Abyssale Changelog

Hi there,

Who changed that setting? Who exported the visuals? Admins can now find out: the new Activity log records who did what in your workspace, and the Members page gets search, filters and bulk actions to match.

A log of who did what

Open Settings > Activity to see every action with When, Who, What, On and Details. Narrow it down with the filters Action, Role, On and Date (All time, Today, Last 7 days, Last 30 days), or search by name or email. Click Export CSV to take the log with you. The Activity page is available to admins only.

A Members page that scales

On Manage members, search by name or email, filter by team, switch between Current members and Revoked members, and sort by Alphabetical, Creation date or Last login. Tick several rows to revoke access to all of them in one go.

Everyone sees what is relevant

The workspace owner sees every project, and members with a lighter role only see what they can use.

Tip: In Settings > Activity, set Date to Last 7 days, pick an Action such as Member invited, then click Export CSV: you get a weekly access review in 3 clicks. The log shows 10 rows per page.

Hi there,

Connecting Abyssale to ChatGPT used to mean setting up a custom connection by hand. Abyssale is now listed in ChatGPT's plugin directory, so you can find it, install it and start creating visuals from a conversation.

Find Abyssale in the directory

In ChatGPT, open Plugins, go to the Creativity category and select Abyssale. Click Install plugin, then sign in to Abyssale with OAuth. No server URL to paste.

Ask in plain words

The plugin page suggests where to start:

• "Show me my latest Abyssale designs."
• "Generate a banner from an existing design."
• "Create personalized visuals from my product data."

You can also browse your designs and projects, create new editable designs from a brief, a brand URL or a reference, and generate images, video, GIFs, HTML5 banners and print PDFs.

Your workspace, your permissions

You sign in with your own Abyssale account. What ChatGPT can do depends on your workspace role and permissions, and generation uses your Abyssale credits as usual.

Tip: Start with the first example prompt to check the connection (it only lists designs), then try the second one: asking for 1 banner from an existing design shows you how the result looks before you scale up to a whole batch.

Hi there,

A white logo or a light background can disappear against a dark editor canvas. You can now change the colour of the canvas around your design, so you see exactly what you are working on, without touching the design itself.

Pick the canvas that fits your work

Click the A menu at the top-left of the editor, then Change canvas color. Choose one of 10 swatches, from near-black to white. The darkest swatch is the default.

Your design stays exactly as it is

Only the workspace area around your format changes. The Format Background of your design is not affected, and neither are your exports.

Remembered in your browser

Your choice is saved in your browser and applies to all your designs there, so you set it once. It is a personal display setting: it is not stored in the design, so teammates keep their own canvas colour.

Tip: Designing on a white background? Choose a mid-grey from the second row of the palette (5 of the 10 swatches) so the edges of your 1080 x 1080 format stay easy to see.

Hi there,

Matching a colour you already used means eyedropping or retyping a hex code. The colour picker now has a swatch list you can switch: your brand preset colours, or the colours On this design.

Brand preset or this design

When a brand preset is applied to your design, a dropdown appears under the colour picker. It shows the preset name by default, with your preset colours as swatches. Switch it to On this design to see the colours already used in the design. Without a brand preset, the On this design swatches are shown directly.

Every colour, one click

Pick a swatch to apply it, so your text, fills and borders stay on the exact same colours. Each colour appears once in the list, even if it is used in several places.

Gradients and print

Each stop of a gradient opens the same picker with the same dropdown, so a gradient can use your brand colours or the colours already on the design. Print designs keep their exact CMYK values, so rich black stays rich black.

Tip: Building a 2-stop gradient? Click the first stop, choose On this design, and reuse the background colour; then click the second stop and switch back to your brand preset for the accent. The picker does not remember your choice, so you pick again each time you reopen it.

Hi there,

When a design goes through several rounds of approval, it is hard to remember who approved which version. The design overview now shows the approval history: each decision with the person, the time and the version it applies to.

History in the design overview

Open a design and look at Approval Details in the right column, under Design Overview. It shows the Current version and one entry per decision: avatar, name, how long ago, a status such as Approved, and the version badge (for example v2).

Know who can approve

A badge shows you at a glance on which projects you are an approver, and projects under approval are marked in both project lists.

Clearer messages, easier approvals

If someone changed a design's status while you were on it, you now get a clear message instead of a generic error. And a team approver can now approve from the share page of a restricted project.

Tip: After sending version 2 for approval, check Approval Details on the design overview: you see the Current version (v2) and the decision recorded against it, so a 3rd review round never gets mixed up with the 2nd.

