August release is here and it’s a big one! We completely overhauled our navigation to make Stomio more modern and set us up for future feature adds. Thanks to our design partners/early adopters for their feedback on this critical item
New Features
We are very excited to share new capabilities now available on the platform based on early feedback from our users.
(1) New Navigation
We completely redesigned our navigation to factor in multiple inputs from our early adopters and our future growth plans. We moved from top navigation to nested left navigation. This new design makes Stomio even easier and faster to navigate with less clicks.
[Important]: There are known improvements we are working on in the next release
The redesigned home screen, with a permanent left rail beside the live and upcoming betas
(2) Admin Billing and Payments
In light of our public launch announcement, we added payments and billing to workspace admin menu. Admins can select their plan of choice, terms, add users and/or betas, then checkout on their own using a corporate credit card thanks to our Stripe integration
[Important]: there are known corner cases we are working through for the next release

Improvements
This release carries a lot of improvements over the previous navigation to make things faster and easier to do in Stomio
(1) Easier to find various items in your beta
A beta test has multiple aspect to keep track of. Now you can find those items listed under your beta name in the left navigation so they are easier to find and navigate to. More to come on this items in the next release.

(2) Breadcrumbs
Never lose your way or where you are using breadcrumbs. If the navigation takes you deep in one item (e.g. finding the answers to a feedback step), you can easily go back by clicking on any item in the breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs across the top of a results screen, each level clickable back to the beta
(3) Quickly switch between your betas
If you want to switch to another beta in your workspace, you don’t have to go back to the main screen anymore. Quickly click on the drop down on the left navigation menu and select the beta you want to switch to

Bug Fixes
Two major initiatives were completed and they each come with their own set of corner cases and bugs to fix
(1) Fixed a bug where adding team members during onboarding returns an error
(2) Fixed a host of bugs related to new navigation
(3) Fixes a number of corner cases when it comes to billing and payments. Thanks Stripe team for your support
