## What is Clippn Dashboard?

Clippn Dashboard is the field tool for news contributors. Film it, file it, send it — straight from your phone to the newsroom.

It is built for the conditions journalists actually work in: a weak cellular signal at the edge of an event, a phone that rings mid-transfer, a train going into a tunnel. The upload keeps going, and picks up where it left off.

SEND FOOTAGE FROM THE FIELD
• Pick clips from your camera roll and send them as one package
• Add the detail the newsroom needs: description, location, date shot, notes
• Set an embargo, or file on behalf of another contributor
• Notify your assignment editor when the package lands

UPLOADS THAT SURVIVE THE REAL WORLD
• Transfers continue while the app is in the background or the phone is locked
• Lose signal and it pauses, then resumes on its own when you are back
• Close the app, or run out of battery — resume from where the server actually got to, not from zero
• Watch progress per file, with an honest speed and time estimate
• On a slow link, progress is shown in kilobytes so you can see it moving

KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU SENT
• Every package with its status, files and rating
• Search and filter your upload history
• Live Activity on the Lock Screen while a package is in flight

FOR EDITORS AND MANAGERS
• See uploads as they happen across all contributors
• Outcome statistics over any period, with drill-down to the packages behind each number
• Per-upload detail for triage: timings, transfer speeds, per-file progress and status history

An account is required. Accounts are created by your newsroom's administrator — the app is for accredited contributors and newsroom staff.

ABOUT
Clippn Dashboard is developed and published by Forge Media (Forgesoft Limited) as the iOS client for the Clippn platform. Clippn is a trademark of Clippn Inc.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2.1.1 — 2026-09-23

What's new

• Embargo date and time – set exactly when footage can be published. Pick the day and the time, and the app shows which time zone it uses.
• Embargoed packages stand out – a red outline and an "Embargoed till" tag on the package card, plus the embargo on the package details.
• Package cards now show who uploaded the package and any feedback it received.
• Easier upload for another contributor – search the list by name or email.
• Simpler date pickers – Date shot and the uploads filter dates close as soon as you pick a day.

Fixes

• Embargo and shot dates are now saved at the exact time you choose, whatever your time zone.
• The embargo date and contributor fields can be edited again on newer iOS versions.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-09-03

Search and filtering in Upload History
• Find a package by name with the new search box.
• Narrow the list by region, country and date range.
• Active filters appear as chips — remove them one at a time, or clear them all at once.

Clearer package cards
• Ratings now sit beside the package name.
• The status line no longer wraps onto a second row.

Loading you can actually see
• A consistent loading indicator wherever the app is fetching — signing in, opening a page, or applying a filter.
• Filter results no longer arrive out of order, so the list always matches the filters you set.

User management, for managers and admins
• Failures explain themselves: a duplicate email address, a role you are not allowed to assign, or an account that exists in only one system.
• You are told when a welcome email could not be delivered, and the temporary password is shown when one is issued.
• Being refused an action you do not have permission for no longer signs you out.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-08-27

No release notes.
