Changelog
Last updated: 2026-08-08
What we ship, improve and fix on Horus. Most recent entries are at the top.
August 8, 2026
- New
"New video" can now fill in a planned card
The "Is this something already planned?" picker now also offers planner slots whose card exists but is still empty. Picking one saves the footage, script and details into that card instead of creating a duplicate video. Both paths (uploading from the list or from the planner) end up in the same place.
- Fix
Password managers no longer mistake thumbnail titles for a credit card
1Password and similar tools offered to autofill credit cards in the A/B/C titles and the brief of thumbnail cards. Those fields now explicitly signal they are not a payment form.
- Improvement
The video list shows the scheduled publish date
Videos with a planner slot (or a publish date on their card) now show a badge with the day and time they go live, in the project's timezone. Before, you had to open the video card or the calendar to find out.
August 7, 2026
- Fix
One single ping when delivering a thumbnail and moving the card
Uploading the final thumbnail and then moving the card to "Delivered" sent two nearly identical pings. Now, if the status change comes right after an upload by the same user, only the "Thumbnail delivered" ping is sent, which also includes the file name.
- Improvement
Less noise for the Client Admin: only pings that need their action
The project's Client Admin no longer gets pings for video status changes or published videos: they can see every channel by default, so those pings were just noise. They still get notified about what needs their action: a script or material ready to record, tasks assigned to them, and their due dates.
August 6, 2026
- Fix
The day highlighted as "today" respects the agency time zone
The planner computed "today" in UTC, so between midnight and 2:00 (CET) it still highlighted the previous day. The month view used each viewer's browser time zone, so a member in another country could see a different day highlighted. Both views now use the agency's configured time zone, like the rest of the calendar.
- Fix
Adding a footage link now moves the video to "Footage ready"
If a video with an assigned editor got its footage as an external link (Drive, Dropbox...) by editing the video, it stayed in "Footage" and had to be moved by hand. Adding the link now advances the video to "Footage ready" automatically, same as when the file is uploaded to Horus.
- Fix
One single ping when creating a video with linked footage and an editor
When creating a video with linked footage (Drive, Dropbox...) and an editor already assigned, the editor got two pings at once: the new task and the change to "Footage ready". They now get a single new-task notification with the stage included, same as when assigned from the kanban.
- UI
Footage: published videos fold away at the bottom of the list
Published videos no longer mix with work in progress: they now sit in a "Published" collapsible at the bottom of the Footage list, folded by default. Their files are still there and can be downloaded as usual when expanded.
- Fix
Downloading the footage pack is now full speed
The ZIP with all files of a video was generated by compressing the content, which is useless for video (it is already compressed) and capped the download at a few MB/s. The ZIP now just bundles the files without recompressing, so the download runs as fast as your connection allows.
August 5, 2026
- Fix
Assigning an editor to a video with footage notifies once
Assigning an editor to a video that already has footage sent two notifications at once: "New task assigned" and "Raw → Footage ready". Now a single one arrives: the status change, titled "New task assigned: video" for the editor. Same rule as thumbnails leaving "Waiting for brief".
- Improvement
Far fewer notifications: only what you need to act on
Big cleanup of the notification system. "Due soon" and "overdue" alerts now arrive ONCE per video or thumbnail (they used to repeat daily while pending; changing the date re-arms a single new alert). Kanban status changes only notify whoever has to act: "Footage ready" goes to the editor, "In review" and "Scheduled" to the manager and admins; scriptwriters no longer get pinged about phases they're not part of. Publishing a video sends a single "Video published" notice (two nearly identical ones used to go out). And when editing a script, only the first version notifies: revisions are saved silently.
- Fix
A thumbnail that kicks off notifies once, not twice
Moving a thumbnail out of "Waiting for brief" with an assigned designer sent two nearly identical notifications at once: "New task assigned" and "Thumbnail status changed". Now a single one arrives: the status change, titled "New task assigned: thumbnail" for the designer (for the rest of the team it stays a regular status change).
- Fix
Planning the calendar no longer sends "new task" notifications
Creating planner slots with an editor or scriptwriter assigned sent a "new task assigned" notification per slot, so laying out the month's calendar flooded Discord with pings before there was anything to do. Planning is now silent, and that includes assigning people to a card that has no material yet: the assignment is saved and the team gets notified when there is actual material (raw footage or files uploaded, kanban status changes).
- Fix
Creating a card for a video already in review no longer notifies the editor
When creating a card linked to a planner slot that was already in "In review" (or beyond), the editor and scriptwriter got a "new task assigned" notification even though their work was already done. These retroactive cards no longer send any notification; cards with pending work keep notifying as usual.
- New
Who records: editable from the video page
Until now, the person who gets the "script ready" or "base video ready" notification (and shows as "to record" in lists) could only be chosen when creating the video. Now it can be changed at any time from the People card on the video page, by checking or unchecking members. With nobody checked, the notification goes to the project admin, as always.
- UI
Raw footage: planned cards without material that are already published stop piling up
The "Planned without material" group in Raw footage no longer shows videos that are Published: if the video is already out, that footage is never coming and the entry was just noise. Nothing is deleted, the card stays on the kanban, the month view and the planner. Overdue but unpublished planned cards remain visible, since those may still need material.
August 4, 2026
- Fix
Slots without a time no longer make up 12:00 on the kanban
When creating a slot without a time, its card showed "12:00" as if it were a real time. Now the card and the month view show only the day, and a time appears only when someone actually sets one (in the planner or the video page). Removing a slot's time also removes it from the card.
