We’re excited to roll out two updates this month: a new feature that allows you to revoke approvals for Variants, and a bug fix to AI Alternatives!
New: Revoke Approvals for Variants
Have you ever wanted to make revisions to already approved Variants before deployment? This is now possible through the Revoke Approval feature, which allows you to “undo” approvals.
You can use this feature by following these steps:
Once a campaign’s Variants have been approved, a new ‘Revoke Approval’ button will appear on the Variants page in Portal. If you need to make further changes to the Variants, click ‘Revoke Approval.’
Please note that the ‘Revoke Approval’ option will not be available if a campaign has already been deployed or already has results coming in.
A window will pop up confirming that you’d like to revoke approval. Click ‘Revoke’ to proceed. This will undo the approval and make the Variants editable again, and a new round of approvals will be needed.
The Variants page will reload so you can leave comments and make edits as usual, and their status will move back to ‘Pending Approval.’ The ‘Remarks’ pane on the right will list when the approval was revoked and by whom for future reference.
Please note that only Portal admin users (and Persado) can revoke approvals.
If you think your Portal permissions need to be adjusted, please reach out to your Persado representative.
AI Alternatives Improvement
In the past, some users have experienced issues with our AI Alternatives feature, such as the AI Alternatives icon not consistently appearing, or Alternatives not generating unless you highlight whole words and phrases. We’ve deployed an update to avoid these bugs and make AI Alternatives more robust and have better guidance for use!
Click into any Variant text. This will now load a text editor to better indicate the ways you can update the Variant. It will also cue you to select text for more actions, like providing Content Feedback and generating AI Alternatives.
Highlight a word or a full phrase while you’re in the text editor, and then click on the pencil icon to see AI Alternatives.
Click on any AI Alternative to automatically save it as usual. Or, if you don’t see something you like, simply click out of the AI Alternatives panel to return to the text editor.
Click ‘Cancel’ if you’ve decided you don’t want to make any changes to the Variant. Or, make any manual edits as desired by typing into the text and clicking ‘Save.’
