Here we come, introducing several new features and enhancements! If you're dealing with hidden elements on your website, our new functionalities make it easier than ever to create, track, and manage tasks.

Webvizio now allows you to create tasks on any website element, including hidden ones like mobile hamburger menus, slider slides, and hidden tabs. Tasks on hidden elements and visible elements that change or are removed will have a gray task marker if Webvizio cannot locate or identify them as hidden.

If you open a task with a gray marker or it doesn't appear, you can still see where the task was created and how the site looked using two features:

Task Screenshot

Webvizio automatically takes a screenshot of the area when a task is created. This lets you see the exact position of the task marker and the surrounding site area. Previously, viewing hidden elements on screenshots required an extension, but now it's available without one. Enjoy!

Show Marker

Webvizio introduces a new feature called "Show marker." When a task is created, Webvizio automatically captures the state of the page. By clicking this option, Webvizio will restore the page to its state at the time the task was created, including the placement of the task marker.

This mode essentially serves as a version history of the page, with each task in Webvizio automatically including a snapshot of the page at the time of task creation.

Note: "Show Marker" is not available on the Free Forever plan, but you can use screenshots to find the marker's position.

We've reworked the caching system for websites displayed in Webvizio. If you work in Default mode (without the script, Chrome extension, or WordPress plugin), pages will load much faster upon reopening.

To clear the cache, use the refresh button in the upper right corner. This button is available to all users. Account Owners and Project Managers can fully refresh project pages, while users with roles below Project Manager will clear the browser cache for that project.

Remember!

The best way to avoid display issues and bugs is to install our dedicated Website Script, WordPress Plugin, or Google Chrome Extension.

If you are using the WordPress plugin to access new features, please download the latest version from the Webvizio WordPress Plugin page. Then, replace the plugin with the latest version from the archive.

We've got some great news to share about Webvizio that we think you'll love. Our latest update brings some awesome improvements that will make your experience smoother and more efficient than ever before.

Improved Application Performance

We've worked hard behind the scenes to boost the loading speeds of Webvizio pages.

Depending on factors such as the complexity of the page, the number of projects and tasks, and your internet speed, you can expect loading speeds to be boosted by an impressive 25% to a whopping 500%! 🤩

This means smoother navigation, quicker access to project details, and a more responsive user interface.

Additional Enhancements

Alongside performance improvements, we've introduced several new features aimed at making your workflow even more efficient:

1. Assigned to You Task Count Visibility: Now, users can easily track the number of tasks assigned to them within every project directly from the dashboard. A special icon with a counter is now placed next to the overall tasks counter and urgent tasks counter. This transparency helps task executors stay updated on new tasks assigned to them, ensuring they are always aware of their workload and can manage their responsibilities efficiently.

2. Task Sorting by Update Date: Sorting tasks based on their last update date is now possible, allowing you to prioritize and focus on the most recent developments within your projects effortlessly.

3. Improved UX For Changing Task Status: We've improved the task status update process within the interface, thanks to the reasonable request of our user. Now, when you change the status of a task, you remain on the same tab, eliminating unnecessary navigation and saving you valuable time. This feature is especially useful for those who need to change task statuses in bulk, making the process more efficient and streamlined.

Your Ideas in Action!

The third feature was requested less than a week ago by one of our Facebook Community members. We love hearing from you and making Webvizio even more tailored to your needs!

What's Next?

While this update primarily focuses on enhancing the performance of the Webvizio interface, we're committed to further optimizing site loading speeds within Webvizio itself in future updates. Our goal is to continually improve your experience and ensure Webvizio remains your go-to platform for seamless project management.

The beta release of our highly anticipated WordPress plugin is out! This update is in response to numerous requests from our valued users, and we couldn’t wait any longer to share it with you. The plugin is designed to enhance your Webvizio experience, making it more seamless and efficient when working with WordPress-based websites.

Key Benefits

1. Accurate Content Display: The plugin ensures that your site content is displayed correctly within Webvizio. It addresses common issues like incorrect display or missing page elements, providing a professional and seamless viewing experience.

2. Access to Password-Protected Pages: With the new plugin, you can work efficiently with hidden or password-protected pages on your website. This feature makes collaboration smooth and convenient, even on hidden pages.

3. Increased Loading Speed: By directly utilizing your website’s resources, the plugin significantly boosts tab loading speeds. This means faster and more efficient navigation within Webvizio, as the plugin leverages your site's inherent performance.

Why Beta?

The plugin is currently in beta, awaiting official release in the WordPress catalog. However, due to high demand, we decided to share it early for your convenience. We want you to enjoy the enhanced experience of using Webvizio with this powerful tool right away.

For more information on installation and setup, please refer to our detailed guide on installing the plugin.

This plugin will significantly enhance your Webvizio experience, making your WordPress site management more effective and enjoyable. We look forward to your feedback and are here to assist with any questions.

Bonus!

We also launched a new feature based on user feedback and RoadMap voting – the ability to refresh a project invitation link with a single click! This request was driven by the need to revoke access for people who have the old link without having to create a brand-new project. You can now easily generate a new sharing link for existing projects by clicking a dedicated button.

This feature ensures that users removed from the project can no longer rejoin using the old invitation link. It provides enhanced security and better control over project access.

Anchor Link Handling:

No more unnecessary tabs! Clicking on anchor links in Browser Mode won't open a separate tab anymore, as it does for external links.

Effortless Cache Clearing:

Simply click the "Refresh Project" button at the top right corner of your project page to refresh a project. The button is now available for all users. In script or extension mode, it also ensures instant cache clearing. Finally, your customers can easily refresh projects and see the latest updates, even if their browser caches the old version.
