New product releases

Peer editor update

We’ve reorganized the Peer editor to make peer settings easier to find. Authorization options (Guest, Member, etc.) are now in the Access tab, app-specific details like Mission and Contribution have moved to the Details tab, and key user info like name, email, and photo remains in the Profile tab.

Discover new API features

Our latest API release brings useful new features to enhance your integration and data management. The groupEmail field is now available in both the group and role APIs for smoother group management, while role filtering by mapID helps you quickly access relevant data. Additionally, you can now set drafts to private during creation for added control over map visibility.

Explore these features in the latest API — more details are in our API Documentation.

Spot real-time changes better than before

We’ve updated the org chart map with new animations to help you better track changes in real time. When a role or group is deleted, it will briefly enlarge before disappearing, making it clear what’s been removed. For new additions, the role or group will pop up and blink three times to draw your attention. These updates make it easier to see changes as they happen.

Add a point-of-contact to groups and roles

As an Editor, you can now select how group members or role holders are contacted. Choose to email members directly or route communication through a designated point-of-contact (e.g. shared inbox). This option streamlines communication and ensures messages reach the right individuals.

Embed private maps

Try embedding your Peerdom map in another site! This capability allows you to securely share sensitive information within your Intranet sites or other private platforms. Improve your team’s efficiency and communication by integrating your map into your existing tools.

New vocabulary options for leading roles

Customize the map's vocabulary to match your culture. We’ve added new options for representative roles: Link, Coach, and Manager. Also, the term now used by default is "Leader" instead of "Representative. To change this, go to the Vocabulary settings and select your preferred term.

New shape option for roles

You can now change the shape of roles to a hexagon for added visual distinction. Use this option to categorize roles more clearly, such as marking Positions as hexagons and Roles as circles. Choose between Circle (default) or Hexagon in the role editor.

Learn more about the different properties of roles.

Stay informed about changes to your organization

Receive alerts by email when a new peer joins or when any of your roles are updated, including changes to the name, purpose, or responsibilities. If you prefer to customize these notifications, adjust your preferences in settings.

Once a new project is on your map, you can inspect details without having to go to the Projects app. Click on the project to see the project mission, timeline, and the link to more information.

Add a project scope

In the Projects app, you can now capture the scope of your projects. Define whether your project impacts the entire organization or only a specific group on your map. Projects are visualized around the respective circle with connecting lines to their assigned roles.

Enhanced representative roles

We've improved the visual effect of roles that are marked as representatives. They now feature a more pronounced spherical appearance, ensuring greater visibility. Take it even further by choosing a vibrant color from the color picker to accentuate its presence on your map.

Export data for role contribution targets

Role contribution targets to easily identify understaffed or overstaffed situations (requires the Contribution App). If you're exporting your organizational data using the simple or full export wizard, your data exports now include role contribution targets.

Journal entries for changes to data-sensitive settings

The Journal app now logs all changes to data-sensitive settings. This includes making your map visible to the public, anonymizing personal data, allowing the sharing of private links, or enabling map embedding.

Request full access as a guest

As a Guest, you can now request to become a full member of your organization. Gain access to all map content, search engine capabilities, Peerdom apps, and private peer information, including contact details. Unlock new opportunities to contribute to your organization.

Introducing copy-and-paste on the map

Map building and updating is now easier than ever with our latest release. You can now copy roles and groups on your map using the Cmd-C (copy) and Cmd-V (paste) commands on your keyboard. Streamline your workflow and enjoy effortless mapping!

Visualize group scatter to spot potential team inefficiencies

We've added a new metric called "Group Scatter" to the Insights app. This metric helps identify groups that are at risk of being unproductive. If the members of a group are engaged in too many different areas of the organization, the group scatter value will be high. With this update, you can now see the Group Scatter overlay on your map.

See previous holders of a role

Discover the legacy of each role and its distinguished predecessors! If the Journal app is activated, you can explore the history of the role and learn about the trailblazers who have shaped it over time, simply by clicking on "Previous Holders".

Introducing the Directory App

The searchable Directory App makes it easier than ever to find and update peers across your whole organization. Quickly message, visit profiles, edit access rights, or learn additional information about your peers. Integrate Peerdom with your HRIS, external directory, or SSO provider to synchronize your Peerdom Directory .

Auto-sync Journal updates from your HRIS

We integrate with external directories such as Microsoft Entra ID and Google Workspace so you can automatically synchronize peers to Peerdom from your external employee directory. Whenever peers are added, edited, or removed from your external directory, you'll now see these events in the Journal App.