- New
The planner is now the core: full mirror with the kanban and thumbnails
Creating a slot in the planner now auto-creates its video kanban card and its thumbnail card, with the channel, people and date already set. Everything stays in sync: renaming or moving in one place is reflected in the others, and deleting in one place deletes everywhere (always with a notice telling you whether the card is linked and what else will be deleted). Cards created by hand outside the planner are still possible, but they're flagged with an "Unplanned" notice so you can spot them at a glance.
- UI
Planner, kanban and month: now a single Calendar tab
The Planner and Calendar tabs have been merged into one: Calendar. Inside you'll find a switcher to jump between the three views (weekly planner, kanban and month), which in the end are the same information told three ways. Old links to both sections keep working.
- Improvement
Thumbnails leave "To define" only when you move them
Writing a thumbnail's description no longer moves it to "Pending" on its own (and therefore no longer notifies the thumbnail maker). A note isn't a finished brief: the card stays in "To define" until you move it to another column, and that's when the task notice reaches the thumbnail maker. Same when creating cards: they're always born in "To define", with or without a description.
August 3, 2026
- UI
Expanded "Planned without material" items stand out from the list
When expanding the planned-without-material group in Raw footage, its rows now sit inside a box with a tinted background and dashed border attached to the toggle, so they don't blend with the regular videos below.
- Improvement
The "video published" notice goes to its owner, not the general channel
The video published event now has a default recipient: the project manager. On Discord it reaches their channel instead of dropping into the general channel as an anonymous announcement. Whoever publishes doesn't get notified of their own action; the rest of the team still finds out via the status change to "Published".
- Improvement
The scriptwriter also shows on planner cards
Planner cards already showed the assigned editor at the bottom; now they also show the scriptwriter, with their colour and a pencil icon to tell them apart at a glance.
- Fix
"To define" thumbnails no longer send due reminders
A thumbnail without a brief can't be started, so it no longer sends "due soon" or "overdue" reminders to the thumbnail maker while it's "To define". Reminders resume as soon as it has a brief.
- Improvement
"In review" shows green for editors and scriptwriters
In the planner, when a video moves to "In review", editors and scriptwriters see the card in green: delivering is their last step, so for them it's done. The team managing the review still sees it purple, since they still have work to do.
- Fix
The planner no longer shows a stale status right after linking a video
When linking a video to a planner slot, the card was painted with the status the video had before adopting the slot's one (e.g. "Raw" while the slot was set to "Editing"), even though the kanban already showed it right. Planner and kanban now show the same thing from the very first moment.
- New
Add raw footage links from the video page
Links to externally hosted raw footage (Drive, WeTransfer…) are no longer set only when creating the package: in the Files tab you can add and remove them at any time, just like files. They count as material: if the package was "To record", adding a link marks it as recorded.
- Improvement
"To record" now says who's recording
On the video page, the kanban and the Raw footage list, the "To record" notice now includes the name of whoever has the recording pending: the recipients chosen when the package was created or, by default, the project's creator.
- Improvement
"To record" packages remember they are
Creating a video through the "not recorded yet" path now marks the package as pending recording even if it has no material inside, and the notice clears itself when the first raw file arrives. These packages no longer collapse into the planned group: they show in the main list.
- Improvement
The Raw footage list gets the status colors too
Each row now shows the same signals as the kanban: script in green or "No script" in amber, and "Footage" in green with the file count once the footage is in.
- New
Material status board on the video page
The video page now opens with an at-a-glance status board: script, raw footage, resources and recording video, each shown in green (ready, with who uploaded it and when), amber (pending, and whose move it is) or grey (none). Each block jumps to its tab. People and Brief are also collapsed by default so the material comes first.
- Improvement
The kanban flags what's missing, not just what's there
In the Raw and Raw ready columns, cards now show new chips: "To record" when there's a script or material but no footage yet, "Footage" with the file count once the footage is in, and "No script" when the video still has no script.
August 2, 2026
- Improvement
Moving a thumbnail to "Brief pending" no longer notifies
Entering "Brief pending" means the card is still being prepared, so it no longer triggers a status-change notification. The designer gets notified when the brief is ready and the card leaves that column.
- Fix
Thumbnail designers now get notified even when the video already had one assigned
Thumbnail cards auto-created from a video that already had a designer assigned were born directly in "Pending", skipping "Brief pending". Since the designer's notification is sent when the card leaves the brief stage, it was never sent at all. These cards now always start in "Brief pending" with the designer silently assigned: once you complete the brief and move the card, the notification goes out as usual.
August 1, 2026
- Improvement
Read the script from the Files tab without downloading it
A script uploaded as a file (PDF, Word, text) now has a "Read" button in the package Files section, using the same viewer as other documents. Before you could only download it; reading it inside Horus was only possible from the Script tab.
- UI
Real icons in menus and badges (emojis out)
The right-click menus in the planner and the thumbnails kanban, the script/resources chips and the "To record" badge now use the interface icon set instead of emojis, which looked different on every system.
- Improvement
Material icons on planner cards
Slots with a linked video now show tiny icons next to the downloaded check: script, base video, raw footage and resources (each counts both uploaded files and links). You can tell at a glance what the package already has without opening the right-click menu (which remains the place to download them).
- Improvement
Linking a new video adopts the slot's cycled status
If a loose planner slot already had a manually cycled status and you link a video that is still "no status" (just created from the calendar, the wizard or the planner itself), the video adopts that status instead of resetting it. The editor's pre-work in the planner is no longer lost.
