Sharper image uploads, smarter URLs, and richer custom imports
Vaiz 2.85 keeps your original image quality where it matters, makes URLs feel natural across the app, and brings attachments and comments into custom imports.
Vaiz 2.85 keeps your original image quality where it matters, makes URLs feel natural across the app, and brings attachments and comments into custom imports.
Custom imports
Custom JSON imports now run a second pass that pulls in attachments and comments, including formatted text, replies, files inside comments, and large media, so an imported workspace lands with its full conversation history rather than just task bodies. The format itself is documented in-product so you know exactly what to put in the JSON. Under the hood, large imports no longer push hundreds of megabytes of task data through your browser: staging now happens on the server and the client only sees what it needs, which makes big migrations far more predictable.
Smarter URLs across the app
URLs now behave the way you’d expect everywhere they appear:
- Paste a link to a Vaiz task into Add Subtask, the Search modal, or History and Archive filters, and Vaiz resolves it straight to that task instead of treating the URL as a plain text query.
- Type a domain without the protocol (e.g.
google.com) into the editor, an iframe widget, a task field, or any other URL input, and Vaiz auto-normalizes it to a valid link instead of rejecting it as invalid.
Keep your original image quality
Image uploads no longer silently convert everything to WebP. Files dropped into the /files widget are stored as-is, so designers and reviewers get the original format and resolution they uploaded. Drag-and-drop into the editor now asks whether to compress: pick With compression to keep the existing optimized image widget, or Without compression to drop the file as-is via the files widget. The Files widget and Comments also got a visual refresh — image and video previews are now rendered inline, the two surfaces share consistent styling, and a one-click download sits right next to the menu.
Bug fixes and improvements
- Direct task links on mobile. Opening a Vaiz task URL on a mobile browser (e.g. from an email notification) now loads the task page properly instead of an empty screen.
- View task from Slack on Android. Tapping View task on a Slack notification in the Android Slack client now loads the task content rather than an empty Vaiz page.
- Various polish across imports, the editor, comments, and mobile.
