Early Access v0.112 & v0.113 Patch Notes
April 9, 2021 - This week’s release notes feature a combination of changes that we’re incredibly excited to share with you. All in all, we’ve pushed more than 75 changes in the past 2 releases and can’t wait for you to test them out. We know that it’s been a bumpy ride, but thank you for sticking it out with us, as Color Collab is a complete custom build from the ground up.. no template to reference.
As always we seek your feedback and look forward to your continued critiques (as kindly as possible, please 😉) as we work to bring you ongoing improvements and polish Color Collab into the coloring book you all deserve.
To improve your access to our team and receive faster responses, we invite you to join our Discord community where you can share your collabs, interact with others in the community and engage with our team.
