✨ Fine-tune your Rate Limiting: Rate Limiting can now be adjusted in 1, 2, and 4 hourly increments, in addition to our previous settings of daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, half-year, and yearly. For Growth plan accounts with Roles in place, now only admins will be able to adjust Rate Limiting controls. Learn more about Rate Limiting.
✨ Office hours with Pulkit: Starting May 12th, we’ll be hosting a weekly Q&A session with our CEO and Co-founder, Pulkit – exclusively for Chameleon customers. It’s your chance to discover the best ways to leverage our products, learn more about recent updates, discuss our roadmap, debate the best reptiles 🦎, or anything else. Add office hours to your calendar.
✨ NB - Segments are moving to the Dashboard: This will give you a wider view of all your users and more intuitive tools to quickly create and manage your segments. See what it will look like.
🐛 The font size of the title and body copy should now correctly change independently.
🐛 Corrected how Markdown should render in Launcher links. You can use headers, bold and italic to customize your Launcher links.
🐛 Dismissing a Microsurvey at the comments step should no longer trigger the "Thank you" step. 🐛 Removing a component (e.g. a shroud) from any survey step should now correctly remove it from all other steps in the Microsurvey.
🐛 Fixed an issue where data charts for NPS surveys would disappear when a custom date range was chosen.
🐛 Steps that have an entry animation should now reliably be positioned where intended.
🐛 Updated our Segment integration page to more clearly communicate how this integration functions and ensured that Tour data from Chameleon is sent to your Segment workspace.

Note: Rate limiting controls are now restricted to admins for those accounts which have permissions enabled. Manage your team here.
🎁 We launched a new menu UI in your Dashboard so you can organize the Tours you care about most and hide all the rest.
- New menu UI on tables for condensed viewing, filtering and arranging options

- Arrange your Experiences by priority, and drag and drop to change priority order
- Tours can be arranged by tag in list and card view
- When arranged by tag, you can collapse tag groups
🎁 See instant previews of how your Experiences will look in your product when changing positioning. Element and URL rules have also been updated, making it easier to deeply target users based on pages and on-screen elements. Try it in the Builder.
🎁 Google Authenticator option added to all accounts. Admins can enforce this for their team in Settings.
✨ You can now adjust the size of the dismiss (text or icon) in your Experiences as well as setting a custom snooze timer for hours, days, or weeks.
🐛 We fixed a bug on date ranges when viewing Experiences, Chameleon now remembers your choices and updates the chart accordingly.
🐛 Bug fix on URL matching – trigger icons should now correctly follow URL matching rules.
April 13th, 2021
✨ Card view added to Microsurveys and Tooltips: Finding the right Experience has never been easier (visual thinkers – this one’s for you). Try card view.

March 23rd, 2021
🎁 New Microsurvey targeting: You can now leverage Microsurvey responses to target more user segments e.g. those who didn’t see/respond to a Microsurvey or those who didn’t give you the response you were looking for.
🎁 MAUs graph in your Dashboard: Head to your Billing page to see historical data on your MAUs.
🎁 New Step snooze options: When a user chooses to dismiss an Experience, you can now set a snooze timer for hours, as well as days, weeks, and months.
✨ Tagging improved for all Experiences: Add, remove, and filter tags for every Experience you create. Do this on an individual basis, or go to your Data Management tab to review and update tags at scale.
✨ Bulk archive or unarchive events and properties: Additional updates in Data Management to save you time. More on managing your imported data here.
✨ Builder updates: Adjust the Canvas width incrementally, add blur with a slider, and use keyboard shortcuts to customize text blocks.

🐛 Buttons: Fixed an issue where changes to the currently selected button did not appear in the Builder.
🐛 Team members: Newly added team members can now immediately be given admin rights. With this fix, team avatars now update more quickly.
🐛 Dropdown Microsurveys: The width of dropdown Microsurveys was not behaving as expected. This is now resolved.
🐛 Microsurveys input text: Fixed an issue where comments on Microsurveys were sometimes appearing twice.
🐛 Tooltips positioning: Resolved a bug where some Tooltips were anchoring to all matching elements instead of the first one in the hierarchy.
Chameleon browser update: We have ended support for Internet Explorer in light of its discontinuation from Microsoft. You can find all of our supported browsers here.

🎁 Advanced element matching rules: Choose which elements need to be present or hidden for a Step to appear. You now have more control over when Steps should appear/skip and for how long Chameleon should wait for set elements to appear on screen. Read the guide.
🐛 Dropdown Microsurveys bug: Resolved an issue where the options in dropdown Microsurveys would still display in the comments step.
🐛 Step and Tooltip reset fixed: If your Step wanders off-screen, you can bring it back to the center in a click to reset the position.
Tooltips are more powerful than ever!
✨ Tighter Tooltip hotboxes: The hover area to trigger and interact with Tooltips is now more accurate, so your users will see exactly which tip they need – even when many are shown on one page.
✨ Speedier Tooltips: Tooltips now close at the same speed they open which further reduces the risk of overlap. They still have a 'fade' animation so it's clear to your users that their behavior caused the Tooltip to close.
✨ Improved pointer positioning: Choose whether your pointers center to the canvas body or the target element for better customization.
✨ Improved trigger icon positioning: Choose whether your trigger icons anchor to the center, left, or right of chosen elements. Useful for Experiences on mobile/responsive browsers where the element changes position.

🎁 Bulk archiving for Tours: You can now remove all old and irrelevant Tours from your view by archiving them. Start sorting them.
🎁 Filtering available for all Experiences: Filtering is now available for Tooltips, Launchers, and Microsurveys too so you can quickly view relevant Experiences in your Dashboard.
✨ Making it easier to get help: Chameleons like to blend in, but our help widget was a bit too camouflaged on the left. The "Get Help" Launcher (built with Chameleon) now lives at the bottom right of your Dashboard.
✨ Improved loading for Segments: If you are using larger Segments, you can review your segment data even while the total number of users is still loading.
🐛 Improved Microsurvey analytics: Deleting survey responses will now immediately update Microsurvey stats.