Introducing Embed Maps

It couldn't be easier to share your Peerdom map with partners, colleagues, and clients. With map embedding, you can integrate your map directly into your own website or other platform using an embed code. Simply set your map to be publicly visible, copy the embed code, and add it into your desired platform.

Introducing parallel editing

Edit your map in parallel with others and watch updates happen in real-time! With this new enhancement, you'll see changes as they happen, even while you're editing. Enjoy seamless editing without constant refreshing or unexpected changes.

View peers on the map

Now you can easily locate your peers on the map. Simply enable the "Peers" layer to show their avatars. With just a glance, you can discover the distribution of team members across roles, gaining valuable insights into where talent is concentrated within your organization.

Visualize empty groups

Take the time to map your organizational structure step-by-step. When you add a new group without adding any roles, the group will now appear as a dotted, empty circle on the map. Once you add a role with an assigned role holder, the group will appear as a closed, full circle.

Reject trust level updates from network connections

Affirm your boundaries without cutting off the connection. Previously, rejecting a trust level update had unintentionally removed the connection from your network. Now, when you decline the proposed change, you'll remain connected to your network partner, with the original trust level in place.

Improved map layout: nest roles only

In both map layout options "Nest roles only" and "Nest roles only. Show connecting lines.", roles now scale according to the size of the group. This enhancement enables clearer visibility of roles and facilitates easier navigation through your map.

Purchase your subscription on-demand

Ready to take your organization to the next level? Once your trial is over and you're ready to commit, you can purchase your subscription by credit card directly from the platform - anytime and anywhere! Simply go to the Billing section in the Settings to start your subscription.

More "Undo" actions available

The "Undo" feature can revert even more actions! You can now undo accidental goal updates on the map or contribution changes on your user profile. Simply click the "Undo" button located at the bottom left corner of the screen.

Easily identify understaffed roles

Quickly identify roles lacking sufficient resources on the map. Unassigned or understaffed roles will now appear stripped on the map. Use the Contribution App to set role contribution targets and let the map show you where they're not being met.

Direct messaging across mirrored roles

Prompt a direct message to holders of mirrored roles across your organization. Click "Chat" to start a conversation in Microsoft Teams and send messages in the group chat.

Respond to pending network invitations

You can now view and manage your pending network invitations from the Network app. Respond to each invitation by either accepting or rejecting the invitation.

New inspector panel for network connections

Once a network connection is on your map, you can inspect details about them before visiting their map. Click on the partner to see their name, their connection status, and a link to their map.

Undo your last action

Have you accidentally deleted a role or even an entire group and need a quick fix? We've got you covered. With our new "Undo" action, you can now revert the very last change you made to the map. Simply click the "Undo" button at the bottom left corner of the screen.

Journaling undone changes

The Journal app now logs all map changes, including undo actions by your peers, so you can easily track every modification - even the unintended ones.

Introducing direct messaging with MS Teams

Use Peerdom to start a conversation with your peers. With our new MS Teams integration, you can now prompt a direct message to a peer, holders of a shared role, or to group members.

Swifter search results

Don't blink or you'll miss this small improvement we've made to our search engine. Now, when you're entering your keyword, the search engine will start returning results after just two characters.

Improved peer profile editing

We've improved our peer profile performance to allow for a smoother editing experience, without interruptions or delays.

New preview of network connections

When the network map layer is turned on, you now see a map preview for each approved network connection on your map.

Additional contribution types

You can now measure contribution in "hours per month" and "hours per year", ideal for defining contribution targets for seasonal or marginal roles.

Effortless addition of external roles

Add external roles or groups directly to the map with a simple right-click outside your main organization.

Update the map on the fly

We've made some serious improvements to the map editing experience. Now, when you make changes to your roles and groups, they will render instantly on your map.

Copy goals with a role

When you copy a role into another group, you now have the option to copy its goals and subgoals as well. Any progress of copied goals will be tracked seperately from the originals.

Better overview of your groups

We've added a summary section to the group inspector. Simply click on the group you wish to inspect and get an overview of the number of subgroups, roles, colleagues, and the total work contribution contained in the group.

Update network connections on the map

As an editor, you can manage your network directly on the map. If the network layer is on, you can right-click next to the main group to add a new network connection. Right-click on estabished and pending partners and you can change their sharing settings, remove them, resend or cancel invitations.

