Publication level notifications

Now you can control all email notifications at the publication level. You can set different groups or the default materials contact for any of the various email alerts. Previously you could only specify that a single group or the materials contact person would receive all types of notifications.

Watch our video for an explanation.


One thing to note - your existing settings will be migrated to the new system. You only need alter the configuration if you want to make use of the new feature.

New Enhancement: Materials Id in Thumbnails view

For all of the people who wanted to see the materials id on the thumbnail view, it is now available.
You must be signed in as a publisher to view this option and if there is no materials id, the item will not show up.

The best part is that you can rename the file for the manual deliveries to whatever you wish.