- Improvement
Clickable "No status" chip on planner slots
Slots whose video hasn't entered the pipeline yet (no raw footage uploaded) no longer show without a label: they display a "No status" chip you can click to cycle the status manually, just like the rest.
- New
Link a loose thumbnail card to its video from its page
Thumbnail cards created without a link can now be connected to a project video from their edit form (only videos without a card show up). When linked, the card inherits the channel and date, its thumbnail maker carries over to the video and everything stays in sync. If already linked, the page shows which video.
- Improvement
Raw footage: planned packages without material collapse into their own group
Videos created from the calendar or the planner that have nothing in them yet (no footage, script or resources) no longer mix with real raw packages: they sit in a "Planned, no material yet" group at the top of the list, collapsed by default, and their date reads "created" instead of "uploaded". As soon as something is uploaded, the package moves to the main list on its own.
- Improvement
The brief decides a thumbnail's initial status
A new thumbnail without a brief starts in "Waiting for brief" even if it already has a thumbnail maker (it used to jump to "In progress"); with a brief it starts in "Pending". When the brief is written later, the card moves to "Pending" on its own, and that is when the assigned thumbnail maker gets their task alert, not before.
- Fix
Deactivated sponsors no longer vanish for good
Unchecking "Active" on a sponsor removed it from the page with no way to get it back from the UI. Inactive sponsors are now listed in their own section at the bottom, with buttons to reactivate or edit them.
- Improvement
Linking a planner slot now prefills its people in the form
When picking a planner slot in the upload wizard or the calendar's new card, the editor, scriptwriter and thumbnail maker assigned on the slot now show up pre-selected in the form (they were already inherited on create, but the form didn't show it). Anything you pick manually still wins.
- Improvement
The planner slot picker collapses past days
When linking a video or card to a planner slot, slots from days before today are hidden behind a button by default, so upcoming days are what you see first. You can expand them whenever needed.
- New
New cards linked: thumbnails to videos and calendar to the planner
When creating a thumbnail card manually you can pick which video it belongs to (among those without a card yet): it inherits the channel and publish date and stays in sync with the video. And when creating a card from the calendar you can attach it to a planner slot, with the same picker as the wizard: it prefills title, channel and time, and moving the card through statuses moves the slot.
- Improvement
Notifications now include the video's publish date
Video, script and thumbnail alerts (uploads, status changes, deliveries) now show the video's scheduled publish date and time, when set. Discord renders it in your own timezone automatically; emails use the project's timezone.
- New
Private Discord notifications channel for the manager
Discord auto-provisioning now creates a private channel for the project manager (avisos-name), visible only to them. Their alerts (new material, scripts…) land there instead of falling back to the server's general channel. It is created when you hit Sync in the project's notification settings.
- Improvement
The manager is also notified when a new script arrives
When a script (or a new version) is uploaded to an existing video, the project manager is now notified too, in addition to whoever records. Same behaviour as when a new package is created with material.
- Improvement
Less noise for the thumbnail maker in notifications
Video status-change and due-date alerts are no longer sent to the thumbnail maker: their notifications come from their thumbnail card. Video status changes now notify the editor and scriptwriter (when assigned), the manager and the project's Client Admins.
July 31, 2026
- New
Workload points in the planner (optional)
New sub-option inside Tiers: give each tier a point value and the planner shows the weekly total per channel (with an optional budget and an over-budget warning), the week total and the breakdown per person. Built to balance your team's workload at a glance.
- Fix
Moving a video in the planner updates its thumbnail
When moving a slot with a linked video to another day or time, the thumbnail task kept its old due date and still showed as overdue. The new date now propagates to the thumbnails kanban as well.
July 29, 2026
- Improvement
Hide the planner's ideas pool (per user)
New Hide/Show button above the planner's ideas. It's a personal view preference: it only affects your browser, the rest of the team still sees the panel.
- Improvement
The planner only offers members of the channel
The planner's scriptwriter, editor and thumbnail maker selectors now only list members with access to the slot's channel (or with access to every channel). A Valorant-only editor no longer shows up when assigning in CS2.
- New
Manager notified on every material upload
The project manager now gets a default notification (Discord, push) whenever new material lands in Horus: a to-record package, a video's first raw upload, or a link-based upload. Uploaders don't get self-notified, and parallel uploads of the same video produce a single notification.
- New
Thumbnail maker assignable from the planner
The planner modal now lets you assign a thumbnail maker on slots without a linked video, just like editor and scriptwriter. And when the slot is later linked to a video, the people assigned in the planner carry over automatically to the video, its Thumbnails card and the kanban: assign once, reflected everywhere.
- New
To-record videos highlighted and material-complete notification
Packages that already have a script, resources or a recording video but no raw footage yet are highlighted in the videos list with a "To record" badge: the recorder uploads their footage right there, without creating a new video. When the first raw file lands, Horus notifies the assigned editor (or the package recipients) that all the material is ready for editing.
- Improvement
Video page: Files tab with all the material and its own Resources tab
The Files tab now gathers all the video's material by category: raw footage, current script, resources and recording video. Resources get their own tab, and the tab order is now: Files, Script, Resources and Recording video.
- Improvement
Resources in the to-record video wizard
When creating a video that hasn't been recorded yet, you can now attach resources (files and named links), just like on already-recorded videos. That section didn't exist before, so resources ended up mixed with the script or the base video.
