January 2023 Updates

Important Changes

• Add placeholder content to account public pages in place of the Contact Us button — for unauthenticated users, it will say Login to contact and for members of accounts, it will say You are a member of this account.
• Link communities to public account pages in project action when a project has Labels, meaning when a Label is applied to a Project by a community the shared by {community name} is now a link to the public account page for those communities.
• Adding a Project message now creates an action notification to the relevant accounts.
• The content for the Project message notification was updated from the generic ‘Project has a new message’, which now includes a truncated title of the Project.
• Added Project creator name to “creator” in Project Actions so it now displays Created — Creator Name | Account.
• Added names to the Project activity of who did the action.
• Hyperlinked contributors and notified communities to public pages on the Project Action page.
• Added members’ emails to members’ cards that only admins can see.
• Make non-community-created Projects, where the community has added a Label, appear on the community public page.
• Set up backend to delete instances of project archive on project deletion.
• Adjust public project view to exclude actions besides Share and Download.

Other Changes

• Misc content and UI updates for the Project Actions page and Community Notes.
• Project activity was not working right for Labels being added and removed.
• Member request cards and member invites now have the user’s email visible to only admins of an account.
• Project messages: changed to Project comments.
•  Change discoverable to contributor view in places where it wasn’t changed yet.
• Adjust Project activity when Labels have already been applied to not display ‘Notices have been removed’ as more Labels are added/removed.