Start sorting your Pages

Find that document you're looking for faster by using the new sorting feature. If you're using the Pages App you can now sort the pages by name or creation date.

Tailor your communication preferences

Only receive news from us that is relevant and important to you. Head to the personalization settings to set your preferences.

Add multiple peers at once with a CSV file import

When inviting new groups of peers to Peerdom, it could be laborious to manually add and invite a single peer at a time. Now you can download a simple CSV file template, fill in names and email addresses, upload the file, and add and invite multiple peers to your map simultaneously.

Copy a draft into another draft

Do you want to take your hard work on a draft and save it as another draft? Or perhaps you'd like to play with a new map configuration based on another draft of yours? You can now easily copy an entire draft into another new draft, a flexible and powerful way to iterate on your organization map.

Keep your hard work from disappearing

No longer forget to publish your changes! Whenever you close or click away from a data input form in Peerdom, you'll now be prompted with a dialogue for how you'd like to handle your changes: continue working, discard, or publish.

Cleaned up action menu

The global "New action" menu got some design love, making it much more clear what your creation and mapping actions are for each Peerdom App.

Export additional custom field data

When exporting data via the Organization Settings, your export file will now include a cleaner and more complete representation of all data you entered into any additional information fields (custom fields) available in your role and group descriptions.

Synchronize Microsoft Entra ID subgroup members

Keep your Peerdom directory up to date with your Microsoft Entra ID directory. We've made improvements that now allow you to synchronize all peers in a group, including the peers in subgroups. Read the Microsoft Entra ID SSO documentation for more information.

Introducing custom fields for roles and groups

You now have the ability to add, edit, and translate extra fields to customize role and group descriptions according to your preferences. If you have public maps, you can also decide which fields should be visible or hidden to the public.

Set a contribution target for a role

Spot when roles are over- or understaffed. With the Contribution App, you can now set a role contribution target, allowing you to keep track of whether the contributions of your peers match the role expectations.

Discover Peerdom with map templates

When creating a new organization, you can now discover and use our pre-defined templates to map your company. Choose a template from the most popular organisational structures such as Holacracy, Sociocracy, or traditional, positional hierarchy to get started.

Faster map loading time

We went back to the core and cut the loading time for large maps in half! With the significantly reduced loading time, editing and navigating complex organizations is now more reactive and just plain faster.

New vocabulary options for "peers"

In the Map Settings, you can customize Peerdom vocabulary to fit your culture. We've added more alternative terms for peers: co-worker, person, member, friend.

Track Drafts App events in the Journal App

If you have both the Journal and the Drafts App activated, Journal entries now also show when changes have been made to visible draft maps.

Changes to your personal journal are instant

Your actions across Peerdom will now immediately show up in your personal peer Journal, helping you keep track of everything you've personally been involved in.

Pending network partners are on your map

You can now see which organizations you've invited to join your network. By turning on the Network app map layer, pending network organizations are drawn with stripes.

Clear visual separation between external roles/groups and network partners

You can map external role holders (e.g. freelancers) or groups (e.g. board of directors). These external roles and groups are now drawn on your map with a short connecting line, hugging them close to your organization. By contrast, network partners are drawn with longer connecting lines, a bit farther away.

Journal performance boosts help you speed read

We've significantly reduced the time it takes to load your journal history, making it simple to quickly catch up on activity across your organization.

Page images are better formatted

You can insert images into a Page by either adding an image card, or by directly embedding the image into markdown script in a text card. We've made sure that both ways to insert an image are properly formatted - making for beautiful looking pages.

Clearer network visualization

We've refined the design to help you spot your network partners more easily on the map. Network partners now appear larger and are connected by dashed lines, making them stand out from external roles and groups.

Simplified map exports

Introducing an improved map export feature! As a map owner, you can now export a simplified list of all roles on your live map, complete with group assignments, role holder names, and their contributions.

API: Update and delete roles or groups

Take control of your organization's roles and groups with our Public API. You can now seamlessly update and delete existing roles and groups by providing their valid IDs. Make precise modifications to your map from outside of Peerdom.

API: Assign and unassign a role to a peer

With our Public API, you can now assign and unassign roles directly to peers. You even have the option to assign electable roles and set re-election dates, giving you more control over your organizational design.

Switch up your peer view

Get an overview of your colleagues on the map. In the context area, you can now switch from the compact view to the list view to see the names and contributions of your peers at a glance.

