Introducing Board Dashboards with configurable widgets and RBAC, the initial Inbox feature with domain management and email services, and Drive UX 2.0 with a modernized interface.

New Features​

Board Dashboards​

A brand-new dashboard system for boards with rich data visualization:

  • Configurable widgets — add and arrange chart, summary, and metric widgets on a dedicated dashboard page
  • Role-based access control — dashboard visibility and editing permissions aligned with board roles
  • TypeScript improvements — functional service pattern with explicit resolver types for better maintainability
  • Workspace validation — all dashboard queries properly filter by workspace context

Inbox​

The first release of Copera's built-in email inbox (#2327, #2328, #2322):

  • Create inboxes with mailbox and alias management across domain and chat channels
  • Domain management — add custom domains with automatic DNS record generation (DKIM, SPF, DMARC) and SES identity setup
  • DNS verification — validate domain DNS records using Mailcow integration
  • Email sending — SMTP-based email sending with IMAP support for drafts and sent folder sync
  • GraphQL API — full resolvers for inbox and domain operations with role-based access control
  • Inbox navigation — inbox items appear in chat nav and create chat modal for workspace administrators (#2340)
  • Feature flag — inbox features gated behind a feature flag for controlled rollout (#2322)

DocSign — Public Download Page​

Completed documents can now be downloaded by signers via a public link (#2320):

  • Public /docsign/download/:token endpoint with signed URL generation for PDF downloads
  • Frontend download page showing document details, signer information, and completion status
  • Personalized download links sent to each signer in completion emails
  • Enhanced signature input with 12 cursive font styles and dynamic font selection

Drive UX 2.0​

A modernized Drive experience behind a feature flag (#2324, #2309, #2323, #2321):

  • Feature flag switch — FeatureFlagSwitch component for conditional rendering between old and new Drive UI
  • UI adjustments — cleaned up unused components, improved file filter components, and streamlined state management
  • Office editing — enhanced FileTableRow to support inline Office document editing
  • Document creation buttons — new softOutlined button variant for creating Office documents directly from Drive

Mailcow SDK​

A comprehensive TypeScript SDK for the Mailcow email server API (#2310, #2312, #2313):

  • 18 resource classes covering domains, mailboxes, aliases, DKIM, OAuth, policies, quarantine, and more
  • Full type definitions for all API request/response types
  • HTTP client with Axios, error handling, and response format detection
