping everything in sync without extra legwork.
Your new template manager makes it easy to organise and edit all of the templates available to your team. Preview, update, and bookmark them so they're always to hand, and share a direct link whenever you need to.
March
Spring Cleaning
This month, we rolled up our sleeves for a touch of Spring cleaning. The admin settings got a refresh, we tidied up the internal page link selector, hooked up in-line uploads to the upload manager, and more.
This month we’ve refreshed the admin settings in the toolbar, so admins now have handy shortcuts to templates, themes, people management and analytics all in one place—just a little Spring cleaning to keep things neat and tidy 🧹
We’ve given the internal link selector some much-needed love, making it easier to find the page you’re looking for within your site structure.
February
Unlimited custom themes
This month, we’ve made it easier than ever to create and manage your brand across all your pages. We’ve also rolled out several improvements, including performance boosts, a cleaner UI on admin pages, and more.
You can now create reusable type styles (as many as you need) that can be applied all across your sites, and updated in one place. While in edit mode, you can quickly switch between your type styles inline, making it easy to apply your brand on the fly.
