New in Basecamp: View all your Hill Charts at one time

Hill Charts let you track your to-do lists in Basecamp, from figuring things out to completion. Until now, though, there wasn't a way to see all your Hill Charts in one place. Now you can with Hilltop View! To take a look, click Activity in the navigation bar, then Choose a Report. Select Hilltop View. The report shows Hill Charts from all of your projects. The freshest updates float to the top, while older updates sink further down. Hill Charts that haven't been updated in the last three months are excluded, so you can focus on what's most relevant.

New in Basecamp: Set client access on templates

Project templates are a game changer when you do the same kind of work over and over again. Create to-dos, set up folders, and organize tools once, then spin up similar projects in just a few clicks. But when you work with clients, it takes extra steps to get things ready. After creating your project from a template and inviting folks in, you still need to choose what the client can see. We made some improvements to make working with clients and templates easier. Now you can choose what clients see (and what stays private) from inside the template.

New in Basecamp: Better events, including one-click video access & everyday language support

Scheduling client meetings and team calls happens all the time in Basecamp. It's an essential tool, so we set out to improve the experience and bring over what we learned building HEY Calendar.

New in Basecamp: Assign names and images to group pings

Pings are an essential communication tool in Basecamp — if you need to collaborate outside of a project or discuss something more privately, send a ping. But when you have a lot of pings with a lot of people, it’s hard to tell conversations apart. A single name and a few avatars are all you have to go by. You have to open each thread to figure out who’s in which one. Not anymore! Now in Basecamp, you can add a name and image to your pings so they’re easier to identify.
