v1.8

New

• Clients open the portal to a single “Needs your attention” list: approvals to give and messages to answer, above the fold. When there is nothing, it says so plainly.

• The portal now runs on the same shell as the dashboard — a proper sidebar, consistent page headers, and one navigation model across both sides.

Improved

• Clients see three honest states — waiting on you, in progress, done — rather than your agency's internal workflow columns.

• Work cards carry the brief, the attachment count and the status, so a client can read the list without opening anything.

• Comments and messages read as a conversation, and the composer stays pinned so you never scroll to the bottom to type.

• Empty screens explain what belongs there instead of showing a blank page.

• The portal is served from your agency's own address, so a client stays on one domain from the invite onwards.

• A new brand colour across the product and the site.

Fixed

• The Documents screen failed to load for every signed-in contact. It no longer does.

• A wrong turn inside the portal shows the portal's own not-found page rather than the agency dashboard's.

v1.7

Improved

• Every new agency gets full Agency-level limits during early access — 20 team members, unlimited clients, 100 GB storage, and every capability unlocked.

• Onboarding welcomes you to early access instead of asking you to pick a plan.

v1.6

New

• One conversation thread per client — messages live together instead of scattered across individual tasks.

• Clients can ask for work and attach files to their replies from the portal.

• The portal shows a client's own work as a simple list, not your agency's kanban board.

• See how many tasks are shared with each client, and share or hide them all in one action.

Improved

• Messages read as a conversation, with chat-style bubbles on both sides.

• Portal emails explain clearly what they are and why the client received them.

Fixed

• A client task page no longer shows your internal workflow statuses.

• New messages highlight when they arrive, including in the client conversation.

• Opening the create-task modal no longer crashes the dashboard.

v1.5

New

• Give each client their own logo. Upload it from the client's page and it replaces the generic building icon everywhere that client appears, including the sidebar.

• Resend a contact's portal invite without removing them and adding them again.

Improved

• Every transactional email — portal links, invites, comment notifications — now renders through one consistent branded template instead of four separately maintained layouts.

Fixed

• A comment notification could still reach someone who had been removed from the workspace. It no longer does.

v1.4

New

• The client portal is rebuilt on the same shell as the dashboard, with threaded replies, approvals and file access for clients.

• Templates carry an icon and a colour you choose, and templates and documents can show cover images.

Improved

• The member role is now honest about what it can do — the interface no longer offers members controls the server would refuse.

• Search engines see correct canonical URLs and organisation details sitewide.

Fixed

• Relative timestamps advance as time passes instead of freezing at whatever they said when the page loaded.

• Covers are served with their real file type, so they display instead of downloading.

• The portal keeps a background check running alongside its live connection, so an update can no longer be missed if the socket goes quiet.

v1.3

New

• The task feed is one chat stream, with Media, Links and Docs gathered into their own sections beside it.

• The composer stays pinned to the bottom, and replying opens directly under the message you are answering rather than at the foot of the page.

• The sidebar names your agency, and the app carries the cove mark.

Improved

• A new cove mark and the Tomato Grotesk typeface across the marketing site and the sign-in pages, so the brand no longer changes mid-signup.

Fixed

• Replying to a reply failed outright. It now works, and the feed bar stays pinned.

• The Google sign-in button no longer flashes as unavailable, and a failed sign-in lands back on the sign-in page instead of a dead end.

v1.2

New

• Assign more than one person to a task. The board, the task panel and the permission rules all understand additional assignees.

• Collaborators can see the people they work with, not only the work itself.

• Onboarding is rebuilt around a live preview, and the plan you pick during it is granted straight away.

Improved

• Attachments and cover images are served through the app rather than a direct storage link, so access follows the same rules as everything else.

• The site header shows the right controls for whoever is looking at it, signed in or not.

Fixed

• Approving a comment could fail outright. It no longer does.

• A collaborator can no longer start writing a private internal note, and no longer sees agency administration state meant for owners.

• Live updates reach collaborators in their own workspace room.

v1.1

New

• Preview a template exactly the way the person receiving it will see it, before you send anything.

• The view you are looking at lives in the URL, so it survives a reload and can be shared or bookmarked.

Improved

• One word throughout the product for the people an agency works for: client.

• New tasks start internal by default, so nothing reaches a client before you decide it should.

Fixed

• Links written or imported as plain text are clickable again, including everything already saved.

• Light mode has borders and edges you can actually see, and the selected item in the sidebar reads as selected.

• The onboarding card no longer flashes on every reload.

v1.0

The first public release. Flowcove is a workspace for agencies and the clients they work for: tasks, documents, templates and a client portal in one place.

New

• Flowcove is live at flowcovehq.com.

Improved

• One confirmation pattern across the product, so a destructive action always asks the same way — and private notes now look unmistakably private.

• The form for adding a client validates what it collects instead of accepting anything.

Fixed

• Dialogs and menus can no longer open off the edge of the screen.

• Dates read correctly, plan limits are stated plainly, and archived clients can no longer be edited by accident.

• Settings counts only what is actually active, rather than including archived clients and finished tasks.

• File uploads work from the live site.