Add new entities with the right-click menu

You can now use the context menu to directly add new roles, groups or goals to the map. Simply right-click anywhere in the map to open the menu and add a new entity.

Select new color schemes

You can now use the new color picker to add color to your roles and groups. Select your new color schemes using our high-contrast color palette or select your own using the advanced color grid.

Set the global map layout

Share your perspective. Any changes you make to the map layout, not only affect you but also all of your peers. As a map Owner or Editor you determine how your organization is viewed by your peers.

Edit the page summary

You can now add, edit, or delete the page summary from within the page. Help your readers save time; with concise and engaging summaries, they'll get the essence of the content at a glance.

Zoom in more intuitively

You can now zoom in and out of your map using either the new slider widget, mouse scroll wheel, or trackpad on your desktop device, and the pinch-to-zoom gesture on your mobile device. Zoom however it feels most natural to you.

Navigate seamlessly across the map

Simply fly over your map. As a desktop user, you can click and drag to view every corner of the map. The same goes for mobile users; just tap and drag to view any role and any group at any level.

API: Link a peer to a role

With our public API you can now assign a peer to an existing role on the map from outside of Peerdom. And if you have the Contributions App enabled, you can define the role contribution percentage while you are assigning a role holder.

API: Create roles and groups

With our Public API you can now generate a full role map for your organization from outside Peerdom. Or, use the API to add new roles and groups to your organization's existing map. You could also write code that glues your other digital tools to Peerdom, automating map creation or editing. Note the API also allows for updating role and group descriptions, including purpose, responsibilities, and notes.

Configure the size of page thumbnails

Choose the size at which your page thumbnails get displayed in the Pages App. Simply use the size slider at the top of the screen to adjust the grid size.

Find additional peer information in seconds

The Peerdom search engine now returns results for information found in a peer's profile. For example, if your organization added a field to the profile for dietary requirements, and you search "vegan", the search engine will point you to profiles where the term appears, making the planning of your next team lunch a breeze.

Configure your map layout

See your organization in new perspectives. Now, you can see a simple preview of the different visual map layouts available to you when viewing your map as a collection of circles. The "View as" dropdown menu above the map shows you the different layout options. Select the one that visualizes your organizational model best.

Manage role changes and contributions on your own profile

Take control of your roles directly from your profile page. Anyone (except Guests) can now update their own role contributions or leave a role from their profile.

Introducing smoother map navigation

Be a smooth operator with changes that make your map explorations frictionless. We've improved the animation performance, so that you can navigate more smoothly between groups, roles, and zoom levels.

The page summary now includes authorship and creation details

Before opening a Page, you can click on its menu button to read and edit its summary. Inside the summary, you'll now see additional file information including the creation date and the original author.

Visualize your big goals neatly

We believe in your ability to reach your most ambitious goals, so we made sure that your map can visualize large numbers properly. For example, if you want to sell 1'000'000'000 paper clips, we now shorten such large numbers so that it's easily readable (1B paper clips).

Un-mirror roles within the role editor

Disconnect a role from mirrored roles directly from the role editor. This can be helpful if you want to add extra responsibilities to the Leader role of your research group but don't necessarily want to add it to all other mirrored roles across the organization. Now you can un-mirror the research group Leader and future changes will no longer affect the other Leader roles.

Allow Guests to see the full picture

Share your map with invited Guests while keeping your data anonymized for public Visitors. If you've chosen to anonymize personal data for Visitors, Visitors will only see blurred profile images and unrecognizable names, whereas logged in Guests will see personal data. As an Owner or Editor, you can manage who sees what by modifying a peer's access rights on the peer profile.

Hide or display your network connections on the fly

You can overlay additional information in your map by turning on map layers. We added the Network app as a map layer so you can hide or display your suppliers, partners, clients, affiliates, or sister organizations.

Make representative roles stand out more

By marking a role as a representative, the role becomes spherical instead of flat. In addition, representative roles are now automatically placed at the touchpoint of the parent group, making it even easier to spot them. This is useful for sociocratic organizations who set Leader and Delegate roles as representatives (double-linking), but can also be used in traditional hierarchies to highlight manager roles.

Introducing the Pages App

The Pages App allows you to document and share information with the whole team. Create formatted documents with text and images. It's the perfect place to share important references (e.g. handbooks, policies, principles). Work on a page in private mode and publish to the team when ready.

New map layout: nest roles only

In the map layout settings you can change how you visualize your organization. Previously you could nest groups and roles or spread them out (not nested). Now there is a hybrid visual: unpack role groups, but leave the roles nested in the external most groups.