- New
Right-click menu in the planner and thumbnails
Planner cards now gather their actions in a right-click menu: download raws, script, resources, open the video page, mark as downloaded, edit and delete the slot. It also works in the 2-week view, which previously had no actions. Only the Downloaded check stays visible on the card. On the thumbnails board, right-click lets you open or delete a card.
- New
Font and text size in the script editor
The script editor toolbar gets two new selectors: font (Arial, Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, Courier New) and text size (12 to 32). The formatting is kept on save and looks the same in read mode.
July 27, 2026
- Fix
Invoice zip export: more robust with many attachments
The payments invoice zip download now streams: it starts right away and large packs no longer affect it. Idea reference uploads are now capped at 15 images per upload.
- Fix
Large footage downloads fixed, with feedback
Downloading the footage pack of a large video could fail silently. Downloads now stream regardless of footage size, the button shows it is being prepared, and if something goes wrong you see the reason. Also, footage is only marked as "Downloaded" when the pack is fully generated, not when requested.
- New
Images in the script editor
The script editor now supports images: paste them with Ctrl+V, drag them into the document, or insert them from the new toolbar button. They can be deleted like any other block (select and press Delete) and they show up when reading the script too.
- New
Read documents without downloading them
Text files in a video's package (PDF, Word, .txt, .md…) now have a "Read" button that opens the document in a viewer inside Horus, in raw files, resources and base material alike. The download button stays where it was.
- UI
The thumbnails board shows more cards in "Published"
The "Published" column was too short: with image cards only one fit fully in view. All columns now share the same height, with room for at least three published thumbnails, and each gets its own scrollbar when content overflows.
July 26, 2026
- Fix
The Discord server list now includes the projects you manage
In Notifications, the "Join your team's Discord server" block only listed projects where you hold a member role. If you manage a project with Discord set up, its server now shows up too.
- UI
Spanish label for the "Brief pending" column spelled out
- Fix
Dragging a slot updates the linked video's date
When dragging a planner slot to another day, the linked video kept its old date on the Calendar kanban (editing the slot did update it). Dragging, including swapping two slots, now syncs the date just like editing does.
- Improvement
The alert counter now singles out what's due today
The sidebar counters (Calendar, Thumbnails, Payments) now have three levels: violet for items due in the coming days, amber for items due today and red for items past their date. "Today" is computed using the project's timezone.
- Fix
Mandatory password change now prompts across the panel
Anyone signing in with a temporary password through an invitation link could keep browsing with it without ever being asked to change it (the prompt only appeared via the home page). The set-your-password form now shows up no matter where you land.
- UI
No status label on slots still in Raw
Planner slots in Raw state no longer show the status label: it suggested the video was underway when it hasn't entered the pipeline yet. The label shows up from Raw ready onwards.
- Fix
Last-editor mark now also shows for the manager
When the manager (or an admin) edited or moved a planner slot, the card didn't show their color bar because they hold no membership in the project. It now paints with a stable personal color, and the history's color dot does the same.
- New
Planner change history
New "History" button in the planner: it lists who created, edited, moved or deleted each slot and when, with the detail of every change (from which value to which). It also records status changes and the download check of linked videos.
- Improvement
Automatic personal color for new members
When a member joins a project they now get an unused personal color by default, so the planner's "last editor" mark always shows. The manager can change it anytime.
July 25, 2026
- Fix
Clearer due-date alerts on Discord
"Due soon" alerts now say whether they're about the video or its thumbnail (both used to say "Task" and looked like duplicates), and each one lands in the member's right room: the video alert in their editor room and the thumbnail alert in their thumbnail room.
- Fix
Video date and planner now stay in sync
When you change a video's day or time (on its page or in the calendar), the linked planner slot updates by itself, and the other way around: moving the slot to another day or changing its time updates the video's date. Previously you had to change it in both places by hand.
- Improvement
Videos move to Raw ready on their own
As soon as a video has footage (uploaded to Horus or linked) and an editor assigned, it moves from Raw to Raw ready by itself, with no dragging. The kanban, the calendar and the planner slot all update together, and the team gets the usual notification. Order doesn't matter: it works whether the footage or the editor comes first.
- New
The Calendar now flags videos that are due
In the sidebar, Calendar now shows a counter with videos whose publish date is coming up in the next few days, in red once the date has passed. It only counts videos still in progress: as soon as one is scheduled or published, it drops off. Members see their own (editing and scripting) and managers see the whole project's.
- Improvement
Team members no longer need to verify their email
When you invite someone, their password arrives by email: if they sign in with it, their address is confirmed automatically. No more "verify your email" notice for members, and your team stops showing as unverified in the panel. Managers still verify their email as before.
July 24, 2026
- Fix
Footage download now starts instantly
When downloading footage (or a video's package), the download now starts right away and the .zip is generated on the fly. Previously, with large files, the browser would sit "loading" for a while because the server built the whole package before sending anything.
- New
Download a video's footage straight from the list
In the footage list, each video with footage now has a "Footage" button that downloads the material as a .zip without opening its page. The package includes only the footage (resources have their own button) and marks the video as downloaded, just like inside the page.
- New
Download a video's resources without opening it
In the footage list, videos with resources show a "Resources" button: if there's just one, it downloads (file) or opens (link) it directly; if there are several, it opens a menu listing each resource to download or open, without entering the video's page.
- Improvement
It's now clear what's pending when "My profile" shows "Required"
When two-factor authentication (2FA) is still pending, "My profile" now shows a notice at the top and highlights the Security section with a prominent button, so it's obvious what's required instead of having to guess.
