New Add Updates to Enhance Ease of Use for Making Images and Files in Notes and Descriptions Public for Embed View
- What is it? When users upload files to Notes and Description sections of Scorecard related objects, those files (commonly images) are set to "Private" by default. Clear Impact has added improvements to make files uploaded into Notes and Description sections of scorecard related objects public by default when the file is being uploaded. A cross check for public files has also been added when a user goes to access the embed link to ensure that all files that will be shared through the embed are set to public.

Users can also navigate directly to the Container or Scorecard housing a measure by clicking on the listed name for the Container or Scorecard.
