What's new
What's new in the sidebar, just above Open live wall, holds the release notes for the portal and for every player. A number beside it counts the releases you have not read yet.
The list
The page opens on the last 30 days, grouped by platform: Dashboard, which is the portal itself, and then Web browser, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Tizen, LG TV, Raspberry Pi and BrightSign.
It starts on the platforms that matter to you: the portal, plus every platform your workspace has a display on. Each row shows the version, a title, how serious the release is (High, Medium or Low) and its date. Unread marks the ones you have not opened, and Action required marks a release that needs something from you, such as installing a new version on a device by hand.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Search releases and notes | Searches the titles and the notes themselves. |
| Filters | Platform, Severity, Change type (New features, Improvements, Fixes or Security), Released (Last 30 days, Last 90 days, This year or All time) and Action required only. |
| Mark all as read | Marks every unread release in the list as read. |
To read about older releases, set Released to a longer period. The platforms you tick here are remembered and are the ones you get release notifications for; see Notifications.
One release
Press a release to open it. That marks it as read. The page has a summary, an Action required box when there is something to do, and then what is New, Improved and Fixed.
For a player release, the Your displays card shows how many of your displays on that platform already run the version, and the button under it opens the Displays page filtered to that platform. Players that update themselves pick a new version up overnight. For a portal release the card reads Live for all workspaces: there is nothing to update on your side.
Read and unread are your own. A colleague reading a release does not clear it for you.
