Staying current: the What's New feed

Where every shipped feature and improvement shows up, how to check what you've missed, and the weekly What's new email.

Current ships continuously, and every user-visible change is logged in one place. No guessing whether a feature is actually live yet.

Where to find it

  • The sparkle icon in the top bar opens a quick popover with the most recent entries, grouped by date.
  • A small dot lights up on the sparkle icon when there are entries you haven't seen yet, and clears the moment you open the popover.
  • "View all" from the popover (or the What's New page directly) shows the complete history, newest first, with a filter for Features or Improvements.
  • Many entries carry a Read more link that opens the Help Center article explaining the change.
  • A big launch is labelled Major release in pink and sits at the top of its day.
  • When an entry answers a request from the feature board, it shows how many teams asked for it.

Each entry is a short headline and a plain-language line: what changed and why it helps you, not an engineering changelog. Entries are tagged as a feature or an improvement so you can filter to just what you care about. Small bug fixes are not listed; a fix earns an entry only when it changes how you use something.

Note
"Seen" is per browser
The unread marker is tracked locally on the device you're using, not synced across devices. If you check What's New on your phone and then open Current on your laptop, the dot may reappear there. That's expected, not a bug.

The "new version is available" banner

You no longer have to remember to refresh. The moment a new version ships, a banner appears at the top of the app (and at the top of the client portal) telling you a new version is available, with a Refresh button. Click Refresh and you come right back to the exact page you were on, now running the newest version; for staff, this What's New feed then opens once on its own so you can see what changed. The banner can't be dismissed on purpose: running an old version against the updated service can cause confusing behavior, so Refresh is the intended (and only) way past it. It usually appears within a few minutes of an update going live, and sooner if you switch back to a tab you'd left open.

The weekly What's new email

Once a week, on Tuesday, Current emails a short round-up of what shipped: the main features with a screenshot each and a link to the article that explains them, plus a few smaller improvements. A Major release always leads. If nothing shipped that week, no email goes out. Every copy carries an unsubscribe link at the bottom.

Release cadence

Current doesn't run on a fixed release-train schedule. Updates ship as they're ready, sometimes several in a single day. The What's New feed is the reliable way to know what's actually live right now, rather than assuming a feature exists because you heard about it.

Tip
Want something that isn't there yet?
Post it on the feature board, or vote for one someone already posted, from Ideas and requests on the Help Center home. When a request ships, everyone who voted for it hears about it. See "Suggest a feature and vote on ideas".
