Show settings have been organized into a three-tab layout for ease of use. Users with access to Mae and Adswizz will now see a separate ‘Markers’ page within the Show Settings side menu.
Marker updates: Users with access to Mae and Adswizz now have two additional features accessibly under the ‘Markers’ menu option of Show Settings.
Mid-roll marker limits: Sets a default value for the number of ads allowed in a mid-roll ad break (applies to all mid-roll markers on an episode), when creating a new episode. The default value can be changed on a per episode basis. This functionality mirrors the existing ad break default functionality already offered for pre-roll and post-roll markers.
Mid-roll marker alerts: If this feature is toggled on, a confirmation pop-up will appear before publishing (or scheduling to publish) any episode, requiring the user to confirm the number of mid-roll markers placed in the episode before proceeding with publication.
Org/Network User management updates: Users can now edit an existing User and add/remove them from additional shows and networks without having to go through the new invitation flow.
MP3 and Ad-Free MP3 Direct Download Links - If you have Mae or Adswizz enabled, you now have access to direct download links for your episode audio files and ad-free episode audio files in the MP3 Download section of the Episode Details view.
Duplicate Episode is available from the Episodes List view quick menu (…), allowing you to copy an episode and all of its contents (minus the audio file). Use this as an Episode template to create episodes faster with all your important Show Notes and info.
