Welcome to this year's first Invision Insight!
And welcome to 2023 everyone! 🎉 After a very busy 2022, we have so much more coming to you this year!
There has been so much work happening behind the scenes and I can't wait to share some of it with you in this edition. For those keen eyes, we would like to introduce a new forum in our community called Invision Insider. In an effort to keep our clients more informed on everything Invision Community, we thought it a great idea to provide a central place for all news and updates including Invision Insights, beta announcements and release webinars. You may recognise the majority of topics already in this forum, but as times goes on, we hope to fill it up and give everyone a go-to space to know the latest.
If you have any suggestions on how we can improve or evolve on this, please don't hesitate to let me know.
New Version: 4.7.7 Beta 2
Our February maintenance release is now available. This brings some key changes including the Gallery refresh and GraphQL support which I'm sure everyone is very excited to hear about!
Please bear in mind that it is a beta, so using it on your main community is at your own risk. There are also some changes affecting third party developers and designers to take note of.
Take a look through the full release notes below.
What's New in Gallery?
The Invision Community team have been hard at work giving Gallery a bit of a refurb...
Well, not a bit, I mean HUGE! @Ehren has done an absolutely stellar job bringing Gallery into the 21st century, and what an awesome update it is! I'm not going to take the limelight off @Andy Millne though, so please read his thorough blog post discussing the many new features and visual refresh below.
We are very thankful to all that worked on this product and hope that our community takes full advantage of everything Gallery has to offer. How are you implementing Gallery in your community?
Community Security
Thanks to those that joined us for our Community Security event. Some of the key action items @Charles spoke about included enabling two-factor authentication, staying up to date with the latest version and ensuring your host uses secure practices.
For those that missed it, you can still watch a recording by clicking below. We'd love to hear more about what you do in your own communities. Knowledge is power, and the more we share these practices, the more secure all of our communities will be.
Upcoming Event
This is something you definitely don't want to miss out on! Our February 2023 Release Chat has been announced!
We will be talking about all the significant changes that have been made to Invision Community, a key item being our Gallery revamp. If you have some spare time or need an excuse to take your mind off work for a few minutes, make sure you tune in!

Here's what the dev team have been working on over the holiday season since our last Invision Insight (beware, it's a long list!):