New vocabulary alternatives for "groups"

In the Map Settings, you can customize Peerdom vocabulary to fit your culture. We've added two commonly used terms for groups of roles: pods and bubbles.

API: Query Filtering and Contributions

Get even more data. You can now query peers, roles or groups (circles) to return custom field entries. What's more, you can query, create, and update Contributions (if you have activated the App in the App Store).

API: Add, update, and delete peers

You can now modify your peer directory from outside of Peerdom! Use the API to add peers, update peer details, or to remove a peer from your Peerdom directory.

API: Identify mirrored roles

When reading a role description through the API, you can now determine if the role has been mirrored.

Custom fields redesigned on the peer profile

Want to add a little more personal information? You can add custom fields to the peer profile in the organization settings section "Custom fields". Profile custom fields are now displayed in the profile header as information boxes.

Request an API key from organization settings page

If you'd like to connect your Peerdom data to other digital tools, request an API key through "API keys" section on the organization settings page.

Shortcut menu now available on the entire map!

Pro tip: You can right click anywhere on your map (and now, even outside your organization) to bring up a shortcut menu with quick actions relevant to your context.

A fresh organization settings panel

All important settings for your Peerdom organization can now be found in a single, easy-to-navigate settings page. Browse the settings or visit our support page to learn about how to configure Peerdom to fit your organization's unique needs.

Highlighted search results

Search results are now highlighted in the context where they were found. Shave seconds off of each search, as your eyes are immediately drawn to the information that matters.

Support documentation is here!

The Peerdom Learning Center is now live and includes videos, product documentation and other resources to guide your explorations. Happy learning.

Snappier feedback

We've done some plumbing work, and for those of you using the Feedback App, you'll see significant boost in Peerdom's performance!

Unlimited free Guests

Leave no person unmapped! Add unlimited, free Guest accounts to your organization. Map all your external providers, partners, freelancers, or part-time employees who do not need Peerdom's full feature set. Note that Guest accounts can only access the role map and have limited features.

A performance and security boost

After months of meticulous work behind the scenes, Peerdom developers successfully performed a major upgrade to our codebase, coupling it with several performance boosting enhancements. The Feedback and Journal Apps are now noticably faster, and our core product is now stronger than ever. Now Peerdom is on stable grounding for another year of new features and improvements!

A more intelligent search and cleaner results

When searching for several terms, you'll now see additional relevant results. The results are also easier to read: search terms are made bold, and you can instantly see the result's context (e.g. found your term within the Responsibilities of a Role).

A deeper search

Peerdom search now looks within role group descriptions. Results will appear for information inside responsibilities, notes, and more as defined at the group level.

Peerdom API is here

The Peerdom API is finally here! Grab the nearest tech-savvy person in your organisation, and they'll be able to read your data from Peerdom, in order to use it in other contexts. For example, you might import role descriptions into another software or view your list of Peerdom Projects in another digital tool. Check our API documentation.

Synchronize custom data from your external directory

If you're synchronizing your Peerdom peer directory to an external directory (e.g. Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace), you can now automatically import additional peer information from the directory. For example, you may import a peer's phone number or geographic region.

Quickly assign role holders

Did you know you can right click on your map for shortcuts? Now you can quickly assign a role holder by right clicking on a role and selecting "Assign role holders".

View your organisation in three dimensions

Space: the final frontier. We're excited to now offer a 3-dimensional spatial layout of your org map, so you can see your organisation in ways you've never seen it before.

Browse your peers by name

In the peer dropdown you have an overview of all individuals in your organisation. These names are now sorted alphabetically.

Priority loading to important information

When loading your map, you now see the important data first and a visual indicator of areas still loading. This leads to faster map reading experience!

Rounding of contributions on mirrored roles

Contribution percentages for mirrored roles are now clean and accurate, rounded for easy reading.

Vacant roles appear striped - when it matters

When building your first map, all roles appear striped - indicating they are currently vacant. While useful to spot staffing gaps, this can be visually noisy in the beginning. We've made it so that striped (empty) roles only appear when you've assigned at least one peer to a role.

Spot your colleagues without photos

Photos give your profile and map life. For those who haven't uploaded a profile photo, we've made it easier to spot them. Names are now abbreviated to four letters, and a color is assigned to their avatar.

Guests can now search too

We've extended the available features for free Guest accounts, starting with the ability to search the map for peers, role titles, and groups.

