Coggle has seen a significant increase in use in the last few months as more people then ever are working and collaborating from home. We've spent lots of time making sure things work smoothly, and other behind the scenes improvements, but we've also made some visible changes you might have noticed:

Keyboard navigation: Keyboard navigation now uses [ctrl] + [alt] + [shift] + arrow keys, and [shift] + [alt] + arrows can be used for selecting words, [command] + [enter] is now also supported for adding new lines in a single item on Macs. The logic for selecting items when navigating with the keyboard has also been spruced up.

Improved error pages: If you click on an invitation email but the diagram cannot be shown, the error page now explains why. Possibly reasons include being logged in with the wrong account, your access having been removed, or the invitation being cancelled before it was accepted.

Improved invitations: When a new user accepts an invitation to edit a diagram they can now easily sign in with a Microsoft account, or any new login method we add in the future ;)

Improved Organisation Members List: The Organisation members list now highlights which users are using Single Sign On, and makes it easier to see the primary email address of members.

Updated Translations: We've added improved community-contributed translations for French and German (thanks Alexandre and Johannes!)

Image uploads: Image types which aren't supported will now be converted to a supported type before uploading, where possible.

As always we've also been fixing little bugs, including one which could prevent changes from being displayed correctly in history mode for diagrams created from templates, and one where sometimes clicking back from a diagram wouldn't take you to the right folder. To help us deal more efficiently with an increased number of support requests we've also stopped providing support via facebook messages – please email us at [email protected] if you need assistance with your account.

That's all for now!

We've been busy! We've actually been working on some big behind the scenes upgrades to the way Coggle works - Stay tuned for an update on those once we've finished.

That hasn’t stopped us making some other little improvements around the site though. Here's a roundup of what's changed recently:

New and improved payments: We've upgraded our payment pages to use the latest functionality from Stripe (the company we use to handle payments). We can now handle all the requirements for the latest SCA regulations (that's where your card company sends you a second code to authenticate payments), and this should make it easier for us to support other payment methods in the future, as well as making things even more secure.

Improved Diagram Search results: When you search your diagrams, the search results will now take you directly to the part item in the diagram that matches your search terms (if there is one).

Linking to Presentation Mode: You can now link directly to diagrams in presentation mode. Copy the URL while in presentation mode, or add ?present=1 onto the link's url. This works with embedded diagrams too!

Improved image zoom: Image zoom is now availble for large images in comments and chat, as well as for images in the diagram.

Faster diagram loading: We've improved caching, and reduced the number of resources and work done on diagram page loads, to make them even even snappier.
