Add an extra layer of security to your Canny account with two-factor authentication (2FA).
For admins
Turn on 2FA anytime in your security preferences using any authenticator app. You'll also be offered setup at your next login. It's optional unless your team requires it.
For owners
image
  • Require 2FA for every admin on your team in team settings
  • If an admin loses access to their authenticator, reset their 2FA from the same page
Good to know
  • End users aren't affected
  • Teams using Okta, OIDC, or OneLogin skip 2FA since your identity provider already handles it
Two-factor authentication is available on all plans.

Feedback

Autopilot

Feedback types for Autopilot

Autopilot already captures feature requests from your sources like Intercom, Slack, and Gong. Now it can also capture bugs, pricing feedback, and usability issues. Empower new workflows by identifying new types of feedback.
Each idea Autopilot creates is tagged with its type, so you can filter your views and focus on one kind of feedback at a time.
image
Feedback types
  • New feature:
    New capabilities and enhancements
  • Bug:
    Something not working as expected
  • Pricing:
    Cost, model, and packaging
  • Usability:
    Friction using existing features
How it works
  1. Go to your Autopilot settings
  2. Toggle on the feedback types you want Autopilot to extract
  3. As Autopilot processes new feedback, it tags each idea with a type
New teams start with all feedback types turned on. Existing teams can turn on new types anytime.
Feedback types are available on all plans.
Here are two update for the ideas tab: quickly send ideas to your project management tool and segment your views to focus on a specific group of customers.
Action fields
Instead of opening individual ideas to action on them, action fields allow you to do so from the table.
image
Supported actions
  • Move idea (as a sub-idea)
  • Merge duplicate feedback
  • Push to your connected project management tools
From any ideas view, open the fields drawer and toggle on the action fields you want. You'll see that field as a column in your table and can do the action inline.
Action fields are available on all plans.
Segmentation
Apply a segment to any ideas view to focus on a specific group of customers, like enterprise accounts or companies with renewal risk. From any ideas view, click on the segment dropdown and choose the segment you want to apply.
With a segment applied, the view only shows ideas with feedback from companies in that segment. ARR, user count, company count, and insight count all recalculate for the segment, along with any scores built on top of them.
image
Notes
  • Only company-based segments can be applied
  • Ideas with no insights from the segment are hidden from the view
Segmentation is available on the Pro plan and above.

No need to leave the conversation. You can also modify fields like the owner and status.
Create users and companies
If a user or company doesn't exist in Canny yet, create them from Slack.

Ideas

View sharing

You can now control who can see and edit views in Canny Ideas. This is built for larger teams with many view and admins.
How it works
By default, the owner of a view is the user who created it. New views start out private to their owner. Existing views before this update are unchanged and are editable by any admins with view edit permissions.
Open the view's menu by clicking or right-clicking the selected tab, then choose Share.
share-1
From there you can add individual teammates, set general or team access, and pick an access level for each. Teams are groups of admins and can be managed here.
share-2
Access levels
  • Owner: Full control, including sharing and deletion
  • Can edit: Change the view's name, filters, columns, and sort
  • Can see: Open and use the view. Any changes are not saved.
Good to know
  • The default "All Ideas" and "Portal" views are always shared with the entire team
  • Admin roles and permissions takes precedence over view share settings. Therefore, contributor-level admins will not be able to edit view.
View sharing is available for teams on the Business plan.
Reporting in Canny has gotten a big upgrade in the last couple weeks! The Reporting tab has a fresh look and is now organized into sections: Ideas, Autopilot, and Portal. Each tab opens with an overview and has a global date range picker so you can scope every tab to a specific time period.
