Kollaborate Server 1.1 released with annotations, comment colors and more

Yesterday we released Kollaborate Server 1.1 which brings all of the changes in Kollaborate 1.1 plus many other server-specific features and fixes.

Annotations

You can now draw over your videos in multiple colors. Annotations must be submitted alongside a comment which helps to give the drawing context.

Comment Colors

Comments can be color-coded for context and colors are respected when exporting to marker lists. Comment colors are a powerful feature because you can filter the comment view by color and even filter colors when you export to a marker list.

Email Notification Preferences

Kollaborate now offers finer control over notification alerts. You can now choose exactly which notifications to receive from the Profile page.

Move Files Between Projects

Files can now be shared from your private storage area and can also be moved between projects.

Admins can view all projects

Superadmins and admins can now access and view all projects on the server regardless of whether or not they are part of the project's Team.

Installer tweaks

We've improved the installer too, allowing you to specify the superadmin email address and password as part of the installation process instead of logging in with the defaults and then changing them. This simplifies installation and also improves security for those who would not have changed the default login information.

Bug fixes

A large number of bugs are fixed in this version, particularly on Windows servers, and file serving performance has been improved, making this a recommended update for all server administrators.

Kollaborate Server is a version of the Kollaborate cloud workflow platform that you can run in-house on your own servers and storage, with improved customization.
