Product updates

Changelog

New features, improvements, and fixes from Helpbee.

New Features

  • Roster Summary now highlights team readiness, raid-role composition, and characters who may need attention.

Tweaks & Improvements

  • Roster pages now load compact weekly item-level trends, with detailed character and simulation history loaded only when requested.
  • Large rosters now use substantially fewer database reads while preserving their existing progress and history.
  • Roster Summary is now reserved for admins and officers, with clearer priority alerts and player details available from its progress bars.
  • Summary cards now include compact progress trends, and checklist tooltips explain how each readiness group is determined.
  • Priority alerts now use shorter labels, labelled colour-coded issue totals, clearer spacing, and sortable columns that default to the most urgent characters.
  • Crest caps now increase as each character earns one-time uncapped Crests, keeping totals and remaining amounts accurate.
  • Sims now default to showing the most recently uploaded characters first.
  • Average item level and its graph now follow the selected roster ranks, raid-day sim alerts are more prominent, and archived rosters remain manager-only.

New Features

  • Admins and officers can now upload images directly into Prep posts, with automatic compression and a clear five-image limit.

New Features

  • Admins can now review every season and safely update crests, raids, bosses, artwork, checklist guidance, and other manually maintained season data.
  • Season changes can be saved as drafts, validated before publishing, and restored from publication history.
  • Character details and This Week now show earned Myth, Hero, Champion, and Veteran Crests against each current seasonal cap.
  • Players can refresh their selected character from This Week, with a shared three-hour cooldown and live countdown.

Tweaks & Improvements

  • Crest bars now identify weekly and uncapped sources, with details available by hovering or focusing each segment.
  • Wide screens now show two crest types per row, and character details include a visible source breakdown.
  • Crest totals now compare earned crests with the weekly cap separately from uncapped extras.
  • This Week now includes the crest source key, with balanced section spacing, tighter labels, and accurate square-ended partial fills.
  • The roster refresh action is labelled Battle.net to reflect that it updates both item levels and crest progress.
  • Character refresh controls stay compact and uncluttered, using an icon while their cooldown is active.
  • Crest types a character has outgrown are faded so the upgrades they still need stand out.

Fixes

  • Battle.net roster refreshes now run safely in the background instead of overwhelming the page.
  • Character refreshes now stay responsive while updating crest progress.

Tweaks & Improvements

  • Roster item-level graphs now mark each region’s weekly Warcraft reset day.

New Features

Tweaks & Improvements

Tweaks & Improvements

  • Prep editors can now choose whether saving a linked post mentions Discord roles, while the channel preview still updates and Helpbee remembers the choice.

New Features

  • Linked Prep sections now let admins and officers confirm a reminder to selected Discord roles, while skipping the alert when everyone has finished that prep.

Fixes

  • Roster item-level graphs now retain historical progression when the number of reporting characters changes.
  • Sim uploads now wait for WoWAudit to validate the report and show clear setup guidance before accepting it.

Tweaks & Improvements