Even contributions

In some cases, role contributions (Contribution App) would be displayed too precisely - with too many decimal places. We've rounded this up so that it's easy and intuitive to read contributions.

Full anonymisation of peers available for public maps

Did you know you can make your map public and share your beautiful map with your partners, clients, suppliers, and the world? You can now also fully anonymise the personal information of your peers and navigate to anonymised profiles.

Navigate with speed and security

We spent the summer speeding up Peerdom and squashing out various bugs - getting ready for a solid start to autumn.

Freshly designed emails

Peerdom occasionally sends you important notifications via email. These communications are now sexier, more legible, and more actionable.

More powerful search looks inside role & group descriptions

Search for keywords that appear in role and group descriptions. For example, find a role with a particular responsibility or a peer with a certain role focus. The new search engine provides a wider range of results to help you instantly find what you're looking for across Peerdom.

Set your map layout to expanded circle view and add connecting lines

Choose the expanded circles visualisation in the "View as" dropdown menu above the map and expand the view with the line option.

Archive or delete an organisation (if you are its Owner)

Do you have organisations in your list that you no longer need? Simply go to the Organisation Settings to either archive the organisation, keeping its data safely stored away for re-use later, or choose to permanently delete it.

Try the Insights App

We are excited to introduce the Insights App - a new way to discover what's happening behind the scenes in your organisation. Visualise the roles in your organisation with the greatest or least role turnover. The role turnover insight overlays a heat map that indicates how frequently role holders are leaving each role. Use this information to focus attention on roles with the largest impact on employee retention.

More performant loading of the Peer Profile

We have revisited and optimised peer profile loading so that you can see the most relevant information even sooner.

Peer activity shows on the peer profile

Find out how active your peers are on Peerdom by checking out their visit count on their peer profile.

Keep track of how many unpaid guest accounts you have left

You get 20 free Guest accounts for your organisation. We help you to keep track of the numbers: When giving a peer Guest access rights, the dialogue shows how many free guest accounts you have left.

Visual indicator of email verification

Find out at one glance if a peer has verified their email address. Peers who have verified their email address, or logged in via SSO, now have a green circle around their avatar in the peer dropdown menu.

Set your map layout in the dropdown menu

Choose how you want to see your organisation. The "View as" dropdown menu above the map shows you options including nested circles, expanded circles or a list view.

See your organisation in new ways

Here's to seeing your organisation in a way you haven't seen it before: You can now expand roles outward, by turning off circle nesting. This new "expanded" visual is how many Sociocracy organisations prefer to see their organisation. Turn off circle nesting to see your organisation from a fresh perspective.

Introducing the Insights App: Find unstable roles by visualising role turnover

Introducing the Insights App! Discover patterns and make data-driven decisions. The first available insight colors your roles according to the frequency at which people are leaving them (role turnover). The Insights App will automatically turn on Journal App.

Insights App: Role fluctuation in the list view

Yet another way to see your organisation. Role turnover is also available on the list view with the same same warm to cold tones as on your map.

A glow up for the warning prompts

The notification prompts are among the oldest elements and needed a visual update. They now got a fresh look so they pop even more and guarantee you never loose an important piece of information.

A visual refresh for the list view

The list view was in need of some visual polish and now shines with its new look. You can seemlessly swap back and forth between list and circle views while inspecting the same role or group. Never lose context!

Personalise the product wording

Peerdom can be customised to fit any organisational design, and its vocabulary can be tailored accordingly. Choose from several terms for how you call peers, groups, roles, and representatives in the organisation settings.

Call your peers contributors

Tell us what organisational form you are using, and we support the appropriate terminology. We have added "contributor" as another term to refer to your colleagues.

Add Goals from the global action menu

Less steps to set a new goal: When the goals app is activated, Editors or Owners can add a new goal "+ New..." menu.

Traffic light confidence votes for Goals are here

How sure are you that you can reach your goals? Cast your confidence vote and see overall team confidence with a simple traffic light system: high, medium or low.

Update of the global product wording

Peerdom is not bound to a specific organisational style such as Holacracy or Sociocracy. To keep agnostic, we have renamed "circles" to "groups".

Take quick action with a right-click menu

Edit your map in two clicks! By right clicking on a role or group, you can now directly shortcut to editing the description, moving or copying.

Draft actions are listed in a simple pop-up menu

With more and more actions becoming possible for drafts, we now list your options in a simple and intuitive pop-up menu. Quickly duplicate or publish a draft, or spin-off a new organisation - in just two clicks.

