New features

• Library Overview
  A new, dedicated page for Media Libraries that gives you a clean, structured view of your library. It features a cover image, key library info, as well as relevant asset updates — all in one beautifully designed place. This makes it easier than ever to understand what a library is for and what’s in it, without needing to dig through filters or folders.

Improvements 🛠️

• Libraries: The option to add sample images after creating a new library has been removed. Libraries now start empty so you can focus on uploading your own content.

New features

The following new feature was released to enhance your experience:

• Content Block: Lottie block
  You can now embed Lottie animations in your guidelines with the new Lottie block. Just upload a .json file or paste a Lottie URL to bring your brand elements to life. It's a lightweight, scalable way to add motion and make your portals more dynamic and expressive.

• Libraries: Bulk edit background colors for icons and logos
  You can now update the background color of multiple icons or logo assets at once. No more setting them one by one, just select your assets and apply the color in bulk. This makes asset preparation and visual consistency much faster.

Improvements 🛠️

This week, we crushed these bugs to give you a better experience:

• Newsletter: We fixed an issue where opening the newsletter or refreshing the page triggered a “Contact Support” error. The newsletter now loads and refreshes normally.

  The supported formats for OCR asset content search have been extended to JPG, JPEG, TIFF, and PNG in addition to the existing PDF, DOCX, and PPTX support.

Improvements 🛠️

• Platform: We fixed an issue where switching a domain path from internal to public caused an error due to creating a new entry instead of updating the existing one. It now correctly updates the entry as expected.

New features

The following new feature was released to enhance your experience:

• Integrations: Jira Cloud
  The Jira Cloud integration connects your project and brand workflows to improve collaboration between content, design, and marketing teams. It allows teams to link Frontify assets directly to Jira issues, so they avoid switching tools or searching for files. Teams can search and attach assets from Frontify libraries to Jira issues or upload final Jira attachments back into Frontify projects and libraries. It keeps assets organized and teams aligned.

  Version 2.8.9 has been released. This new release includes security updates.

• Libraries: Performance updates.
  We've rebuilt the library’s technical foundation to deliver significantly faster asset loading, especially in large-scale libraries.

• Integrations: CI HUB.
  CI HUB connects your Frontify Libraries with the tools you use every day.
  CI HUB integrates Frontify with Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Figma, and more, giving you direct access to approved assets. You can also upload revisions back into Frontify, keeping everything consistent and centralized. With one interface across all platforms, it’s simple to learn and use.

• Automations
  Automations streamline complex workflows, saving time and boosting accuracy across your teams. By eliminating repetitive manual tasks, automations free up teams to focus on higher-value work. They ensure that important actions happen consistently and at the right moment, especially useful when multiple people, tools, or approval steps are involved.
  With automations, you can set up rules that trigger specific actions when something changes, like a file being uploaded or updated. For example, you can automatically add descriptions to newly uploaded assets, update a project’s workflow status, or translate metadata without lifting a finger.
