April 2023 Release Overview

As part of our April release, we bring a highly requested client request – custom colors! With this new feature, you can add, edit, and remove colors not in the existing color palette. Watch our video below for more details and a brief demo.
Custom Colors Overview
Connection Styles
We’ve made new additions to our connections with the April release. You can now change the default style of a connection and set connections to default to a dynamic style called “Last Used.” The Last Used style allows you to quickly apply the most recent changes to other connections. Watch the below video for additional details and a brief demo.
Connection Style Overview
Task Updates
We’ve made some meaningful and powerful additions to make using your Hoylu plan easier while keeping the original flow intact. If you’re used to using tasks, you can continue to utilize the feature as in the past; however, we’ve now made it possible to set dates directly in the editor – previously, a task only got its start and due date when you moved it into a plan. Watch the short demo below to learn more about this enhanced feature update.
Task Updates Overview
Advance Reporting: Story Points
As part of our April release, we’ve made additional enhancements to our advanced reporting capabilities available for boards. Specifically, you can now automatically calculate the sum of story points in sections or columns using number-based custom fields in Jira. To see how this enhanced feature works, watch the below demo video.
