Changelog

This page lists notable changes and improvements to Information Hub, organised by version. Only user-facing changes are listed here -- internal and technical updates are omitted.

  • Custom labels for JSON and tabular questions -- form creators can set user-friendly labels for JSON and tabular question fields.

  • Delete files with rows -- when deleting table rows that contain file columns, users are prompted to also delete the associated files from storage.


v2.39.2

Features

  • Save form drafts -- partially completed forms can be saved as drafts and resumed later, so field workers do not lose progress.

v2.39.1

Features

Features
