Buzz is now positioned beside the reaction controls in message hover menus, making it easier to find while reviewing conversations.

The updated placement is available across direct messages, group conversations, and thread replies.

Hover over a message in a direct message, group conversation, or thread. The Buzz button appears immediately to the left of the reaction picker.

This will help teammates who use Buzz consistently access assistance with two clicks.

AI Proofing now includes a "Verify prior feedback" review mode for later proof rounds. Instead of starting a fresh editorial review, Hive checks each eligible earlier human comment and records whether it was completed, partially completed, not completed, or could not be verified, with evidence and confidence. New AI suggestions are suppressed by default in this mode.

Choose Verify prior feedback when reviewing a later proof round, then use the results checklist and links to inspect the prior target and current-version evidence.

This helps proofing teams, reviewers, and creative teams confirm that requested changes were addressed without manually rechecking every earlier comment.

Hive Desktop’s top bar now follows your selected Hive theme, giving the tab strip, active and inactive tabs, navigation controls, and new-tab button a cohesive dark appearance when dark mode is enabled. Light mode keeps its existing appearance, and the top bar updates when you switch themes.

In Hive Desktop, select dark mode in Hive to see the updated top bar and tabs.

This helps people who use Hive Desktop in low-light settings or prefer a darker interface work with clearer, more comfortable desktop navigation.

AI Proofing can now analyze supported static image proofs more reliably. Hive prepares the image for review while preserving the original file as the source, so teams can use AI feedback on visual work without first converting the image themselves.

Run AI Proofing on a supported static image proof to use the improved analysis.

This helps creative teams, reviewers, and proofing stakeholders get AI-assisted feedback on image-based assets with fewer preparation steps and more consistent results.

AI Proofing suggestions can now be promoted into standard proofing annotations. Teams can turn useful AI feedback into the same kind of persistent review item used for human annotations, making it easier to carry selected findings into the review process.

This helps proofing teams and reviewers keep the AI feedback they want to act on alongside the rest of the proof's annotations.

AI Proofing can now turn reviewer suggestions into reusable guidance for future reviews. From a proofing annotation, you can remember a suggestion, review the rule Hive derives from it, and save it so future AI Proofing checks follow the same direction. You can also add, review, and remove saved guidance in AI Proofing settings.

Use on a proofing annotation, then manage saved guidance in AI Proofing settings.

This helps proofing teams and reviewers carry recurring feedback into future AI reviews instead of restating the same guidance on every proof.

App Workflows can now post a configurable message to a selected Slack channel. Templates support standard action details and project custom field tokens, so workflow posts can include values such as send dates, links, and campaign metadata when an action changes status.

In App Workflows, add the Post to Slack operation, choose a channel, and configure the message template. Posts use the workflow owner's connected Slack account.

This helps operations and communications teams send consistent, data-rich updates automatically without recreating the message by hand each time.

Not everything you need to manage in Hive is a task or a project. Some work calls for a flexible place to track the details, without losing the connection to the work already happening in Hive.

To access Tables, visit Hive Apps and toggle on "Tables:"

Tables gives you a simple way to build and manage structured information directly in your workspace. Create custom tables for campaign trackers, content calendars, customer lists, budgets, project data, and more.

Add the fields that matter, keep records up to date, and collaborate with your team in real time. Because Tables lives alongside your projects and actions, the information you rely on stays connected to the work it supports.

Calendar meeting alerts now have a cleaner, more consistent design with clear options to join, take notes, start Sidekick when available, or dismiss the reminder.

Workflows now includes a "Timesheet is approved" trigger, so teams can automatically start the next step as soon as a timesheet receives approval.
