## August 18, 2025

✨ **Online Viewing Room (OVR) Updates**

  You can now choose to **hide Alternate Views** for artworks in your Online Viewing Rooms. This gives you more control over how artworks are presented to clients.

- **👤 Associate Contacts to OVRs**  
  OVRs can now be **associated with a specific contact**.  
  Once a contact is linked, **all visitor activity** will be attributed to that contact — unless the OVR is sent via **SmartMail**, which overrides the default.
  
  - These visits are now **tracked in the contact’s timeline**, helping you better understand engagement.

⚙️ **Backend Improvements**  
- **🔧 Hasura Removal**  
  We've removed **Hasura**, a service previously used in our website's business logic. While this change doesn’t affect the user interface, you may notice **performance improvements** when navigating the platform.

## August 11, 2025

🖼️ **Mini Update for Online Viewing Rooms (OVRs)**  
✨ **New Features & Enhancements**  
- **🔗 Smarter URL Slugs**  
  OVR URL slugs are now automatically generated based on the **List Title** instead of the user-inputted Link Name. This helps prevent internal or sensitive information from appearing in URLs.
  
  ➕ You can still **customize the slug** during creation if you'd like to override the default.

- **🧭 UI Enhancements**  
  We made visual and functional updates to the **main OVR List interface** for a more streamlined and intuitive experience.

## August 5, 2025

## ✨ **Online Viewing Rooms (OVRs) Updates**  
### **🗂️ "Date Created" Column Added to OVR List**  
You can now sort your OVRs by **Date Created** directly from the **All Viewing Room Links** page. The list is sorted by this column by default for quick access to your most recent links.

### **💰 Select Which Price Label to Display**  
Customize each OVR link by choosing the specific **price label** you want to display — such as _Retail Price_, _Purchase Price_, or _Market Price_.  
Whether you're sharing prices in USD or SEK, you can tailor the display to match your audience.

🛠 To update, go to the **Artwork Settings** panel inside your OVR and choose from the **Default Price Label** dropdown.

**✅ Tip: Be sure that the selected price field is filled in for each artwork in your inventory so the correct value appears.**

### **🖼️ Banner Image URLs Now Supported**  
In addition to uploading a file, you can now use a **direct image URL** for your OVR **Banner Image**.  
This is especially helpful if you're looking to include a high-resolution banner. (There’s currently a resolution limit on uploads, but the team is working on a fix for that.)

➕ Just paste your image link into the **Image URL** field under the Header section in OVR settings.
