We’re excited to announce the release of some incredible new features and improvements added to our platform. Our development team has done an amazing job delivering not only a fresh new look, but also several highly requested updates.
The CGHero development team has been working hard on this latest major release, introducing new features and improvements across project, task, and file management, communication, and overall design. You can now invite external users to projects more easily and manage tasks more efficiently with improved visibility, custom labels, and categories.
For any feedback or issues relating to this release, please get in touch with our team or leave us a message in our feedback channel on Discord.
Projects
New Project List View
The project list has been improved to include all projects in one searchable and filterable view, including projects quoted on, active projects, and projects awaiting quotes. This provides a smoother and more consistent user experience.
Onboarding and Creating Projects
The process of creating a project has been greatly simplified, reducing the number of steps required. Project details can now also be edited directly within the project Settings.
Project Detail Area
Navigation and usability within the project detail area have been improved.
Project descriptions are now visible on the Overview page
You can now see when a project is in a pending state awaiting CGHero review
Projects awaiting approval cannot send invites until approved
Team Management
Team management and role management have been added, allowing better control over who can access and manage your projects.
User Invites
You can now invite users to a project via email, even if they are not yet signed up to the CGHero platform.
Hero Matcher
The Hero Matcher has been removed from the platform and is no longer in use.
Tasks
Task List View
A new task list view has been added, providing a simplified and more efficient way to browse and manage tasks.
Labels and Status
You can now add three types of custom labels to tasks:
Labels
Status
Categories
This allows greater flexibility in how you organise and manage your work.
A new “State” field has also been added to show task progress, such as In Progress or Done
Files
Project File Workspace
A new project-level file workspace has been added alongside the existing task workspace, making it easier to share and manage files across an entire project.
File Detail View
The file detail view has been redesigned with a more user-friendly layout when viewing individual files.
File Drag and Drop
A new drag and drop system allows fast file movement within folders. Files can be dragged directly to a new location or moved using the “Move” option in the context menu, which opens a folder navigation modal.
Chat and Messaging
Click Avatars or Names to Open Chat
When working with users inside a project, you can now open a direct message by clicking on their avatar or name.
If you want, I can also provide:
A short changelog version for marketing or email
A developer-style release notes version
Or split this into accordion-ready sections for the site UI
