Product Updates: Organizations, Members, Password Protection, Pantone, and more

Jul 15, 2024 — Gilli Sigurdsson

Hi everybody,

Summer is here and so are new features for Baseline.

Teams is now Organizations and Brand Members

Teams has been in beta for a long while now, so it was time to streamline it according to how people use it. Every brand now comes with its own brand team called "Members" and can be accessed from your brand dashboard. This makes it easier to simply give people access to a brand. For the more complicated use cases, we've added Organizations. It can be accessed through the menu, where the old teams feature was. Organizations are for when you need to give access to multiple brands and create admins that can oversee brands. They offer similar flexibility to the old Teams feature.

This also means that Teams is no longer free for everyone, so you might see some errors for brands that were using Teams before but don't have Professional or Business plans. We recommend you check your brands to avoid any downtime of brandguides that might be affected.

Password Protection for Brand Guides

Add a password to your brand guide to restrict access to only those who know the password. You can control this in the brandguide share settings.

Pantone, RAL and Description support

Add your brand colors Pantone and RAL to a brand's color palette, along with a description for those times when you need to explain how to use the colors.

Manually replace video thumbnails

You can now upload a video thumbnail to replace the automatically generated one, which can be useful when you want to display a video in your brand gallery, but the automatic thumbnail generated isn't good enough.

Other Improvements and Changes

  • Upgrade/Downgrade between plans now supported

  • Primary logo background color now covers the entire hero section in the brand guides

  • Primary logo background color now covers a bigger area for the Logo Safe Zone section in the brand guide

  • Logo Safe Zone borders and "X" now pick up the primary brand color to give that section a more branded feel

Fixes

  • Wrong error message showing when subscriptions are unpaid

  • Logos not saving new order after re-arranging and going out of correct order after saving

  • Bug causing brands to be counted twice for limits when added to organizations