- UI
The "Thumbnail" tag in Footage now opens its card
In the footage list, a video's "Thumbnail" tag is now a link: clicking it takes you straight to its card in the Thumbnails module instead of opening the video.
- Fix
The assigned thumbnail maker now shows correctly on the thumbnail card
On the thumbnail card, the "Assigned to" dropdown showed "Unassigned" even when a thumbnail maker was assigned, if that person had multiple roles (e.g. editor and thumbnail maker at once). It now shows correctly and can be reassigned.
- Fix
The sidebar now highlights the section you're in
The sidebar now highlights the current page (calendar, footage, thumbnails...) with a shaded background so you can see where you are at a glance. Previously this highlight didn't show up in some languages.
- UI
The Published column no longer stretches the board
On both the video and thumbnail boards, the Published column now shows the latest cards and the rest scroll within the column itself, so the board no longer grows endlessly. On the video board, the most recent publications appear at the top.
- Fix
The 2-week view no longer gets cut off on Full HD screens
In the planner's 2-week view, both weeks now share the available width and fit fully on 1080p screens, so the second week is no longer cut off.
July 23, 2026
- UI
The planner is now color-coded by status at a glance
Weekly planner cards now change color based on the video's status (raw, editing, edited, scheduled, published), matching the kanban columns. Tiers get their own colored chip, and you can now pick each tier's color from Configure → Tiers. Cards also breathe more, and a new view switcher lets you choose between 1 week (full cards) or 2 weeks side by side in a compact version.
July 21, 2026
- Improvement
The planner status button no longer notifies on every click
When cycling a video's status from the planner, the notification (Discord, email and web) waits 15 seconds after the last click and is sent once with the final change. If you misclick and land back on the original status, no one gets notified. All other notifications remain instant.
- New
Archive projects and published videos
Projects can now be properly archived: they leave the sidebar and lists, become read-only, and can be restored from Configure. Published videos can also be archived to declutter the kanban, with an Archived view in Raws.
- New
Search and filters in Raws and the kanban
Raws gets a title search and a channel filter, and the kanban can be filtered by assigned person (editor, scriptwriter or thumbnail designer).
- Improvement
The planner speaks the same language as the kanban
Loose weekly planner slots now use the same stages and colors as the pipeline, and "Downloaded" is now always a download check instead of another stage in the cycle.
- UI
A more direct video page
The Details tab is gone: the brief is now edited in its own card on the video page and links live next to the files.
- Improvement
Sponsors with linked video
On a sponsor integration you can now link a published Horus video (title and URL autocomplete) or keep typing it manually, whichever you prefer.
- Improvement
Guidance on empty screens
An empty planner or kanban now explains what to do first and where each thing comes from, with a direct action.
- Fix
Paid modules made clear on the Free plan
On plans without the module, Payments, Sponsors and Notifications start off and the toggle shows as locked with its plan notice, instead of letting you turn it off with no way back on.
- Improvement
Timezone detected on sign-up
Email sign-up now detects your browser's timezone instead of leaving you on UTC.
- Improvement
Confirmation before removing a member
Removing someone from a project's team now asks for confirmation with their name.
- Fix
Consistent counters and translated texts
The video header counts files and links for real, the thumbnails page shows the same metric as its badge, the dashboard calendar warns about overdue videos, the new-video wizard numbers its steps correctly, and several texts that showed in Spanish on the English UI are now translated. Security now lives inside My profile.
July 20, 2026
- UI
Less clutter on the calendar card
If the script or resources are already uploaded to Horus, the empty external-link fields collapse behind "Add external link": it no longer looks like something is missing when everything is there.
- Improvement
The planner now shows the video's script and resources
Weekly planner slots linked to a video now show script and resource chips (with a direct link to the video page), just like the calendar. They also appear as badges in the Raws list.
- Improvement
People also synced from the planner
On slots linked to a video you can now see and change the editor, scriptwriter and thumbnail designer right from the planner. Changes are saved on the video, so the video page, the calendar and the Thumbnails board always show the same people.
July 19, 2026
- Improvement
The calendar now shows the video's actual scripts and resources
Calendar cards no longer claim there is no script when it was written or uploaded in Horus: the card and its modal now show the video's script versions and resource files, with a direct link to the video page, alongside the usual links.
- Improvement
Thumbnail designer synced everywhere
You can now assign or unassign the thumbnail designer from the calendar, and any change (calendar, video page, wizard or Thumbnails board) is reflected everywhere at once.
- Improvement
Resources get their own wizard section, with files and links
In the wizard's material step, resources are no longer buried under "More options" or link-only: they get their own section next to the script, accepting both files (documents and images) and links. They upload when the video is created.
- Improvement
Video resources now accept files: documents and images
Resources used to be links only. The Resources section in the Files tab now has an upload button for files: PDF, Word, text and images (up to 100 MB each), downloadable by the whole team. Links keep working as before.
- Improvement
Uploaded .docx scripts open in the Horus editor
Script versions uploaded as .docx files now have a button to open them right in the Horus editor, converted with their formatting. Read or tweak them there, and saving creates a new version; the original file stays intact and can still be downloaded.
- Improvement
Scripts can also be attached from the New video wizard
The wizard's material step (both when uploading raws and when preparing a recording) now has a script section with three options: upload a file, paste a link or "Write in Horus", which opens the script editor right after the video is created.
- New
Script editor inside Horus
No more Google Docs needed for scripts. Each video's Script tab now has a rich editor: headings, bold, underline, lists, quotes, links and highlights. Write a script from scratch, import a .docx keeping its formatting, and read or edit it inside Horus with a word count and estimated on-camera minutes. Every save creates a new version in the history, so previous ones are never lost. Uploading files or pasting links keeps working as always.
