12. Republish Icon

At times a post may not be published due to bad html or an image related issue. In this case the system will show an error status in the content section. We have now added a 'Republish' icon so that you are able to attempt to publish it another time. However, in this case it is important to correct the error before doing so otherwise it will return the post the same way. The first thing that you should do is un-check the box beside 'Upload Images to Blog When Saving'. This can be found in the advanced options below the editor. If that does not fix the error then please contact support prior to republishing.

Additional Updates:

21. When you save an article it is now automatically uploaded to your WordPress blog as a draft.

22. You are now able to click on a date in the calendar, which instantly opens the 'New Task' window.

23. Ability to re-assign an existing task to another team member.

24. You are no longer required to add content to a task in order to create it.

25. You are now able to re-save a task created in the past.

26. We have removed the option to save or publish to draft as all posts are now automatically uploaded to your WordPress blog as a draft when you click the save button.

27. We have removed the 'Sequences' tab from the settings in order to have all processes related sequences housed under the 'Amplify' tab. This way you are able to create new sequences, edit existing sequences, build your snippets, and publish all in one area.

28. The 'Save', 'Save & Close' and 'Publish' buttons are now located in a separate panel below the left and right columns.

29. A scrollbar has been added to the 'Amplify' tab for better sequence management.

30. You are now able to modify any sequence as needed without changing the original template. This means that you can add or delete snippet fields or change the posting times to  customize to your specific needs. You can do this when curating directly to a sequence and also when adding snippets from the editor to a sequence. However, if you do click on the 'Save Template' button it will change the template, but if you want to keep the modified sequence then save or publish when you are finished with the changes.

31. The 'Finish' button has been changed to 'Save Template' in the 'Amplify' tab to make it clearer that you are in fact changing the template itself when you click on that. When you are finished with a sequence click on the 'Save' button if you do not want any changes made to the original template.

32. You will now only see the 'Save Template' button if you have made a change to the template itself. At that point you will have to decide whether or not you want to change the original template.

33. You are now able to save a sequence with empty snippet fields. This allows you to save your work without completing the entire sequence.

34. If you attempt to publish a snippet with a sequence containing empty fields a popup window will appear asking you to fill the fields. This ensures that you do not accidentally publish a sequence with an empty field or a naked URL.

35. If you try to leave the 'Compose' area with unsaved work you will now be alerted with a popup warning prompting you to save your work.
