New views of user settings and Tasks, 2 new language versions, new interface colours, changes in Files and Sections and in the onboarding, new search function in Sections and Chats - you can find all this in PrivMX 23, which is now called PrivMX Fusion. Learn what's new in the detailed blogpost below!
New version of PrivMX is now available! Apart from all the changes noticeable at first glance - the new, juicy interface and notification colours - we have improved the onboarding and added some brand new functions and views in Tasks.
In general, it's Tasks that have gone through the most visible transformation. Version 23 offers new Kanban and List views, new ways of sorting them, as well as the possibility of moving multiple Tasks at once between Sections. We have also added the option to mark files as your favourites and a new search tool in the sidebar.
Below, you will find a detailed list of the new PrivMX 23 features, sorted by categories.
Tasks have come though most visible and revolutionary changes. From the new, adjustable Tile view, through new options of sorting and changing their order, up to moving several Tasks at once between Sections - this revolution deserve a separate blog post ;)

Find users' and Sections' names in Chats and Sections.
Apart from the global content search available in the top bar menu, the new version of PrivMX features a sidebar search tool, enabling users to filter Sections and Chats by name.

Creating a new Section with a copied list of users
While creating a new Section, PrivMX 23 allows you to copy a selected group of users from an existing Section and automatically grant them access to the new one. In the process of creating a new Section, while defining access, simply choose the new option "Get users and groups from other Sections":
All new PrivMX users, starting from downloading the new version, will be using a new, simplified path. We have refreshed the look of the start screen and the sidebar. Each new user will see a screen with two shortcuts leading to two of our tools: Chats and Files.

From now on, there's an additional step within the onboarding process, allowing users to copy the mnemonic and the ACToken and store it safely for later use. It's especially handy in case of losing the password to your account.
