Hey There!

We’ve been working on a new design for our control panel and we’re glad to unveil the first redesigned feature today — A Progress bar for snapshot restores!

As seen in the above gif, we’ve added a progress bar to the interface to make snapshot restores clearer and more informative, giving you a good idea of what's happening within the restore process.

This progress bar will appear on the interface when any snapshot restore task is issued and update itself as the restore progresses ahead.

The above feature will be available in the coming days for all users in the control panel. We'll post an additional update here once it's available.

Stay tuned for more previews to come soon of the other new redesigned parts of the interface!

Hey There!

We’re happy to announce a new feature in CrownPanel to help make managing snapshots easier, The panel now supports adding/setting names to Snapshots.

Naming a Snapshots is a very useful feature, for example,

• If you have multiple snapshots, it would be ideal to name each.
• If you run multiple versions of software, you can name the snapshot with the version it contains

and many more usage scenarios where having a user-defined name on a snapshot would be very useful.

When you click on the dropdown marker, you are presented with 2 options,

• Edit Snapshot Name
• Remove Snapshot

As the name suggests, Edit Snapshot Name offers you the ability to set a user-defined name for a snapshot, for example, “My First Snapshot”,

The user interface for Edit Snapshot Name appears as shown below,

To add a Name to the Snapshots,

Select option “Edit Snapshot Name” and the text has a maximum allowed length of 32 alphanumeric characters.

And click the button “Update Snapshot Name” to name the snapshot.

In the above screenshot, you can see the example name “NewSnapshot” has been set on the snapshot we just created.

And you can also set a Snapshot Name when the snapshot is building as well.

To Remove a Snapshot,

Select the option “Remove Snapshot” as shown in the screenshot below,

And clicking the “Remove Snapshot” will remove the Snapshot as shown in the screenshot.

Stay tuned for further updates!

We've redesigned our SSH Key Management interface!

The new interface provides a cleaner layout for users with multiple SSH Keys.

We hope this change improves your experience working with our control panel, this change is live for all users.

Please feel free to send us any feedback and/or suggestions via a client area ticket.

Thank you.
