Getting feedback from temporary clients, supervisors, or external partners shouldn't require creating accounts or extra steps.
With Kitsu's new public playlist sharing, you can send a playlist with a single link and let reviewers jump straight into work.
Guests don't need a Kitsu account to participate. They get access to a dedicated review player where they can leave comments, make annotations, update statuses, and manage checklists on their own feedback.
Inviting reviewers is also simpler: the new email picker suggests existing client contacts, supports entering any email address, and lets you include an optional message with the invitation.
Key benefits:
- Remove friction for external reviewers by eliminating account creation
- Collect clearer, more actionable feedback with annotations and drawing tools
- Keep review conversations and status updates in one place
- Speed up approval cycles with a simple link-based workflow
- Make collaboration easier across clients, vendors, supervisors, and other stakeholders
We've added a new retake-count filter to the Task Type page.
This update lets you quickly filter tasks based on how many times they've been sent back for revision (retakes), to make it easier to identify work that may need additional attention.
Retakes are a valuable signal when reviewing production health:
- Find tasks that have required multiple revisions
- Spot recurring quality or approval issues
- Focus reviews on high-retake work items
- Monitor trends and identify areas where teams may need additional support or clarification
- Build cleaner task lists without manually sorting through results
On the Task Type page, use the new Retakes filter to narrow the task list to tasks that match the number of retakes you're interested in: All Tasks, No Retakes, or With Retakes.
You can now filter by status across all task types with a single filter.
Previously, if you wanted to see every task that was in a specific status like WIP, you had to apply that status filter separately for each task type. It was hard to maintain as the number of task types grew.
With this update, a single status filter works across all task types.
Key benefits:
- Find all tasks in a given status without configuring multiple filters
- Reduce filter complexity and avoid repeating the same condition
- Get a complete view of work in a particular state, regardless of task type
- Quickly identify all in-progress, blocked, or review-ready work across the entire project
We've added a new way to control whether comments are shared with clients.
When writing a comment, supervisors and producers will now see a
"Visible to clients"
toggle in the comment editor. Comments that are shared externally are clearly marked with a visibility tag, and visibility can be changed later from the comment menu.Any visibility changes are reflected in client-facing views immediately, so clients see updates in real time without needing to refresh.
Key benefits:
* Keep internal discussions private while sharing relevant updates with clients
* Reduce duplication by turning an existing comment into a client-visible update instead of rewriting it elsewhere
* Make visibility status easy to understand at a glance with clear tagging
* Ensure clients always see the latest approved information as soon as it's shared
We've improved comment drafts so they now persist both your written text and any checklist items you're still working on.
Previously, if you switched tasks or refreshed the page while drafting a comment, you could lose progress on an unfinished checklist. Now, Kitsu automatically saves the entire draft so you can return exactly where you left off.
Key benefits:
- Prevents lost work when navigating between tasks
- Makes it easier to draft detailed feedback over time
- Preserves checklist progress while gathering information or reviewing other tasks
- Creates a smoother workflow when interruptions happen
Getting a new production set up often means repeating the same configuration steps over and over like choosing task types for shots and assets, defining task statuses, and adjusting project-wide settings to match your team's workflow.
With Project Templates, you can start from a predefined setup in one click.
When creating a new production, simply pick a template and Kitsu will automatically apply your preferred settings.
Key benefits:
- Skip repetitive configuration work and get productions running sooner
- Ensure every project follows the same standards and structure
- Reduce the risk of missing or misconfiguring important settings
- Create new projects with confidence as your team and client portfolios grow

Login Logs
We've added Login Logs to give administrators better visibility into account access across their organization.
Administrators can now view a history of user logins, including who logged in and when. The log supports filtering by date and person to investigate specific activity, and includes pagination for navigating larger datasets.
Key benefits:
- Improve security oversight by tracking account access over time
- Audit user activity when reviewing security incidents or compliance requirements
- Troubleshoot access issues by confirming whether and when a user successfully logged in
- Find information faster with filters that narrow results to specific users or time periods
- Scale to larger teams with pagination that keeps login history easy to browse
The
Production Schedule
just got more flexible! 📊You can now schedule more entities, such as sequences and edits, alongside your existing shots and assets.
This means you can:
• Plan and track entire sequences within your schedule 🧩
• Align sequence-level planning with shot and asset timelines
• Get a clearer, more complete view of your production
A more unified way to plan your production. ✅
We’ve added a few improvements to make managing authentication and security easier for studios. 🛡️
🔹 You can now see which users have 2FA enabled directly from the People page, thanks to a small 2FA icon displayed next to their name
🔹 Studios can now enforce 2FA for all users through an organization-level configuration
These updates give administrators better visibility and control over account security across their teams. 🔑✅
Kitsu now allows plugins to be added directly to project menus! 🧩
This means custom plugins can be integrated into the interface and accessed from the same menus you already use every day.
🔹 Create custom plugins tailored to your studio workflow
🔹 Add plugin pages directly to your project menu
🔹 Give teams quick access to internal tools without leaving Kitsu
For example, you could build a plugin that lets users create production tickets directly from Kitsu, making it easy to connect your pipeline tools with your production data. ⚙️🎬