- Improvement
Channels get created right when you create a project
You used to have to discover that channels were created under Modules & channels, and without one the planner showed up empty. Now project creation includes its channels: we pre-fill one with the project's name (rename it if you like) and you can add the rest right there.
- Improvement
Getting-started guide updated to the new flow
The manager dashboard's getting-started checklist now mirrors how work actually flows: plan your week in the planner, create your first video with the wizard (already recorded or not yet, linked to a planned slot) and move the pipeline from the kanban or right from the planner.
July 18, 2026
- Fix
Slot time no longer drops out of place in the planner
On cards with a tier and a status, the time sometimes wrapped to a second line. It now stays pinned to the top right and badges get trimmed if they don't fit.
- Improvement
People selectors only show members with the matching role
When assigning a video's or planner slot's editor, only members with an editor role show up now, and the scriptwriter selector lists scriptwriters and Content Managers. Project admins used to appear there too, which was confusing.
- New
The planner now connects to videos: it becomes the editor's home base
Until today the planner was planning only. Now a planner slot can be linked to a real video: when creating a slot you can create its video at the same time, when uploading raw footage you can pick "is this something already planned?" and they get linked, and you can also link existing videos. On linked slots the status is the SAME as the Calendar kanban (moving it here moves it there, notifications included), there's a button to download the raw footage without leaving the planner, a shortcut to the video page, and a "Downloaded" check that gets marked automatically when the editor downloads the material (also visible on the kanban card). An editor can work all day without leaving the planner.
- UI
The video page, reorganized: tabs and people up top
No more endless scrolling on a video page. At the very top: the title with its kanban stage next to it, the channel, and the download-all and go-to-thumbnail buttons always at hand. Below that, people (scriptwriter, editor and now the thumbnail maker too) in a single place. Everything else lives in tabs: Files, Script, Recording video and Details (brief, resources and review links, which weren't even visible here before). If the video started from a script and has no raw files yet, the page opens straight on the script tab.
- Improvement
Creating a new video is now a step-by-step flow
The double Upload video and Prepare to record buttons are gone: there is now a single New video button that guides you step by step. First you choose where the video is at (already recorded and ready to edit, or not recorded yet with a script and base material), then the title, channel and date, and finally the material. If you can assign people, an optional last step lets you pick the scriptwriter, editor and thumbnail maker without leaving the flow. Advanced options (brief, script link, resources) stay collapsed out of the way.
July 17, 2026
- Fix
Mobile dashboard polish
Removed a blank gap that showed above the content on short pages, and the side menu no longer gets covered by the cookie notice when you open it.
July 17, 2026
- UI
Rename raw footage without browser popups
Renaming a video in Raw footage no longer uses the browser's generic text box: it now opens a proper Horus dialog, with the current name pre-filled and save and cancel buttons.
- Improvement
Internal history of payment activity
Every payment creation, edit, deletion, paid mark and automatic recalculation is now recorded internally. If there's ever a question about who changed what, the answer exists.
July 17, 2026
- Fix
No more reminders for tasks you already finished
Due-date reminders were checking an internal video status instead of the kanban column, so a video already scheduled or published kept firing task-overdue alerts every day. Now the kanban is the single source of truth: if the card sits in Scheduled or Published, no alert. The duplicate status label on Raw footage cards is gone too.
- Fix
Discord notifications now reach your own channel
When a card changed status, every notification was posted in the main assignee's channel, so other assigned members (scriptwriter, thumbnail maker...) got mentioned in a channel they might not even see. Now each member gets their notification in their own channel; the manager's copy still goes to the main assignee's channel.
- Fix
The upload button only shows if you can actually upload
Roles without upload permission (viewer, thumbnail maker, editors) saw an upload button that always ended in an error. It no longer shows.
July 16, 2026
- Fix
Each project card speaks your language (and your role)
In "My projects", the card said "See assigned thumbnails" to everyone, even if your role had no thumbnails. Now the text reflects where it takes you: raw footage for editors, thumbnails for thumbnail designers, and the calendar for everyone else. Also, each script version's date follows the panel language, and script upload errors are shown translated instead of the raw technical message.
- Fix
Clearer, recoverable invitations
When you invite someone who already had a Horus account, the message now makes it clear the invitation stays pending until they accept it, and warns you if they couldn't be notified by email. Also, "Resend invitation" can now regenerate the temporary password of a brand-new account that never signed in and show it to you, even if the email fails.
- Fix
Copy and date polish
Profile dates follow the panel language (they used to show month/day/year in Spanish), the thumbnail counter no longer says "1 thumbnails", and the verify-email notice now shows wording that fits team members (it used to mention payments and invites, manager things).
July 16, 2026
- UI
The dashboard actually works on mobile
Say hello to the hamburger menu: on mobile the menu lives in a side panel that opens from the top bar, and your content starts right at the top. The verify-email notice stacks vertically and reads properly, and the weekly planner scrolls horizontally instead of squeezing the 7 days into two-letter columns. On large screens everything stays exactly the same.
- Fix
More corners of the panel in your language
The pending payments card on the manager dashboard, the timezone list and the 404 page were always in Spanish; now they follow the panel language. Going back to raw footage no longer shows a doubled arrow. Also, when you switch languages the preference is now reliably saved to your account, so email notifications arrive in the right language.
