We're excited to announce that we've added a new "recycle bin" feature for handling deleted devices. Now, when you delete a device, it will move to the built-in "Deleted Devices" group so that you can easily restore it in the future if needed. Devices in the "Deleted Devices" group do not count towards your active devices with regards to billing.
To delete a device, navigate to the device's configuration page, then click the "Delete Device" link at the top of the page. You'll be prompted to confirm the action.
If you navigate to the Devices page, you'll see a new built-in group called "Deleted Devices." The device you just deleted should show up there. Note that the main Dashboard does not show the "Deleted Devices" group.
To restore the device, you can either drag the device from the "Deleted Devices" group and drop it on another group, or you can click "Undelete Device" on the device's configuration page.
To permanently delete the device, click the "Permanently Delete this Device" link on the device's configuration page.
We're very excited to announce a feature upgrade for the Audio Player app! You can now configure a playlist of audio files to rotate through.
To get started with the Audio Player app, first upload some audio files on the Content page.
Next, add the Audio Player app to one of your devices.
In the Audio Player configuration dialog, click "Add Audio File," then choose the audio files you'd like to add to the playlist. If you need to change the order of the audio files, you can select one or more in the list and then click "Move Up" or "Move Down" to adjust their positions.
When you're finished configuring the list of audio files, click the green "Save" button, and you're all set! If the changes don't show up on your device immediately, click the "Reload Content Frames" link at the top of the device page to force a refresh.
We're very excited to announce a feature upgrade for the Custom URL app! You can now configure a list of websites to rotate through on a set interval. Using this you can now rotate through websites in a single large frame, rather than trying to fit a bunch of smaller Custom URL frames on one display.
To configure the URL slideshow, first, add a Custom URL app to your CloudShow device.
In the Custom URL configuration dialog, click "Add Website URL," paste in the URL, then click the green "Add Website URL" button. Repeat this process for any other websites you'd like to add to the list.
To configure how long you want each website to be shown, specify the interval in minutes. The default is 15 minutes, but you can set it as low as 1 minute.
When you're finished configuring the list of websites and the interval, click the green "Save" button, and you're all set! If the changes don't show up on your device immediately, click the "Reload Content Frames" link at the top of the device page to force a refresh.

The CheckCentral API provides an endpoint for creating checks programmatically. All of the configuration options are available through the API, detailed below. To create a new check through the API, you will require an API token for your organization with Read/Write access. Organization administrators can create tokens through the API portal on your dashboard.
The endpoint is located at https://api.checkcentral.cc/createCheck/?apiToken=APITOKEN where the APITOKEN placeholder is replaced with your valid token. The request must be made with the Content-Type header set to application/json. The body of the request should contain as many of the properties listed below as required to define the check. Any properties not passed will be set to their default value.

We're very excited to announce that ClipboardFusion 5.5 is now available for download! We've fixed a few bugs, improved the way our servers talk to ClipboardFusion, and added a new Macro function for a listview box with filtering capabilities!
We encourage everyone to update to the new version today to take advantage of these improvements.

We would also like to thank all of the translators who have helped translate ClipboardFusion to their native languages.
CloudShow now supports uploading content from 3 new online sources: Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive! Using the all-new upload source selector you can choose where you upload your content from.
As before you can still upload content from your computer, and CloudShow now supports multiple file uploads at once. Just ctrl+click multiple files to select more than one and upload them at the same time.
If you store your files in Dropbox for work or personal use, CloudShow can access them now. You just need to authorize CloudShow to connect to your Dropbox account (as read-only) then just browse to the files you need.
If you use Google Drive to store your media files, CloudShow can now download them into your content section. Once you authorize CloudShow to connect to your Google Drive account (as read-only) your files are just a few clicks away.
If you're a Microsoft OneDrive user, you're in luck! CloudShow can now pull content from your OneDrive account into your CloudShow content. Simply authorize CloudShow to access your OneDrive files (as read-only) and you're all set.
Uploading files to your CloudShow content area is now easier than ever. Check out the new upload providers today!
If you have websites that you're in charge of maintaining the SSL certificates for, you can monitor them for expiring certificates using this PowerShell script. The script can be run from anywhere, as it connects to the public URL for the website, and it will email the results wherever you like. You can set it up to email yourself, or you can configure it to email the results to CheckCentral so that you can automate the status parsing.
As always, if you run into any trouble configuring your Checks, please feel free to contact us and we'll be glad to help out.
