Distributed teams are the “new normal” temporarily, but we think the ripples of our current crisis will have a lasting impact on how we work going forward. That’s why our 🌷Spring 2020 Update 🌷is focused on making the platform even easier to stay connected, collaborate, and foster community.
Brightidea's most recent software release took effect on Thursday, April 23rd 2020, 2:00 PM PDT.
For an overview of our Spring 2020 Update, see our blog post here. The following updates and improvements have been made:
Communities Updates
Our Community widgets are now separate from Enterprise widgets. No longer will editing a Community widget affect how it displays on Enterprise pages (and vice-versa).

Mobile Updates
We are continuing to improve our Mobile App with new features. Our latest updates include the ability to complete Review Action Items and the ability to Edit Ideas.
Evaluators can now Edit Idea attributes from their Mobile Action Item (only if idea editing has been enabled for the Step).

New Commenting UI (Beta)
Users can now see a new and improved Commenting interface! We updated the colors and layout so that it is easier to recognize which Users are commenting and which comments have a lot of engagement. We also made the commenting experience more consistent across different views.

Owner Editing and Owner History
Admins now have better flexibility and transparency with editing and tracking of Idea Owners. Admins can edit owners directly from the Submission. Meanwhile, the History tab of each Submission will include previous Owners and which User made the change.
Reminder: As part of the Winter 2019 Product Enhancement, the Owner field can now be enabled for any Initiative.
