Enhanced View of Collaborators 

For team projects, you can now see all of the collaborators on a work in the Dashboard and Gallery view. We figured if you all worked hard on it you should all get credit! Also, now when someone interacts with the project by commenting on it or editing it, their profile picture appears alongside the project.

Keep it Secret, Keep it Safe

We hope you want to show off all of the great things you’re working on but we understand that sometimes it’s good to keep things under wraps until you’re ready to share them. Now for every work you add, you have privacy settings that enable you to make it visible only to you, only to a group you’re a member of, or to the whole world.
