Lockdown on Files and Messages

Over the years, one of the most requested features has been the ability to mark a message and it's attached files as private - visible only to a select group of people.  This becomes especially important as more third party companies are added to a project.  We would have loved this ourselves when working on client projects back in the day!

 

We call it Lockdown and with todays update this feature is now available in all of your projects.

 

It doesn't end there though. While we were at it, we gave the interface a make over as well. We removed the clutter and brought the most important information within easy reach.  To see what we mean, take a look at the first screen shot below.  It's taken from the old tabbed interface which hid away some key properties.  Now look at the second screenshot, notice how privacy and notify are both fully visible and instantly available.

 

It's with this new interface that Lockdown feature really shines. Take a look at the trio of screenshots below.  The first is of our old way of doing things; you only had the option to make a message either public or private within the owner company. The second and third screenshot show the new lockdown feature; you can choose exactly who is allowed to view the message, regardless of what company they belong to.

 

Notify, too, works exactly as you'd expect - it won't allow you to notify people who shouldn't see the message.

 

Don't worry, once you've published the message you can always double check exactly who has permission to see it - simply hover over the lock icon.

 

As always we really hope you love this update and if you have any questions or feedback please let us know.

I have a process that's been just itching to use this feature - sending invoices to clients without sharing stuff all over. Niiiice.
Very timely! Is there a way to make a whole task list with individual privacy settings? Need a select few to work on a specific task list and all related comments/files for it are private.
@ketan yes indeed. If you set your tasklist as private to select individuals the tasks and comments will inherit the same privacy settings.
Awesome ! I have been waiting for this feature since day one ! The private task list is great, now I can centralize everything in Teamwork instead of having my own private things deployed in another app. Privacy for files is also a great plus.
Great!
I love it!
If I reply to a comment via email, is there a way to set privacy?
Hi Iyena,

When you reply by email on a comment notification the privacy is worked out based on the privacy of the parent object the comment is attached to.
