ContentStudio changelog contentstudio.io

On the road to becoming the most effective social media management platform for you, on both the web and on mobile, we have introduced exciting new features on our ContentStudio mobile app! These are as follows:

1. Google My Business (GMB) support

Google My Business is one of the most reliable mainstays for marketers to manage an online presence of their business. Google My Business is the best way to win the trust of your audience by bringing out your information to create a personalized relationship with them. This way, you'll be able to drive more potential customers toward your business.

That is why we have introduced GMB support on Android/iOS applications for more convenience! Now, you can easily schedule posts on the ContentStudio app! Select Post Type and the Button Label, and you’re ready to go!

2. Draft post support

We have added new functionality of draft posts. Compose a post and save it as a draft. You can always edit them to perfection and publish it at your convenience.

3. Composer "Hide from the client" and "Approval from team members"

We understand that it takes a lot of effort to come up with the perfect post. The key is in effort and consistency. While you’re working on coming up with the most amazing marketing campaign, in the meanwhile, you can hide the post from the client,

Once you have the final draft ready for review, you can unhide it for client approval.

On the flip side, your team might comprise of editors, publishers, and managers. You can select certain team members as approvers and assign them posts for review/ approval.

4. Planner - approve with comment

Many clients enjoy the option of approving or rejecting social media posts. To cater to this need, we have created a new role of “Approver”. You can add single or multiple approvers in your workspace and assign them social accounts. The approver can only see the Planner module of that particular workspace.

Let’s suppose you have some completed posts and want to send them for the client or internal approval. You can schedule a post to be reviewed. This will generate a request at the other end for post-approval. The approver can either approve or reject the post with or without comments. They can also attach files, mention other approvers, and add internal notes or comments to the post.

5. Planner - Reschedule missed review post

If you missed reviewing any content prior to the time/date of its publishing, your content will not be posted; however, it will go in the "Missed Review" list. All such content will show up in the separate list, you can easily filter it by status as “Missed Review.” Now, you can easily post your content again!

All you need to do is to edit the post and set a new publishing time and date.

6. Planner - Design change.

Introducing you to brand new design in the Planner module. We have made the following changes:

• Image size changed to fit each post title instead of old small images
• Changed buttons for Approve, Reject, Edit/Duplicate and Delete
• Pop up when approving posts allowing a user to approve with comment and/or reschedule missed review posts

7. New Placement for Discovery Search and Topic

Considering the feedback from our users, we have changed the "Tab bar" in the Discovery section with the buttons for Search and Topic. They have been moved into the top bar where users can easily toggle between the two by tapping the header. They can also swipe left or right to switch the views.

8. Limited options for a user with "Approver" status

Approvers logged into the app can now just view the Planner section and be able to Approve or Reject the post and will not be able to edit the post.

9. Code Improvements and Performance Improvements

We have improved the entire code base to give users a better overall experience while using the app. In order to keep the apps updated, code has been refactored to cater to the architectural design changes and the requirements enforced by Apple and Google.

Furthermore, libraries that were causing the app to lag have been removed. Instead, they have been replaced with custom-made solutions to improve the load on the app.

I hope you like these features, as much as we enjoyed developing them for you! :)

Our primary goal is to make this platform more accessible and convenient for you. That’s why we have introduced a feature improvement in the Discovery section.

Users can now view additional articles from an author in the discovery section and also can view the influencer details from discovery.

When you click on the author’s name in the Discovery section, you can see all the relevant details including the shared articles.

As can be seen here, a comprehensive, detailed view of influencers is available on the preview. You can view the influencer’s shared articles and overview of their engagement online.

Do you feel overwhelmed by the cornucopia of information prevalent on the internet? Do you perhaps, just want to follow specific writers, publications or channels that suit your interest? Instead of manually researching all the sites, access all the content from one platform! We have introduced a new feature called Feeds Extension.

So, how does it work? It’s quite simple.

First of all, make sure you have installed the Google Chrome extension called Follow Feed.

Now, when you’re on a website and want to add its feed to your content studio workspace, simply click the Follow Feed extension on the top right corner of your screen.

Make sure to hit that Follow button, and add it to the group. You will get an option to add the feed to an existing or a new group on Content Studio.

After you have chosen the group, you can go back to the ContentStudio workspace. Enjoy your personalized feed!

Twitter is a perfect social media platform to connect with Influencer. Nowhere else news travels as fast as it does on Twitter. Politicians, Celebrities, and News anchors use this medium to quickly dissipate trending news.

If you can connect with these influencers, the chances of boosting your brand's image skyrocket. ContentStudio presents you with an easy strategy to connect with twitter Influencer and increase the reach of your brand.

Go to ContentStudio and search your industry for Twitter Influencers. Export the returned list in the form of a CSV. Now you can tag all these influencers in your posts. This will not only increase the reach and engagement of your posts but if the content is good you might reshare from the influencers themselves.

This helps increase your brand's visibility on Twitter.

Influencer outreach and marketing has really caught on and will be a great player in the 2020 digital marketing scene. ContentStudio helps you identify influencers in your industry and connect with them to promote your brand.

But the question is how to approach an influencer and how to benefit from their reach?

One thing you can do is ask them for a shoutout. They can put in a good word for your brand in their Instagram posts. This way to get access to millions of eyes just from one post.

The catch here is that Influencer almost always asks you to pay a fee. Here ContentStudio comes in to help you. In our Influencer section, you can see the estimated Cost Per Post for your desired Instagram Influencer.

This helps you get a rough idea about how much a shoutout will set you back in terms of money. You can also estimate which Influencer falls in your marketing budget so you can then connect with them. Or whether a person is asking you too much money for his services.

No need to rifle through your content categories to search for the intended one. We have sorted your Content Categories in alphabetical order so you can search easily.

Both the Composer and Planner module now have your Content Categories sorted in alphabetical order to help you find them.

You can now edit your labels within the composer. By hovering over a specific label, you will see the option to edit or delete it. The animation helps in determining the particular label in questions.

Once you click on it, you can change the title of the label and the color associated with it. Click the "Save" button for the changes to take effect.

The ContentStudio chrome extension aims to speed up the process of content sharing to social channels. Labels help you to classify your content into helpful categories. This way you can search for content in your planner with ease.

The Chrome extension now has the added functionality of alphabetical sorting of your labels. This eliminates the hassle of scrolling through a large number of labels.

If your Labels list is far bigger than what the alphabetical sorting can handle, you need not worry. Search for your labels using the search option. Simply type the initials of your labels and it will appear.

A new improvement to the Global Content Category that allows you to remove only content category from the Workspace instead of removing it from all of the workspaces.

While removing the global content category, you will be given an option to remove this category from all workspaces.

If you marked check the above option, your content category will be removed from All Workspaces.

ContentStudio has launched an amazing new feature using which you can automate your content marketing workflow and get client feedback and approval faster.

Many clients enjoy the option of approving or rejecting social media posts. To cater to this need, we have created a new role of "Approver" You can add single or multiple approvers in your workspace and assign them social accounts. You can then create social posts and request for approval.

The Approver will only see the planned content against which the request is generated. Approvers will be able to reject or approve posts with or without comments.

Stakeholders are notified real-time of post status changes. In addition to that, they can instantly communicate with each other in the comment section.

You can have internal or external approvers in a workspace. The external ones can log in through a one-time magic link.

All stakeholders get in-app notifications and as well as email notifications as per the settings of their roles.

The approval request feature is only for social posts at the moment. Also, the editor or admin has to select an option of "Needs Approval" to generate a request.
