In this release, we have added a nifty notification slip, that will briefly show up on the AUP Badge while you're on LinkedIn. You can dismiss notifications straight from the slip.

Also in this release:

• We now do a better job mirroring LinkedIn editor warnings into AuthoredUp. For example, the warning you get when you add too many mentions.
• We also do a better job showing draft document previews if we don't have document details.
• We have improved our clipboard support. You should now be able to paste bolded or italicized text from Word or Google Docs. You can also copy/paste mentions and other AuthoredUp specific features.
    
  If you experience issues with pasting, note that you can always paste as text by pressing Ctrl/Cmd + Shift, or via the right click menu option.
• We have fixed a problem where a link card overwrites the image from your draft.
• We now support LinkedIn's new analytics page when you're collecting your follower stats.
• AuthoredUp is now more aware of when you upload a video and will handle the process better. You should also experience less problems like "video upload doesn't show up anywhere".
• We have fixed several glitches surrounding "Repost with your thoughts" posts.
• "Grab debug info" option is now available everywhere where you can report a problem.

If you experience any issues with the new clipboard handling or any of the other fixes, please let us know in the comments.

From this release onward, you can now set the intended actor on a draft, making it clear which draft belongs to which profile or company voice.

Use cases:

⭐ You’re managing both your personal LinkedIn profile and a company page.
✍️ You are a ghostwriter, handling multiple clients.

Here’s how it works:
• Start a new draft
• Use the picker in the upper-left corner
• Pick one of your profiles or company pages

You can also do this via the draft details page, both in the extension and on the platform. Generally, everywhere you use drafts, you can now see and filter by their intended actor.

And don’t worry - if you accidentally select the wrong actor when publishing, AuthoredUp will warn you before it goes live.

We’ve also improved the tag management widget. You’ll now find it in user settings, making it easier to keep your tags organized.

Stay tuned, as further draft improvements are in the works.

You can now change the draft status manually, from the draft list or details. We have also added another status - "ready to publish" - which helps if you're working with collaborators.

On top of that, we've released the following fixes:

• Drafts not getting marked as "submitted" when you publish or schedule a post (this can still potentially happen, but we've nailed one of the reasons why)
• Hidden posts will no longer show in dashboard stats
• Restored the missing "delete draft" button in draft details on submitted drafts
• Improved the reliability of mirroring your company pages and profiles

We are currently on a drive to improve our drafts and address some long standing problems. Expect more draft updates in the coming releases!

And if you have an issue or peeve with drafts, drop it in the thread on LinkedIn.

In this minor release, we have fixed a long standing issue where "reshare with your thoughts" posts wouldn't show up in AuthoredUp until tomorrow. To all of you who sent us tickets - thank you, and sorry it took us so long to figure it out! 😅

We have also improved the way we collect saved posts - they should now get mirrored into AuthoredUp more reliably.

We are aware of the occasional problems with the undo/redo functionality, and are working on a fix.

Finally, you might have noticed we've recently had some server issues, which led to brief outages. Hopefully those are now fixed, and we have introduced measures that will help us avoid them in the future.

In this release, we fix a few more issues:

• Dashboard activity chart showed activity under wrong dates in certain time zones
• When people clicked on "Share on LinkedIn" links, AuthoredUp would mess up the link card as it activated
• "What's new" no longer crashes for not logged in users.
• Company list sync fixes

We have also made it more clear when extension is updated in the background. Until now, AuthoredUp would just start exhibiting mysterious problems. But from this version onward, you will see a notice, warning you to reload the page, so the new version can be loaded
