The past few releases revolved around backend updates, slight UI/UX changes, boring SDK updates and future-state preparation to provide our collabers an improved experience for the long term, so below, we’ve condensed these notes.  

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.