Update goals simultaneously for all mirrored roles

When you attach goals to a mirrored role, updates are synchronised to all roles mirrored with it. To avoid unexpected changes to goals on the mirrored roles, we now ask to confirm your updates when you change mirrored role goals.

Clarifying how SSO-connected organisations can let peers go

Connecting your employee database to Peerdom via SSO is an easy way to maintain a single employee database. If one of your peers leaves the organisation, we make it clear that you need to manage with through your internal database team - not through Peerdom.

Goal progress is easy to track

You can now easily track progress with subgoal milestone markers. Overall progress is now represented by a single, easy-to-read percentage.

Offboard peers by letting them go

When one of your colleagues moves on to the next adventure, you can now "Let the peer go". This marks them as no longer working at your organisation. She or he will be removed from the peer dropdown and unassigned from all roles. However, their data remains in Peerdom in order to keep your organisational history intact.

Smooth Single-Sign-On integration

Connect to your employee database with ease: For organisations who synchronise their employee directories and connect to Peerdom by SSO, we've improved the experience with connection testing, feedback loops, and faster synchronisation.

Revoke Peerdom access for peers

Maybe you'd like to add a peer to the map but don't want to provide access to Peerdom yet. Or maybe you'd like to revoke Peerdom access for an individual. Both are now possible by changing a peer's access rights category to "No access".

Smarter data loading for better performance

We've significantly sped up the loading of your Peerdom. Even if you have a complex map, you can now navigate it almost immediately!

Zooming out made even easier

In Peerdom you can easily navigate from by clicking on the role or place of the map you would like to see. Looking at a role up close? Click "zoom out" to get back to the map overview.

Only owner can create a new organisation from within an organisation

You can create a new organisation through the global add button. This caused confusion as most peers who clicked on this option created (accidental) organisations. We have simplified the options and left it to owners only to create a new organisation.

Stay informed about important changes to your organisation settings

Peerdom allows you to choose how much information you share with the world. Owners now receive an email when a peer modifies these organisation settings: public visibility, its Peerdom link, data anonymisation or the sharing of private links.

The Journal timeline shows events from the Goals App

If you have both the Journal and Contribution app activated, the Journal history now displays Goal events. The events involve the creation of a new goal, the removal of a goal, and updates to goals that lead to its completion.

Define a date range for goals

What better way to make sure you reach your goals than a deadline? We added a DATE FROM as well as a DATE TO to goals, and on top show the days left until DATE TO is reached.

Permissions to add yourself to a public organisation

We have recently added the ability to "directly add yourself as a peer". We made sure that only map creators have permissions to add themselves as a peer to a public organisation.

Adding yourself to another organisation just got easier

We've made it easier to add yourself as a peer to a new organisation. If you create a new, independent organisation, you can go to the peer drop down menu and directly add yourself as a peer.

Visual contribution bar on your profile

If you activate the Contribution app, everyone gets a visual contribution bar on their peer profile. This bar shows the sum of your contribution across roles compared to your total available contribution.

New App: Goals

Align and motivate your team by adding strategic goals to roles and role groups. Track your progress towards achievement across the whole organisation with a visual overview on your map.

A personal journal for each peer

For organisations with the Journal App enabled, each peer profile now includes a personalised history of all activity for that peer.

A full role holding history is available

A few releases ago, the Journal App was updated to include previous roles on one's peer profile. The previous role section has been expanded to include roles which no longer exist on your live map.

Journal app includes Contribution changes

Get your whole team up to speed on time commitment changes. In addition to announcing when a role was taken on or left, the Journal now also highlights contribution changes in roles.

A new look for the App Store

The App pages in our App Store got a new look. Get a better idea of what each App adds to your personal Peerdom map with the top functionalities listed.

Previously held roles are on the peer profile

Relive and learn from one's unique path through the roles they've previously held. Just visit a peer's profile and expand the new "Previously held roles" section to see one's historical contributions to your organisation.

Overview all peers who hold a mirrored role across the organisation

Mirrored roles are linked together and scattered across your organisation. Now you can see all role holders across the organisation by clicking on the "Mirrored with" link.

Track contribution with a visual bar

A bar on the peer profile indicates if the sum of individual role contributions is more or less than one's total expected contribution. This is useful for tracking if one is overworking or has additional capacity.