Hi there,

Feedback gets lost when nobody knows a comment is meant for them. Comments now support @mentions: tag a teammate and they get a notification right away and an email with a preview of the design, so the right person sees it. Threads also update live while you work.

Tag the right person

Type @ in a comment to mention a teammate. They get a notification right away and an email with a preview of the design, so nothing waits in a thread nobody opens.

Live comments

New comments show up live, so you and your reviewers can talk through a design without reloading the page.

Comments tied to versions

Each comment stays attached to the version of the design it was written on, so you always know what feedback refers to.

Press Esc to close a comment thread, and click a notification to jump straight to the comment.

Tip: Reviewing version 3 of a design? @mention the 1 teammate who needs to act, and write 1 clear request in the comment: they open the notification and land right on it.

Hi there,

Picking the right AI model for an image used to mean guessing. There is now one more strong option in the list: Fibo 2 from Bria, a commercially safe model trained on licensed data, with precise edits guided by up to 4 reference images.

Commercially safe by design

Fibo 2 is trained on licensed data, which makes it a good fit when the images end up in client work or paid campaigns. You will find it second in the model list, tagged NEW.

Guide the result with references

Add up to 4 reference images to steer the result, instead of describing everything in words. The card shows the Up to 4 image refs pill so you can spot it quickly.

Simple settings, clear price

With Fibo 2 the prompt bar stays light: pick the model and the ratio, that is all (no quality or variations setting). 1:1 is the default and you can choose among 21 ratios, from 1:1 to 21:9 and 9:21.

Tip: Select Fibo 2, set the ratio to 16:9 for a banner background and generate: it costs 5 AI credits per image, the same as at 1:1.

Hi there,

A long webhook list is hard to read when you cannot tell which ones still work, which designs they cover or when they were made. The webhook settings page now gives you filters, clearer columns and a simpler way to create webhooks, and revoked ones can be turned back on.

Find the right webhook

Search by URL with Search webhooks URL, or filter by Source (Abyssale app or Integration), Event and Status. The list shows Active webhooks by default; choose Revoked or All to see the others.

Turn revoked webhooks back on

On a revoked webhook, open the ... menu and choose Enable. The new Designs column shows whether a webhook listens to All designs or specific ones, and Created shows when it was set up.

Admins can now edit and re-enable webhooks too.

A simpler create window

Create new webhook now has one window: set the Webhook URL, tick the Events it should receive (five to choose from, each with a short description), and choose All designs or Specific designs. For specific designs, search by name and narrow by project (All projects) or type (All types).

Tip: Create a webhook for 2 of the 5 events, for example New Generation and New batch generation, then pick Specific designs with All types set to Animated. Later, filter the list by Event to check it landed where you expect.

Hi there,

Getting a layer in front of another used to mean dragging it through a long layer list. The Design Editor now has four Arrange buttons in the right panel, so you can move a layer up or down the stack in a single click.

Four buttons, every move you need

Select a layer and open Layer settings. Under Arrange you get:

• Bring forward
• Bring to front
• Send backward
• Send to back

The Layer Manager on the left updates right away, with the top of the list being the front.

Smart enough to stay out of your way

When a layer is already at the back, Send backward and Send to back are greyed out, so you always know where you are in the stack.

Works inside groups too

Group layers with Create group and the Group settings panel has the same Arrange row. Select a layer inside a group and the buttons reorder it within that group only, leaving the rest of your design untouched.

Tip: With three layers listed c, b, a (c in front) and b selected, click Bring forward and the list becomes b, c, a. Click Send to back and it becomes c, a, b: two clicks, no dragging.

Hi there,

Approvals get stuck when reviewers have to open each design to act on it, or hunt through a long board. The Approval board is now quicker: review straight from the cards, find a design in seconds, and it loads much faster.

Review from the card

Designs waiting for your decision show Waiting on you with Approve and Decline right on the card. Declined designs have a Reopen button, and designs in progress have Send for approval.

Find designs fast

Use Search designs or projects to filter the board by name, or open Filter by and tick the Projects you care about. Column headers stay visible as you scroll, and each column loads 20 cards at a time with Show 20 more.

Move cards between columns

Drag a card to another column to change its status, and the columns where it can go light up.

Tip: Type a project name in Search designs or projects, then check the Pending Approval column: every card marked Waiting on you is ready to Approve or Decline with one click. Got more than 20 cards in a column? Click Show 20 more.
