Team management

The goal of this release was to straighten the process of inviting new users to your team and managing your organization. We added a new usage bar that shows all active users in your team and how many users you can still add. In some rare cases, you might see that you exceed the limit of allowed users. This is because for a short period of time we were unintentionally allowing adding more users than the maximum number. In such a case, please contact us to resolve the misunderstanding. Additionally, from now on, every invited user will automatically skip the onboarding process.