- Improvement
Finer-grained permissions in calendar, raw footage and thumbnails
Applying templates on calendar cards now requires the templates permission. Assigning an editor, scriptwriter or thumbnail maker and renaming a video are team decisions: they require their own assign permission, both in the UI and on the server. And dragging thumbnails between kanban columns follows its own permission from the matrix, separate from editing or delivering.
July 16, 2026
- Fix
The nice 404 page, outside the dashboard too
Any nonexistent URL on the site now shows our 404 page in your language instead of the generic server error page.
July 15, 2026
- Fix
The Thumbnails module now follows the permissions matrix
Access to Thumbnails is now computed from the client's permissions matrix, like every other module. Before, some roles without the "View thumbnails" permission could open the section via its direct URL, and the thumbnail maker couldn't edit thumbnails even when the matrix said they could.
- Improvement
Notice when a new version is out
If we update Horus while you have the panel open, you now get a notice with a reload button. Before, buttons in the old tab could fail silently until you refreshed by hand.
- Improvement
Help center brought up to date
The help center grows from 20 to 31 articles: content calendar, templates, scripts, thumbnail deliveries, tiered payments, amount privacy, sponsors, role permissions, time zones, Google sign-in and storage. The older footage and thumbnails articles were updated to match current behavior, and the dashboard's getting-started guide now links to the help center.
- Improvement
Tier payments: see the amount before saving
When creating or editing a recurring payment with tiers, the modal now shows the current period's math live: how many tiered videos the member has, the per-tier breakdown and the total (or base + tiers). Before it just said "calculated automatically" and the number only appeared once the month's payment was generated.
- Improvement
Thumbnails: one single way to deliver
Thumbnail references and deliveries now go through files only, in their attachment sections. The loose link fields are gone: they created two different places for the same thing and made deliveries easy to miss.
- UI
More compact lists and forms
Payment, member and footage rows are slimmer, so more fits on screen without scrolling. In project settings, the details form puts status and timezone on the same row, and tiers and channels sit side by side on wide screens.
July 14, 2026
- UI
Less scrolling: wider modals and pages
The create/edit card, template and payment modals are wider and lay fields out in two columns, so they are nearly half as tall. The profile becomes two columns, and the notifications and new project pages use more of the screen. Cards across the panel are slightly more compact.
- Improvement
Tabbed settings and a tidier panel
The project settings page is organized into tabs: Info, Modules & channels, Team & permissions, and Danger zone. In Footage, "Upload video" and "Prepare to record" are grouped under a single "New video" button. The sidebar footer is now a user menu (theme, help and sign out under your name). And the profile is grouped into "Profile & preferences" and "Access & security".
- Improvement
A more comfortable calendar
The card modal groups script, resources and review into a collapsible "Links" section (opens by itself when there is content). The time-conflict warning when applying a template is resolved inline, without another modal on top. Moving a card on the kanban shows "Moved to X" with an Undo button, and network errors no longer pop up as browser alerts. Templates use a regular time field with an explicit "No fixed time" option. And in thumbnails, the reference and delivery sections of the detail view are collapsible with counters.
- Improvement
Every click goes where it should
Full navigation pass: project cards (list, top banner and collaborations) now take you to work in the right module for your role, with settings behind a gear icon. In "Needs attention", the video title opens the video and pending invitations lead to the members section. The sidebar storage bar and the storage card link to your plan. Enabled modules, channel chips on both kanbans and the member name in payments are clickable too. Plus: a more visible back button on video detail, click a file name to play it, a button to open the video URL when editing a thumbnail, and an upload CTA when there is no footage yet.
- Improvement
Quality of life improvements batch
The calendar channel filter is remembered between sessions. Deleting a card together with its raw footage asks for a second confirmation. Thumbnail correction notes become a compact badge with the text on hover. Script version history folds to the 3 most recent. Inviting a member now happens in its own dialog. The permissions matrix gains a color legend and per-permission explanations. The dashboard summary cards link to their module, and publishing schedule entries open the specific card in the project calendar. Recurring payments on day 29-31 explain when they will be due in shorter months. And personal notifications are now called "My notifications" to avoid mixing them up with project ones.
- Improvement
Scripts open with a click anywhere on the row
In the Script section, opening the link or downloading the file required hitting the small icon on the right. The whole version row is now clickable.
- UI
Project settings: cleaner page
The "Danger zone" (delete project) moves to the bottom of the page where it belongs, and the Information side card is gone: who created the project now shows in the header, next to the date.
- Fix
Editing a thumbnail no longer erases what you type
While typing a thumbnail's title or brief, autosave reset the fields mid-sentence and typed text got lost. Autosave still works the same (with its indicator), but it no longer touches what you're typing.
- Fix
Modal backdrops no longer lighten in dark mode
When opening a modal (edit thumbnail, cards, confirmations) in dark mode, the background behind it got lighter instead of darker. The veil is now always dark in both themes.
- Improvement
The same calendar everywhere in the app
"Prepare a video to record" was the last place using the browser's native date picker: it now uses Horus's own calendar, like everywhere else. Along the way, the time you type there is interpreted in the project's timezone (it previously used the typist's browser timezone).
- Fix
The date picker respects dark mode
In dark mode, the dropdown calendars of date fields (both Horus's own and the browser's native one) showed up white, as did the member color picker, and the calendar icon was barely visible. They all now respect the dark theme.
- Improvement
Calendar templates: clearer about when they set the time
A template without an hour doesn't change card times, but it was easy to create one believing it would. The form now warns you when the hour is left empty and won't save minutes without an hour.
