Vygo’s latest update is here, and it’s brimming with enhancements designed to streamline navigation, empower administrators, and supercharge communication. From a sleek new side menu to advanced user management tools, this release is all about making your Vygo experience smoother, smarter, and more connected. Let’s dive into what’s new and how it’s set to transform the way you engage with the platform.
What’s New in This Release
A Fresh Take on Navigation: Side Menu Unveiled
Say goodbye to the top navigation bar! Vygo’s web interface now features a side menu navigation that brings a cleaner, more intuitive experience to your fingertips. This revamped layout organises everything neatly on the left-hand side, making it easier to find what you need without the clutter. Whether you’re a student, admin, or supporter, this upgrade promises a seamless journey through the platform.
Supercharged User Management for Admins
Administrators with the OWNER role (or higher) now have a powerful new user management section at their disposal. This feature lets you:
- Adjust user roles with ease—promote, demote, or tweak permissions in just a few clicks.
- Close accounts individually or in bulk via CSV upload or by supplying a list of emails/user IDs.
It’s a game-changer for keeping your organisation’s user base in check, all from one centralized hub. Check out the screenshot below to see it in action!
Program Settings Menu Gets a Glow-Up
The program settings menu has been revamped for better usability. Settings are now grouped by functionality, so you can navigate with purpose and precision. Most options remain where you’d expect them, but there’s one notable shift: enabling/disabling events has moved from ‘Access Controls’ to the ‘Events’ section. It’s a small tweak with a big impact on workflow efficiency—take a peek below!
Chat Just Got Smarter: Quote Replies
Communication in Vygo’s chat feature is levelling up with quote replies. Want to respond directly to a specific message? Now you can:
- Desktop: Hover over a message, then click the reply button in the action bar.
- Mobile: Press and hold or swipe left-to-right to quote.
The message author gets a notification, ensuring no reply goes unnoticed. It’s perfect for keeping conversations clear and focused—see it in action!
Stay Connected with Mentions in Chat
Need someone’s attention? The new @mentions feature lets you tag chat members directly in your messages. They’ll receive a notification, making group chats more dynamic and responsive. Whether it’s a quick shoutout or a critical update, mentions keep everyone in the loop.
Invite Smarter with Role-Based Onboarding
Inviting users just got more precise with an invite by role. Choose from roles like Students, Alumni, Industry Experts, Staff, or Owners, and new users will skip the role selection step, diving straight into the right onboarding flow. Invite up to 2,000 users via CSV or 100 by manually entering emails—efficiency meets flexibility.
User Profiles: A Fresh, Unified Look
The user profile redesign brings a modern vibe to Vygo. Not only does it look sharper, but it also integrates 360 profile content into a single, cohesive view. It’s a cleaner way to explore profiles and connect with others on the platform.
Bonus Improvements to Love
- Modal Profile Views: Profiles now pop up in a modal from 360 cohorts, so you can browse without losing your place.
- Program Insights V2: The upgraded insights tool is now the default, delivering richer data at a glance.