Assuring peer profile address anonymisation

We have tightened privacy even further for peer profiles: Visitors who browse an anonymised map cannot figure out a person's name from the profile address.

Flexibly copy and move parts of one map to another

The Drafts App allows you to work on multiple maps at once. Do you like a particular part of your draft design? Copy specific areas of a draft map to the published map. Or the other way around: Copy parts of your live map to any of your drafts!

Choose to copy a role with or without holders

Save yourself some manual work when duplicating a role or circle. When copying a them, you're now able to maintain role holders.

Create a new organisation from a draft

Use your previous learnings and spin-off an entirely new organisation from one of your drafts. Your new organisation will have its own Peerdom link and you as thee initial map owner. Click the (...) on any draft, then select "Publish as new organisation".

Organisation settings in the navigation bar

To make navigation more intuitive, we have added the organisation settings to the navigation sidebar. In the organisation settings, you can update your organisation name, export data, fix how you format names, and much more.

Switch between your organisations

If you have access to more than one Peerdom organisation, you can now simply extend the profile menu and switch to any of your organisations.

Guest accounts have well defined limits

Guest accounts are free in Peerdom. We made these accounts even more useful by allowing Guests to see the Map, role descriptions, and peers without restriction. Guests can also visit any peer's profile and see their full name and picture. They are unable to see other personal information such as birthdate or email.

Change role contributions from your profile

Update how much you contribute to each role directly on your profile. The profile also now highlights roles where you contribute (green) and those where there's no contribution (red). Check the sum of your contributions against your total attendance to balance your workload.

Archive drafts

Time to tidy up your draft desk! Keep your draft space clean by archiving all of those organisation designs that did not make the cut. Don't worry, you can always bring them back later if you wish to unarchive.

Projects are now visualised on the map

All ongoing projects are now drawn directly on the map, surrounding the roles. Clicking on a project reveals the project details and highlights all involved roles.

Export map data

Your data is all yours: Export all data you've ever put into Peerdom. Choose between Excel, CSV or JSON format.

Set your default email client

Does your organisation use Microsoft Outlook? Change your default email client in the organisation settings page to properly format group emails sent from Peerdom to roles and circles.

Added role focus to your peer profile

Your peer profile shows all the roles you hold and now also highlights any role focus you may have on that role.

Peerdom prints pretty

Until now, contributions were only displayed for individual roles. Now you can see the total contribution of all roles in a group (circle).

Configure how you display peer names

How does your team refer to one another? You can now choose how you display peer names in the organisation settings. Choose your favourite order of first, last, and nicknames.

Your contribution in hours and FTE

The Contribution App lets you define percentage involvement per role and per peer. You can now change the contribution type to be measured in hours or FTE (full-time equivalents).

How much does your circle contribute?

Until now, contributions were only displayed for individual roles. Now you can see the total contribution of all roles in a group (circle).

Improving data privacy

We've tightened our safety framework by preventing external backend queries aiming to decipher the names of anonymised Peerdom users.

Your projects on your peer profile

We have expanded your peer profile to include not only your roles and mission statement. Now, you can also view the projects you are working on directly from your personal profile.

The Missions app got a new look

It has been some time since we have brushed up on the Missions app. This release it got some love and here it is with a fresh look.

Projects without members now wear stripes

You only added empty roles to your project and plan to do so later? The projects where you have not assigned role holders yet stand out and remind you that they are still missing.

Sketch out project roles before deciding who contributes

You might know which roles you need in your project, but sometimes you don't know yet who will do it. Now you can add empty roles to a project and choose the role holder later depending on their availability and eagerness.

Select a Project Representative

You can now define a single point of contact for a project. This representative might for example be a project coordinator, leader, or spokesperson.

Tight budget? Limited access guest accounts are here

Peerdom brings your organisation the most value when you map your whole team. For those colleagues that rarely consult Peerdom, we now offer free guest accounts with restricted functionality.

Restricting access to sensitive data

We've improved data privacy by preventing backend queries to return any personal information hidden on anonymised or public maps.

Project groups

The Projects app got some love with this release: Keep your projects organised by putting them into groups.

Drag and drop projects into groups

You've had enough of selecting from drop down menus? Simply drag and drop your projects into the group they belong to.

Looking for a particular role on a peer's profile? You can now sort roles in alphabetical order, or if the Contribution app is enabled, sort by one's contribution percentage.

Anonymise personal data

Making your map public or sharing it via a link exposes names, photos and role assignments. You can now anonymise all personal data by hiding names and blurring photos.
