Notifications received in the web browser are tailored for the different types of notifications so they are easily identifiable. In addition, notification toasts now contain links so you can interact with the alert and navigate to the conversation, content, etc.
Users will have quick access to any bookmarked conversation from the navigation bar. This will allow users to access and interact with those particular conversations from anywhere in the application without having to leave their current screen.
When viewing your conversation list, newly received messages are now updated and reflected in the list so you can see the latest post for each conversation thread.
You can now view bookmarked conversations from the conversations list in your mobile app to give you quick access to your favorite conversations.
When viewing the conversations list, you can now view the notifications related to each conversation and mark them as read.
Currently in a conversation, users are only presented with an option to "heart" a message if they like it. This feature will allow users to select different reactions, such as like, heart, laugh, surprised, sad, and 100 points.
Edit and/or crop your profile picture to include cropping and adding filters.
You can now easily attach links to YouTube/Vimeo videos in a chat message by searching for the videos you want to include.
Announcements are a broadcast when you need to get information out quickly to all your team members. Team leaders can simply create a new announcement, select the dates the announcement is valid, and select the target audience. This one-way message is viewable as an email and from your dashboard.
Save time by bookmarking any type of content for quick access. Once bookmarked, you can quickly navigate to the item in question right from the menu bar.
Community forums is a new feature that allows you to communicate with any user who subscribes to Huddle Monkey. Have a question or want to get ideas from others? Post a question in a forum and broaden your knowledge base and utilize others outside your organization. Subscribe to topics you are interested in to get notified when a new post is made available and contribute to the conversation.
Access a ready-to-go library with content you can select from different providers. This library will grow over time and will include content around leadership, safety, and much more. Simply browse the library and select the content you are interested in. That content will now be available in your modules, ready for you to share with your teams.
You can now view a preview of a module or schedule and all of their components right from the module or schedule page. This will show you how the content will look to a user and allow you to interact with the content - play videos, download files, etc.
There is a new view in the modules view to show a module on a card with extended details to give you more information at a glance.
Modules now support a time duration to indicate how long it will take to complete a module. Durations are set for individual modules. Modules and schedules with multiple components will show the cumulative time to complete the entire schedule. Durations are automatically set for videos, audio, and Vimeo and YouTube videos, and you can manually set the duration for any module.
Modules now support thumbnails to add a visual element to modules and schedules. Thumbnails are automatically generated for videos, embed codes with a source, and Vimeo and YouTube videos upon creation of the module. You can upload custom images for thumbnails for audio, video, embed codes, and web links.
For schedules with more than one component/module, users must now mark each individual component as complete as they work their way through scheduled content. This allows the schedule owner to view a user’s overall progress in a schedule by tracking when each individual component has been completed and giving a percentage of content completed.
Owners can set the Time zone for their organization, which will be used to determine when schedules become available/unavailable. If no time zone is set, UTC time is used.
Carriage returns are now preserved and displayed when a message is posted in chat.
Users can now send a direct message to another user or team from anywhere in the application. This feature will create a conversation automatically without having to explicitly create a new conversation with a user/team.

Badges will allow leaders to create requirements that must be met for a user to earn a badge. For example, a badge could be as simple has having completed a certain module or more complex, such as having completed Training XYZ or Training ABC within the past year as well as having passed Assessment 123 with a score of 75% in the last 6 months. Users meeting these criteria will be assigned that badge. Badges can then be used to determine eligibility for serving on a team. Leaders of teams will be notified when a user's badge is about to expire so they can take the necessary action to keep the user's badge up to date. Reports will be available to list who has the badge and the expiration dates.
