If you run a team blog on Hashnode, you're probably familiar with adding new members. Today, we're excited to release a totally redesigned "Members" tab in our new beta dashboard.

With this new dashboard, we focused on two core areas:

  1. Improvement to Invite Link UX, and

  2. Invite users by username or email.

Let's take a look at what's changed:

Based on user feedback from those managing team blogs and looking to easily add new members, we've upgraded the "Invite link" feature. Now, you can create and share several customized links to invite multiple people to your team blog.

  • Customize Invite link roles: As a publication owner or editor, you can create new links and set roles for each. For example, you can make a specific link for editors and another for contributors, then share them as needed.

  • Set expiration dates for your links: Click the Calendar icon button to set when your invite links will expire.

  • Invalidate potentially leaked links: If you think your invite link was accidentally shared, you can delete or disable it.

If you manage a team blog as an owner or editor, you can now access these new features from the dashboard.

Invite users by username or email address:

You can now invite authors by username or email using the "Invite Member" button next to the search bar. You can also assign roles like contributor or editor when sending the invite, making it quicker and improving the user experience.

Once you have sent the invitation, authors will receive an email containing a link that allows them to join.

Before, there wasn't a tab to view invited authors. You could only cancel an invitation or copy the link; you couldn't resend it. This made managing invites difficult. Now, we have a "Pending Invites" tab where you can see the list of invited authors and have the option to revoke or resend invitations.

You can invite members using their email. Invitees who aren't members will have a "Not on Hashnode" badge next to their name, making it easier for publication owners to manage.

That's all for this week's update. We hope these new additions will make managing team blogs easier and also improve your experience. Try all of these new additions in the dashboard today!
