Another big drop. Better workflows, sharper UX, and a handful of features you've been asking for.

New Features

🧊 New Project Type: 3D Models

You can now upload 3D model files directly to BugSmash and collect feedback on them just like any other asset. .gld & .gltf files supported. More coming soon!

Share with your team or clients, leave contextual comments, and keep 3D reviews inside the same workflow as everything else. No more emailing files back and forth or using a separate tool.

🎯 New Improved Top Bar: Approval, Version, Etc Now Always Visible for Guests

This one's big. The project top bar has been redesigned so that approval status and version controls are always visible — outside the comment sidebar, not buried inside it. The top bar no longer collapses when the sidebar closes.

Previously, sidebar used to be collapsed and guests completely lose sight of the approval button. Now it's always front and center. Fewer missed approvals, less "wait, where do I click?" from clients.

💬 Assign Comments to Team Members While Commenting

You can now assign a comment to a specific team member while writing it. No more tagging in follow-up messages or tracking who's handling what outside BugSmash. Accountability lives right inside the feedback.

🔕 Pause Commenting for Guests Only

Pause the review window for external guests while your internal team keeps working. Clients & guests can no longer comment when paused but your team can continue to add new comments. More flexibility for internal teams

✅ Mark as Resolved Directly from Comment Bubble

Resolve a comment without opening the sidebar. The resolve action is now available right in the inline comment bubble, so you can move through feedback faster.

Improvements

🌍 4 New Languages: Vietnamese, Thai, Turkish, Indonesian

Guest review pages now support Vietnamese, Thai, Turkish, and Indonesian. Your clients see the review experience in their language, out of the box.

📋 Renamed Statuses — Clearer for Everyone

Status names have been updated to better reflect real review workflows & also improve clarity for guest reviewers and clients:

• Pending (default — replaces "To Review" and "In Review")

• Approve

• Approve with Changes

• Request Changes

Existing statuses are automatically mapped across. Nothing breaks.

🏷️ Versioning Improvements: Renaming & Date

Two updates to how versions work: you can now rename any version to something meaningful (e.g. "Client Round 2"), and each version now shows its creation date. Easier to navigate long review histories.

🖼️ Image Projects: Hover to See File Names

Thumbnails in image projects show "01", "02" by default for a clean grid view — but hover over any thumbnail and you'll now see the original file name. Quick reference without cluttering the layout.

📥 Downloads Now Use Original File Names

Files downloaded from BugSmash now keep their actual names. Single-file downloads use the file's original name; multi-file downloads zip under the project name. No more hunting through a folder of "BugSmash_files".

📧 Customize the Welcome Note Sender

You can now set the name or email shown in the client welcome note. Point it to your company name or your email address so guests get the first impression exactly how you want them to.

👥 See Who's Been Invited in Share Panel

The Share dialog now shows a list of everyone already invited to a project. No more second-guessing who has access.

📥 Smarter Image Download Options

On image projects with multiple files, the download button now shows a dropdown: Download Selected or Download All (Zip). Single-image projects stay simple — no dropdown.

📱 Mobile View — Cleaner Top Bar

On mobile, the top bar is now slimmer with version, status, and comment controls moved below it in their own row. More screen space for the actual content.

UX Polish

🔢 V1 Hidden from Guests When There's Only One Version

Guests no longer see a "V1" label when a project has only one version. Reduces unnecessary confusion for clients who don't need version context.

📌 Project File Name Visible in Top Bar

The project file name is now shown directly in the top bar — no more hovering over an icon to see what you're looking at. Faster orientation, especially when switching between projects or versions.

Phew! That's a lot. More coming soon 🚀

Big month. Here's everything we shipped.

Whitelabelled portal, Custom AI Reviewers, n8n integration, extension improvements & so much more!

New Features

🏷️ Full Whitelabelled Review Portal (CNAME + SMTP)

Full white-label review experience is here. Set up your own custom domain (CNAME) and connect your branded email sending via custom SMTP. Your clients see your brand, your domain, and your identity throughout the entire review flow. Zero BugSmash footprint.

🤖 Custom AI Reviewers

Build your own AI reviewer with custom prompts and criteria, tailored to your brand standards, client guidelines, or industry-specific requirements. Run consistent, repeatable AI reviews on any asset without rewriting the brief every time.

🔌 n8n Integration

Connect BugSmash to your n8n automation workflows. Trigger flows on new comments, status changes, approvals, and more. Build custom pipelines without code.

🚀 New Agency Plan

We've launched a dedicated Agency plan, built for agencies that need white-label client delivery, custom branding, and API access under one roof. It includes full CNAME custom domain, custom SMTP, Custom AI Reviewers, API access, and also everything that’s in the Team plan.

If you're delivering work to clients and need your brand (not ours) in the review experience, this is the plan for you.

🛒 Add-Ons Are Now Purchasable Directly

You can now purchase add-ons directly from your account without going through support. Expand your plan with exactly what you need, when you need it.

Improvements

🖼️ Replace or Swap Images in Image Projects

Need to swap in an updated asset? You can now replace the image in an existing project without losing your comments or feedback history. Great for iterative design reviews.

🖼️ Custom Project Thumbnails

Set a custom thumbnail for any project so your dashboard and shared folders stay visually organized. No more generic placeholders.

🔔 "Get Notified" for Clients

Clients can now opt in to notifications themselves. When you share a new version or make updates to a project, guests can enable "Get Notified" directly from the review page — no need for you to chase them or manually loop them back in. They get an email the moment something changes, and you stay out of the back-and-forth.

Browser Extension

🎥 Screen Recording: Capture Any Tab or Full Window

Screen recording in the extension now lets you capture any open tab or your entire window, not just the current page. Record exactly what you need to show, then share it directly via BugSmash

✏️ Annotation Tools Now Available While Adding Comments

Annotation tools (arrows, highlights, shapes) are now accessible directly in the comment flow inside the extension too. Mark up screenshots inline before submitting feedback, without switching contexts.

API & Developer

⚙️ Expanded API Endpoints

New API endpoints are live: Webhook registration and other related endpoints are now available. Build tighter integrations and custom tooling on top of BugSmash → https://docs.bugsmash.io/
