Smarter roles, sharper insights, and a streamlined dashboard
Over the past two months, we’ve rolled out a series of updates to make Presspage more efficient, more configurable, and more insightful, so you can spend less time managing and more time communicating strategically. Here’s what’s new:
See what content drives social engagement
As of June, the Newsroom Statistics page includes a new section showing how often your articles are shared on LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook.
This gives you concrete insight into what resonates with your audience. Not just in terms of views, but in terms of action. Are certain formats or headlines more shareable? Do thought leadership pieces outperform product news? This data helps you spot those patterns. It's a small addition with a big impact on editorial strategy.
Configurable roles for Contributors and Managers
In May, we introduced a major step towards a more flexible permission system: Configurable Roles.
Admins can now fine-tune what Contributors and Managers can do in your Presspage environment, like whether they can:
- Change the layout or modules on the Newsroom homepage
- Add or manage tags
This is one of the most-requested features, particularly around tag governance. Some teams want to lock it down to avoid clutter, others want to delegate the task. Now you choose. And this is just the beginning: we’re laying the groundwork for more granular user rights across the platform.
Let us know where you'd like to see this flexibility next.
A cleaner, smarter Dashboard
And in April, we launched a full redesign of the Dashboard, focused on clarity and speed. You now get a combined snapshot of your Newsroom and Email activity at a glance. It's less clicking, more knowing.
Alongside the redesign, we also released:
- Tag merge: Clean up your tags without re-tagging articles manually. Great for when teams consolidate or tidy up content structures.
- Tags Module: Now you can display the tags of each article directly on the article page, which makes content easier to explore. This is especially useful for journalists.
- Video durations: Videos now show their length in the Newsroom. Helpful context for your audience.
- Media library landing pages: You can now set a specific category as the default landing view instead of “All,” which always showed the latest additions. Ideal if you want to prioritize evergreen or themed collections.
- Search API: Integrate your Newsroom’s search into your broader corporate website, so visitors can find your news as easily as product pages or investor information.
Each of these updates is rooted in the same philosophy: helping comms professionals work more strategically, with less friction. From tightening control over your workflows to surfacing the right insights at the right time, we’re continuing to shape Presspage as the platform that meets you where you work.
