We've built a notifications inbox into Boords, so nothing slips through the cracks! Every mention, reply and comment update lands in one place, accessible from the bell icon in the left rail. A pink badge appears when something's waiting for you.

✅

All your notifications in one place, organised into unread, read and archived tabs. Click any notification to jump straight to the related comment. Updates in real-time while Boords is open.

✅

Type @ in any comment to tag a teammate with access to that project. They'll get an inbox notification and an optional email.

✅

Follow a storyboard to get notified of every new comment on it, including notes from guest reviewers. Or follow an entire project to get notified of every comment across all of its storyboards.

✅

The inbox and email notifications work separately, and you control both. Set preferences globally in Settings → Account → Notifications, or override them per-storyboard and per-project.

Feedback that slips through the cracks costs time. This puts everything in one place, so that doesn’t happen!

A few things we've added and tidied up this month.

✅

The project dashboard now shows how many comments a storyboard has, so you can keep tabs on review activity without having to open it first.

✅

Assets in the sidebar can now be expanded to view them at full size. Handy for checking details before dropping an image into a frame.

🐛

The editor sidebar now has a cleaner way to switch between and , making it easier to jump between adding assets and keeping up with feedback, without losing your place.

We've improved how Boords handles script imports.

Longer scripts, particularly those in screenplay format, are now better supported, so you can upload a complete script and get straight to storyboarding.

Scripts can be uploaded as PDF, TXT, Markdown, HTML, or CSV, up to 2MB.

A few things we've quietly tidied up, tweaked, and improved.

✅

Projects now support manual drag-and-drop ordering. A new way to arrange your storyboards alongside the existing alphabetical and date-based options.


✅

You can now resize the sidebar in the grid view, editor, and shareable view. Drag it wider for more room to review comments, or narrow it down to focus on your frames.


✅

The voice-to-text, annotation, and attachment buttons now sit together in the comment editor, making it easier to find what you need. Comment replies have also been tidied up for a clearer read.


✅

If a comment has been changed after posting, it's now marked with an "Edited" label, keeping things transparent during review rounds.

Timing an animatic is fiddly enough without each change knocking everything else out of sync.

Ripple edit fixes that. Adjust a frame's duration and all subsequent frames automatically shift along with it.

Both ripple and roll edit are now available in the animatic timeline, giving you the flexibility to work the way your project needs.

Leaving feedback just got a little faster.

You can now use your voice to add comments in Boords. Click the microphone icon in the comment editor, speak your feedback and it's transcribed straight into the comment field.

Up to a minute of audio per comment, so there's plenty of room for detailed feedback without typing a word.

A small but satisfying improvement!

When you navigate from the grid to the frame editor or animatic view and then head back, Boords now remembers where you were. No more scrolling back down to find your place.

We've tidied up the animatic timeline and made a few changes to how things are laid out.

The biggest difference: the button is now much more visible, sitting clearly in the timeline where you'd expect to find it.

Same as before - just a lot easier to spot.

You can now share an animatic without leaving the animatic tool.

Previously, sharing meant heading back to the storyboard view to grab the link. Now there's a dedicated button inside the animatic tool. Manage sharing settings, copy your link, and get right back to what you were doing.