- Fix
Inviting members no longer preselects "Vertical editor"
The team invite form came with the "Vertical editor" role preselected, making it easy to invite someone with the wrong role. Now no role is preselected and, if you try to invite without picking one, it shows a clear message.
- New
The manager gets notified when a thumbnail delivery is uploaded
Until now, if the thumbnail designer uploaded the final PNG or a correction but didn't move the card, nobody found out. Uploading a delivery file now notifies the manager (Discord, email or push depending on their preferences), with the file name and a link to the thumbnail. Several uploads in a row generate a single notice.
- Fix
"Tiers only" payments: the amount locks and no longer blocks saving
When creating or editing a recurring payment with "Tiers only" calculation, the amount field required a value even though the server computes it from the editor's videos. The field now shows as locked with a "Calculated automatically" note and you can save without filling it.
- Improvement
Sidebar and profile stay up to date, no reload needed
Second reactivity batch: the sidebar (alerts, modules, project logo and color, storage) updates as soon as you make a change, without waiting for the periodic poll. Renaming yourself in the profile shows up across the interface immediately. And when switching plans, the billing page picks up Stripe's confirmation on its own, no reload.
- Improvement
Changes show up instantly, no reload needed
First batch of reactivity improvements: creating, editing and deleting weekly planner and calendar cards, saving or deleting ideas, creating, editing or deleting sponsors, creating and editing payments, marking them as paid and managing thumbnail attachments now show up on screen immediately, with no waiting or reloading. If saving fails, the change is reverted with a notice.
- UI
"Intros" is now called "Integrations"
In the Sponsors module, "intros" are now called "integrations" across the interface: the monthly quota, buttons and confirmations.
- New
Discord: one room per role for multi-role members
Until now each member had a single room per category, named after their first role: someone who was both manager and editor only had the "manager" room. Sync now creates one room per role (manager, editing, vertical, thumbnails, script...) and each notification lands in the room of the matching role. Existing rooms are kept with their history: they get renamed and missing ones are created on sync.
- Fix
Tier-based payments cover the month up to their due date
Recurring payments computed from tiers only added up videos from the current calendar month. Now each payment covers the month ending on its due date, inclusive: a payment due July 15 adds up videos from June 16 to July 15. Consecutive payments leave no gaps and never count a video twice.
- Improvement
The planner's money summary is now private
In the planner's monthly summary, each member now sees only their own amount. The full breakdown across members is reserved for the manager and project admins. Video assignments remain visible to the whole team.
- Fix
"Needs attention" no longer flags videos with an assigned thumbnail designer
The manager dashboard flagged videos as "missing thumbnail designer" even when the thumbnail was assigned (or even approved or published) in the thumbnails kanban. It now checks the real kanban assignment, ignores finished thumbnails and excludes vertical channels, which have no thumbnails.
July 11, 2026
- Fix
Loading screens respect dark mode
When reloading or navigating to the dashboard with dark mode on, the loading screen showed up white. It now loads with the dark theme from the very first moment, without a white flash.
- Improvement
"New to record" can be created empty, with a warning
The script and the base video were already optional, but you had to attach at least one. Now you can create the package with nothing: the first click warns you it will be empty and the second one creates it. You can add the material later.
- Improvement
Add multiple links with the + button
All link fields (raw footage links, base material, thumbnail and idea references) now use a list of separate links with a + button to add more and X to remove, instead of pasting them together. Also, the Resources field on videos and cards accepts multiple links, and each one can have an optional name shown as clickable text so you know what each resource is.
- New
Managers can add themselves to their own team
If besides managing you also edit, make thumbnails or write scripts, you can now add yourself to your projects' team with those roles from the team section. You then show up in task and payment assignment lists and can have your own personal Discord channel. It does not use up seats from your plan.
- Fix
Payment notifications can no longer end up in shared Discord channels
Payment notifications (with concept and amount) are private: they are only posted to Discord if the member has a personal channel assigned or if you configured a specific channel for payment events. Otherwise they reach the payee by email and browser notification, never the project's general channel.
- New
Vertical content channels
When creating or editing a channel in a multi-channel project you can mark it as vertical content (Shorts, TikTok, Reels). Those channels do not generate thumbnail tasks: neither automatic ones when uploading a video nor manual ones from the thumbnails module.
- Fix
The mandatory 2FA notice no longer shows for Google accounts
If you sign in to Horus with Google and have no password, two-factor authentication is not part of your login, so you will no longer see the red "Required" tag in Security. If you add a password to your account, the 2FA policy applies again.
- New
Guided setup after signing up with Google
When you create your account with Google, Horus asks for your timezone, language and an optional password in a single step, so everything is set up right from day one.
- Fix
Consistent times across all calendar views
The board and the month view could show different times if your browser was in another timezone. All views now use your agency timezone, and the time you type when creating or editing a card is interpreted in that timezone too.
- UI
Horus version visible in the dashboard
Next to the logo you will see the Beta tag with the version number (v0.9.0), so you always know which version you are on.
July 10, 2026
- New
Horus launch
Run one YouTube channel or many with your team, from raw footage to published video. Calendar, weekly planner, thumbnails, raw footage, payments, sponsors and notifications in one place. Available in English and Spanish.
- New
Sign in with Google
Create your manager account or sign in to Horus in one click, no password needed.
- Fix
Fixed first access when signing up with Google
Some new managers saw an empty screen without their team right after signing up with Google and had to log in again. Fixed: you now land straight in your dashboard.
