  • 🔎 Easier navigation and search! We've rebuilt the sidebar menu from scratch to be easier to use, faster and more intuitive. We've also made it easier to switch to "device search" if you have a large device list. 
  • 🏎 Faster! The device list should now load 30-50% faster for most users. We've also made a handful of other optimizations that should make using the portal even faster!
  • 👤 Improve account section! We've completely rebuilt the account section and made it more much more intuitive and faster to load. 
  • 🧭 Navigation support! We now support URL navigation for all pages so if you reload or bookmark a page you will get sent right back to where you were!
  • 🎉 Lots more! We made so many improvements and optimizations that there are too many to list. 

We hope you enjoy this latest release! You will see the web portal continue to get better and better over time. We would love to hear your feedback and suggestions, email us at support@remote.it!
