πŸ’― Column Summaries

Column summaries provide a quick overview of your data with metrics tailored to each column. Count folders, tasks, products, or versions, view status breakdowns, calculate averages for numeric fields, or identify missing values such as unassigned shotsβ€”all directly from the table.

πŸ”„ Automated Status Updates

Eliminate manual tracking. This update allows for automated status synchronization across folders, tasks, and versions based on predefined triggers. For example, when a version is approved, the parent task status can automatically advance to the next status.

πŸ”’ Project Setting Pinning

Maintain consistency from day one. You can now automatically create project-specific overrides for specified settings during project creation. This effectively "pins" your configuration, ensuring project-level settings remain stable even if studio-wide values change later.

βœ… Guest Approvals and Request Changes

Guests, whether they're clients, stakeholders, or directors, can now approve versions and request changes with ease. We've redesigned the version feed panel to reduce complexity and make the review process more streamlined and accessible.

When a review is submitted, it appears in the activity feed, making it easy to see who has responded and who you're still waiting on. Review activity also triggers notifications, ensuring teams stay informed as feedback and approvals come in.

βž• Improved review session building

Creating review sessions is now much simpler. We've reorganized the right-click menu to make common review actions easier to find and access.

New options include:

  • Adding clips directly to a review session

  • Opening multiple clips in a review

  • Creating a new review session from selected clips

These actions are available throughout AYON, including Folders, Tasks, and Versions.

Add a task's version to a review session by right clicking on the select tasks and going to the review menu where you can: - Open the clips in a new review - Create a new session with the clips - Add the clips to an existing review session

Server

This update brings some great new features, lots of quality of life enhancements and tons of (28) fixes. Here is everything we did from 1.15.2-1.15.7.

🏎️ Huge Performance Improvements

As everyone’s projects get bigger with more data published we found some bottlenecks that were slowing some things down. This was especially obvious when dealing with real production with almost a MILLION versions 🀯

There have been lots of optimisations to make the server significantly faster and more efficient. This should make everyday use of AYON faster and smoother for everyone.

πŸ’¬ Table Latest Comments

You can now see the 5 latest comments on an entity directly in the table. This makes sifting through large amounts of comments a lot faster, without ever having to open the details panel.

The activity feed now has an advanced filter bar so you can find exactly the comment you were looking for faster. Search for text in a comment or filter by exact matches like authors, checklists or date published.

The Search Filter bar has also got a refreshed design to make searching more initiative.

Activity feed advanced filter bar with token-based search filters for author, comment text, and content type. Expanded filter menu provides additional criteria including versions, updates, checklists, attachments, categories, and posted date, enabling precise filtering and discovery of activity feed entries.

Addon

Based on studio feedback, we have redesigned how participants enter a review session.

Previously, users were met with an immediate dialog prompt asking them to sync, which often confused external vendors who just wanted to browse playlists in their own time.

Now, everyone joins completely de-synced by default and a non-intrusive popup notification will cleanly alert users if a live sync is underway.

πŸ› οΈ Bugfixes

  • If a users computer clock was out of sync it would break the ability to sync

  • Fix an issue with versions published by old deleted users
