Major Releases

This year, we focused on transforming how you build and experience ShortPoint. From smarter data connections to breathtaking design capabilities, these releases were developed to elevate your digital workplace to new heights and empower you to build faster than ever.

Fresh New ShortPoint Templates

Fresh New ShortPoint Templates

We kicked off the year with a commitment to design excellence, releasing a wave of fresh new ShortPoint Templates . These aren't just pages; they are complete design systems ready to be deployed. Whether you needed a stunning HR portal, a modern News hub, or a sleek Home page, 2025 saw the library grow with practical yet stunning and fluid designs.

Search and Filter Toolbar: Evolution & Intelligence

Search and Filter Toolbar

We also enhanced how users interact with content. We first launched the Search and Filter Toolbar , giving you the power to add three essential widgets to your favorite Design Elements:

  • Search: To instantly find a specific item or entry within your content.
  • Filter: To narrow down data based on specific criteria, like department or category.
  • Sort: To organize information alphabetically or by date with one click.

But we didn't stop there. We followed up with a Smarter Search and Filter Toolbar Update , introducing:

  • Pagination: To break down large datasets into easy-to-browse pages.
  • Tabs: To organize content into clear, clickable categories.
  • Date Filters: allowing users to find content by "This Week," "Last Month," or custom ranges.
  • Metadata Integration: Powering it all by adding metadata to static content.

ShortPoint Microsoft Graph API Connection

ShortPoint Microsoft Graph API Connection

Perhaps our biggest technical leap this year was the ShortPoint Microsoft Graph API Connection . We broke down the silos between your Microsoft 365 tools. Now, without writing a single line of code, you can fetch and display:

  • Outlook Calendars directly on your intranet.
  • Teams Channels, and activity feeds.
  • Planner Tasks integrated into user dashboards.
  • OneDrive Files alongside SharePoint documents.

It is the master key to a truly unified digital workplace, and it's available right inside the ShortPoint interface.

These enhancements guarantee that your pages don't just look good—they feel professional, work for everyone, and perform seamlessly:

  • Style Options: New controls for Roundness, Shadow Styles, and precise Text Control within the Textshow Design Element.
