What's Changed
[Inprovement] Smart Compare for External Approval
The Smart Compare feature has now been added to the External Approval screen, delivering a comparison experience similar to Internal Approval and making it easier for external users to inspect and contrast differences between asset versions.
🔹 What’s New?
Native Smart Compare support directly within External Approval.
Applies the same experience and display behavior as Compare Mode in Internal Approval.
Allows users to select versions for comparison and use Smart Compare to view differences between them.
This update makes the version review process in External Approval more intuitive and convenient, while ensuring a consistent experience across both Internal and External Approval.
Improved Reminder Delivery in Approvals
The Manual Reminder feature in Approvals has been updated to ensure notifications are delivered accurately to the selected recipients.
🔹 Previously, when sending a reminder to a specific Approver or Reviewer, the notification might also be sent to Approval Owners.
🔹 Following this update, Manual Reminders are sent strictly to the selected Approver/Reviewer, ensuring targeted communication and preventing unnecessary notifications.
[New Feature] Synchronize Expired or Deleted asset status with Drupal
Previously, images that were deleted or expired in HIVO could still be displayed on Drupal and the website.
🔹 What’s New?
This new feature improves asset status synchronization between HIVO and Drupal by:
Sending notifications when assets in HIVO expire.
Supporting CDN Placeholder configuration for expired assets based on the Client Profile.
As a result, invalid assets in HIVO will no longer be displayed on the website unintentionally.
👉 Note: Editing Warning Indicator is an Additional Feature and must be enabled by a Client Admin in Settings. If your organization is unable to enable it, please contact the HIVO Support team.
[New Feature] Open Google documents directly from HIVO
When saving documents from Google Docs, Google Slides, or Google Sheets to HIVO via the HIVO Connector, users can now open the original Google document more easily.
🔹 What’s New?
This update adds an "Open in Google" button, allowing direct access to the document on Google right from the saved asset in HIVO, without needing to search for it manually.
This feature makes switching between HIVO and Google Workspace faster and more convenient.
👉 Note: We’re currently working on adding previews for assets for Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides save from HIVO Connector. This enhancement will make it easier to visually identify and distinguish Google Workspace assets when browsing them in HIVO.
