Project Status, Project Management Improvements, Bulk Update Permissions, and More

We are excited to announce our first major features release of the year. This release is focused on improving the management of projects. We have added support for project status and the archiving of completed projects.

Please note that we have renamed project teams to projects because the "project team" name was causing confusion.

Project Status
You can now specify statuses for your projects. The available statuses are:
1. Planning - Projects in the planning stage are only visible to the project owner and company administrators. Putting a project in the planning stage allows you to set it up before making it visible to your team members and clients.
2. Active - Active projects are fully functional and visible to all team members and clients.
3. Critical - Critical projects are active projects that are highlighted as requiring increased attention.
4. On-Hold - On-hold projects are fully functional, but their upcoming milestones, tasks, and events are not shown on the dashboard. Clients will continue to see on-hold projects as active projects.
5. Archived - Archived projects are not shown in your workspaces list and you cannot invite new users to them.

The "Project Workspaces" drop-down menu is now grouped by project status with "Critical" projects listed first, followed by "Active" projects, "On-Hold" projects, and "Planning" projects.

Project Management Page Improvements
We have completely redesigned the project management page to make it clearer and more responsive. The page is organized into tabs by project status. The first tab list all your active projects, followed by separate tabs for each status. The far right tabs contains your archived projects and project templates. The user management features have been moved to a separate page that can be reached by clicking the name of the project. See below for a screen shot of the new project management page.

Page Tutorials
The project management pages feature a quick tutorial that highlights the major features of the page. We will be rolling out these tutorials to other sections of the site as update them. We hope you find them useful.

Unification of Workspace and Permission Selection
The full-screen edit page has been updated so that the selection of the workspace and permission matches that of the quick edit option. This should result in a more consistent user experience.

Bulk Update of Permissions
You can now update the permission settings for milestones and tasks from the bulk update milestones and bulk update tasks page.

Bug Fixes
1. We fixed a bug where you could not unassign a task using quick edit.
2. Activity for completed tasks and milestones are now included in the daily digest.

We will be rolling out many more improvements in the weeks ahead. Thank you for your continued support.
