Backpack Newsroom gets the Calendar

Tonight we pushed a Backpack update we've been working on over the past few days.

When we launched the multi-user version of Backpack last week we added the Newsroom. The Newsroom has a message board (for Basic plans and higher) as well as a latest activity block that shows a list of new pages, changes, calendar additions, etc.

But the Newsroom was missing something. Tonight we added it.

If you have any events on the Backpack Calendar that are coming up in the next 7 days we'll show up to 15 of them them in a strip on the right side of the Newsroom. If there are no events in the next 7 days the strip won't appear.

The colored calendar name appears above the event. And if there's anything coming up today the date is yellow (otherwise it's a muted grey).

We think this really improves the Newsroom. We hope you love it as much as we do.

Note: The Newsroom is only available on multiuser accounts and the Calendar is only available on pay accounts.

Thanks again for your continued support and enjoy Backpack! If you don't already have an account, why not sign-up today!
