We've been heads-down on a batch of updates to Client Portal, and they're nearly ready to go. Nothing has been rebuilt from scratch (your portals will look familiar) but a lot of the small friction points have been ironed out.
Here's a quick summary of what's changed:
A refreshed portal design
The layout is the same, but we've improved the typography and readability throughout, updated the menu, and added the option to include a subheading under each phase title.
More information on module cards
Modules now show due dates, completion status, file counts, and comment counts directly on the card - so clients can see what's going on without having to click into everything.
Better context inside modules
You can now add optional text above and/or below any module. Useful for telling clients exactly what they need to upload, or giving a bit of context before they download something.
Clearer file uploads
We redesigned the upload area so it's more obvious when a file has gone through successfully - a small change that should save a few "did my upload work?" messages.
Overhauled content pages
Content pages now support more blocks — pull quotes, call-outs, tables, image galleries - and they pick up your portal colours automatically. They just look a lot better.
Restyled comments
Replies now collapse into drop-downs, making comment threads much easier to scan when things get busy.
The update is in testing now. If you'd like early access and are happy to test on a staging site, get in touch.
