With the latest update, we replaced the line-by-line messages with a chat-like format for more structured and easy to follow communication.
2. Better File Attachment Handling in the cards
The attachments capability is improved and allows Kanbanize users to easily manage attachments in the cards.
With the enhanced functionality users are able to add multiple attachments. You can use the new drag & drop method or the plus icon to upload multiple files at once.
Use the "Download all attachments" icon to download a zip file of your attachments in a single click.
3. Synchronization of Custom fields with Card Linking.
Synchronizing card properties when linking cards to create: child/parent; relative; successor/ predecessor relations is a common approach in many scenarios.
Users are now able to synchronize selected custom fields, which are relevant to their specific use-cases.

4. Block Resolution Time - clusters
Analyzing blockers in your workflow is an effective way to identify weak spots in the process and make data-driven decisions for improvements.
For that purpose, we enhanced the Block Resolution chart in the Analytics module which now supports blockers clustering. This requires standardization of the blocker reasons i.e creating a list of the most common block reasons used by the team members.
The legend at the bottom of the chart displays all block reasons used in a given board and shows the duration of the blockers directly on the cards visualized in the chart plot area.
Project managers can switch on/off the different block reasons and analyze the time taken into a particular blocker.
