1.2. Recycle bin

Major feature in the release is “Recycle bin”, there were no option in Yodiz to recover manually the items which were deleted by accident, now you can see the items which are deleted and able to recover it, recover items is now put it back to the same place from which it was deleted, recovered items will have different IDs, we are planning to enhance this feature that i will include in title the older ID with a label Recovered, so its easier to identify the items which are recovered from recycling bin.

1.6. Copy invitation link and sharing manually

When inviting new user, an invitation is sent to user email address. Sometimes, in rare cases email could be delayed or blocked by some ISPs. Now you you can copy invitation link  and send it directly to users. This is very useful in case the auto email for new user invitation is not delivered successfully.
