What's New in Studio 3T 2020.6 | New In-App Look + Spotlight on the Small Stuff

Our development process has always been customer- and functionality-focused. Release note after release note, you’ve seen the launch of many user-driven new features that it’s been tricky to shortlist the many fixes and improvements.

In this release, we’re putting the spotlight back on the little things that go into each feature – the customer tickets, the UX session feedback, the random bug finds – that may not be headline-worthy on their own, but collectively make the Studio 3T experience better for everyone.

In-app makeover

One thing that’s perhaps not so little: we’ve ditched the 90s look 🙂

Find new in-app icons, colors, tab look and feel – and a fresher-looking manatee. We hope you like it!
