1.2.0 - 2026-08-09
What’s new since 1.1.0 - Success Measures turn a brief’s goals into numbers HIVE keeps up to date, and TikTok joins the platforms you can connect. The posts you publish outside HIVE now appear in it too, and LinkedIn posts can carry a PDF document.
New features
Section titled “New features”- Success Measures for briefs and objectives. Put a measurable target on a strategic brief or an objective, and HIVE keeps the number up to date from your connected channels, or you track a figure of your own. A new Measures tab in Analytics gathers them all in one place. See Success Measures.
- TikTok is now available to connect. Publish videos, follow your account’s performance alongside your other platforms, and have your existing public videos brought into HIVE. See Connect TikTok.
- Imported posts. Posts you publish straight on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or TikTok now appear in HIVE beside the ones you published through it, with their own stats and a link to the original. YouTube isn’t included. See Imported posts.
- PDF document posts on LinkedIn. A PDF added to a LinkedIn post publishes as the swipeable document LinkedIn shows in the feed, rather than a file to download. See Document posts.
Improvements
Section titled “Improvements”- Reached audience in Instagram demographics. Alongside your followers, Analytics now shows the people your posts reached over the last 7 or 30 days, by age, gender and country. See Reached audience demographics.
- A post and its conversation side by side in the Unified Inbox. A published post opens beside its comments, with the threads still awaiting a reply counted, so you can answer without leaving the post. Selecting a comment in the inbox opens the post it was left on. See Open a post and its conversation.
- A link back to the platform on every published post, in its preview and in the latest posts on the External home. Where a link isn’t available yet, HIVE now says why instead of showing nothing. See Tracking your posts.
- Follower history when you connect. Connecting Instagram or LinkedIn fills your Audience Growth chart with real follower history instead of starting flat: about a year for LinkedIn and 30 days for Instagram. Instagram’s reach and engagement charts fill with daily history too. See How connecting works.
- TikTok analytics refresh every hour, the same as your other platforms, instead of once a day. See Connect TikTok.
- You can see history arriving. A newly connected account shows on Connect Platforms whether HIVE is still collecting its history, and names anything that didn’t come through. Analytics says so too while it’s in progress, so a figure that can still change isn’t mistaken for a settled one. See Watching history arrive.
- Carry a strategic brief into the next quarter. A duplicated brief keeps its content, KPI targets and objective link and moves to the next free quarter, so a new cycle starts from the last one. See Carry a brief into the next quarter.
Bugfixes
Section titled “Bugfixes”- Some emoji appeared as empty boxes on devices or browsers without a matching emoji font. They now display everywhere. See Getting Started.
- Days with no data were shown as zero on the Engagement & Reach chart and in its CSV and PDF exports. They now read as missing rather than as a real zero. See The trend charts.
- Filtering the trend charts to one channel could leave the all-channel figures on screen under that channel’s title. See The trend charts.
- The Audience Growth chart’s dates didn’t line up with the Engagement & Reach chart, so the two couldn’t be read against each other. See The trend charts.
- Instagram comments on your own posts could also appear under Mentions. Mentions now covers only what someone tags you in on their own content. See Comments and Mentions.
- Opening a deleted post lost its conversation. Its comments now stay readable. See Open a post and its conversation.
- A published TikTok video could carry a link that didn’t work. HIVE now uses the link TikTok provides. See Tracking your posts.
