We're updating the design of The HiVE's user interface to give a clean and contemporary look. The new changes provide a refreshing update to the platform's toolbar, panels, and dashboard pages. The changes are mostly cosmetic, but there are a few things to note.

Release Date: 30 September 2021 (AEDT)
Customer impacts: None

New typography for the admin areas of the system gives it a sleek and welcoming appearance. These changes will not only improve readability but also facilitate the rendering of multi-language text in the back-end.

New iconography incorporates our new 'blob' design concept - diverse organic shapes that represent the dynamic and evolving nature of our cities and communities. You'll see these shapes used more frequently in our future documentation and materials.

We've also incorporated an explicit link to the Learning Centre in the Dashboard panel to make it easier for your users to find help. We plan to improve this experience to make it even more frictionless for users in the future.

Overall the changes help unify the user experience and bring some much-needed consistency to the interface. We hope you love the new design as much as we do.
