What's Changed
[New Features] Privacy & Advanced Options for Consent Forms
We’ve introduced new Privacy & Advanced Options in Consent approval forms, giving recipients greater control over their personal data and how it’s used.
1. Remain Anonymous
Recipients can now choose to stay anonymous when submitting a Consent form.
Users can opt out of providing personal details at the start of the flow
A Recognition profile will still be created, but:
It will use a unique anonymous ID instead of a name
It will include a “remain anonymous” metadata tag
Ensures privacy while maintaining secure tracking and administration

2. Skip Photo Capture
You can now allow recipients to complete consent without submitting a photo.
Ideal for privacy-sensitive or low-visual use cases
When enabled, users can:
Skip photo capture entirely
Proceed with consent using alternative identification methods
Matching options include:
Match profile using ID only (manual matching required)
Use photo to match appearances (if a photo is provided, manual matching still required)
If this option is disabled, photo capture remains mandatory.

3. Facial Recognition Opt In/Out
Recipients now have control over whether their photo can be used for Facial Recognition Technology (FRT).
After submitting a photo, users can choose to opt in or opt out
If opted in:
A facial recognition vector is generated
Enables identification across new and existing assets in the HIVO library
If opted out:
The photo is stored with the consent form
No recognition vector is created
The profile will:
Have Recognition disabled
Include a “frt opt out” metadata tag

These enhancements help you build more privacy-first, flexible consent workflows, while ensuring compliance and user trust.
[New Feature] External Template Approval - Centralized design template management
Following the launch of the External Approval feature, we have introduced key updates to help Admins easily manage shared links while providing a more professional viewing experience for external partners.
🔹 What’s new?
"Shared Templates" Management Tab: A new Shared Templates tab has been added to the Links section. From here, you can:
Manage and track all active external template links.
Monitor view status, expiration dates, and revoke access if necessary.

[Enhancements] Support Tickets Tab
We’ve rolled out a series of improvements to the Tickets tab in the Support section to make ticket management faster, clearer, and more flexible.
1. Improved Search & Filtering
Search tickets by keyword (ticket name not ticket ID)
New filters available:
User
Status (supports selecting multiple statuses)
Date
2. Ticket List Enhancements
Added Ticket ID column for easier reference and tracking
Improved sorting and filtering experience:
Default sorting can prioritize newest tickets first
Better visibility of active tickets (e.g. In Progress, Submitted)
Added new columns:
Description (preview in one line)
Last Modified (for monitoring updates)
Improved usability:
Ticket rows are now more intuitive to interact with (easier access to details)
Reduced reliance on less intuitive edit icons

3. Ticket Detail Updates
New capabilities:
Change ticket status directly
Add evidence/attachments (including file uploads, not just URLs)
Clickable asset links to quickly open related assets

These updates aim to streamline ticket workflows and provide better visibility into support requests.
[Enhancements] Adjustable Column Widths in Table Element (Template Editor)
We’ve added more flexibility to table layouts in the Template Editor.
🔹 Key Features
You can now resize table column widths directly when select a table in editor.
Easily adjust specific columns (e.g. make the second column wider) to better fit your content and layout needs.
🔹 Why it matters
Greater control over table formatting
Improved alignment with design expectations (e.g. matching layouts from tools like InDesign)

[Improvements] Export "Public CDN URLs" by CSV
Resolved an issue where exporting a CSV file from the “PUBLIC CDN URLS” tab could result in an empty file
CSV exports from this tab now correctly include all expected data
