Jira Integration, Improved Workspace Control, Diagram Enhancements, Security Updates and More
Jira Integration with Two-Way Sync
We’re thrilled to introduce Jira integration in Creately, now with two-way sync, making it easier than ever to manage your workflows. This integration allows you to seamlessly bring Jira data into Creately, visualize it for better understanding, and even push updates back to Jira directly from Creately.
Getting started is simple! Head to your Dashboard, find the Integration option, and connect Jira. Once set up, you can import Jira data to create visuals and enjoy real-time syncing between the two platforms. Drag and drop JIRA issues to Kanban boards to manage workflows, Timelines or 2x2 grids to prioritize items. Or use them in any kind of layout for easy collaboration.
You can edit the JIRA descriptions and notes in the Notes panel in Creately with real-time collaboration and have it synced back into JIRA. With this powerful two-way sync, you can ensure your data stays consistent, streamline processes, and enhance collaboration across your tools.
Now you can have JIRA, Github and Creately cards on the same board and workflow. You can also do things like running collaborative voting sessions or roadmapping sessions in Creately.
Improved Workspace Sharing Controls for Enterprise Plan Users
We’re introducing a new feature for Enterprise plan users that gives admins more control over workspace sharing. With this update, only workspace owners will have the ability to share workspaces with others. Even if team members or guest users have edit access, they won’t be able to share workspaces.
This added control helps maintain the security and integrity of your workspaces, ensuring sensitive information is only shared by those who are authorized. Admins can easily manage these sharing settings through the Organization Preferences.
This feature strengthens security and ensures that only the right people have access to share workspaces, giving Enterprise users peace of mind and better control over their workspace environments.
VIZ AI Theming for Diagrams with Creately’s Color Palettes
We’re excited to introduce automatic theming for diagrams in Creately! With this update, AI-generated or unstyled diagrams are now automatically colorized using Creately’s predefined color palettes. This ensures that your diagrams are visually appealing and consistent, making it easier to create professional-looking designs.
You can even customize the colors by selecting your preferred palette, or let the system choose one for you. Plus, you can still adjust individual shapes with custom colors for even more flexibility. This feature boosts creativity and makes it quicker and easier to design diagrams that look polished and cohesive every time.
Enhanced Shape Distribution for Cleaner Diagrams
We’ve made enhancements to the “Distribute Shapes Evenly” feature to give you even more control over your diagram layouts. Now, when you distribute shapes, they’ll automatically snap to the nearest grid lines, ensuring better alignment and organization.
This update helps you create cleaner, more professional-looking diagrams with ease, making your design process smoother and more efficient.
Smoother Safari Login Experience
Logging into Creately on Safari is now easier than ever. We’ve resolved an issue where users were prompted to enter their email and password twice.
Now, you’ll only need to enter your login details once, providing a faster and more seamless sign-in experience. This update improves usability and ensures consistency across all browsers.
