Project creation and user management improvements

This release represents a major overhaul of the user experience for creating and managing projects. A three-step wizard guides the process of creating a Git repository or project on Dropbox, including adjusting the name and inviting members.

Member roles and access control are now much clearer. Hovering over any member displays their rights, and you can give them permissions to edit projects or make them admins.

Creating Git repositories is even easier now, with just one way to create a Git repo and use a Gitignore template during the creation process.

Highlights

  • Create projects using a three-step wizard
  • Simplified workspace member roles
  • Creating Git repositories is easier

UX Improvements

  • Project roles are eliminated
  • Hovering over a member displays all member information in a popup
  • Favorites can be created using a star icon in the top right corner
  • App links can be created using a star icon in the top right corner
  • Tab handling is improved
  • Better placeholders are displayed when no project files are attached to Anchorpoint

Bug Fixes

  • App icon is displayed in push notifications
  • New tasks are created without a popup
  • The scale of grid elements is not modified when a filter is set
