ClickUp has just announced the release of Conditional Logic in Form View. This feature allows you to create forms with conditional logic, making it easier to collect and organize data efficiently. Let's look at the benefits of Conditional Logic in Forms and how it can help you streamline your workflow.

Forms are a great way to collect data, but they can quickly become overwhelming if there are too many questions. With Conditional Logic in Forms, users can create forms that are tailored to their specific needs. This means that questions can be added or removed depending on the answers provided by users in their previous question.

For example, if you are creating a form to collect information about a job applicant, you can use conditional logic to only display questions that are relevant to the position they are applying for. This can save time for both the applicant and the person reviewing the form, as they do not have to answer unnecessary questions.

Conditional Logic in Forms helps reduce errors and improve accuracy. By only displaying questions that are relevant, users are less likely to make mistakes when filling out the form. Additionally, because the data is organized in a more meaningful way, it is easier to spot any errors or inconsistencies.

Conditional Logic in Forms is an excellent addition to ClickUp. It allows you to create customized forms that are tailored to your specific needs, making it easier to collect and organize data efficiently. With this feature, you can save time, reduce errors, and improve accuracy, making it an invaluable tool.

There are tons of reasons why someone might find themselves in need of changing the look of folders. Whether they’re an aesthete who needs their folders to match wallpaper or a perfectionist who needs proper organization even on the desktop. Whoever it is, they already know that customizing folders on Mac is more difficult than it ought to be.

Not anymore.

Folder Colorizer 1.5 makes it effortless to change folder color, and not just for aesthetics. The colorized folder icons serve a functional purpose as well, making it easier and quicker for users to find the specific folders among baby-blue ones. And 1.5 version comes with a wide range of new features — a 3.1 million collection of images that could be set as folder background and an enlarged decals gallery. The app searches the libraries of Pixabay, Pexels, and Unsplash to find the perfect images for each folder, based on the keyword presented to it. Alternatively, pre-built color, emojis, images, and decals galleries can be browsed with ease. A delightful ‘Perform Magic’ algorithm acts as an AI magic wand — it scans the folder name and displays the best-fitting images, emojis & decals.

Every folder created by Folder Colorizer syncs across all Macs — it keeps its style when transferred to another Mac or external drive, including iCloud and shared folders. With over 10 million colors, 3 million images, 3500 emojis, and 120 decals, Folder Colorizer 1.5 has everything to customize Mac folders in a trillion ways making the folders really unique and personal. And for those who prefer to have the same design for all folders, there’s an option to color all of them at once. Folder Colorizer 1.5 tracks any step of creating folder icons, so users can undo and redo folders designs and it’s possible to reset folders to the original baby-blue look even any time.

In today's digital age, communication is key, and writing is an essential skill for success. Whether you're a student, a professional, or a creative writer, the way you express yourself in writing can make a significant impact on your audience. However, crafting effective and compelling writing is easier said than done. That's where ProWritingAid's Rephrase tool comes in.

The Rephrase tool is an AI-powered feature that helps you improve your writing by suggesting alternative phrasings for your sentences. This innovative tool analyzes your text and highlights words and phrases that can be improved to enhance your writing's clarity and readability.

One of the key benefits of using the Rephrase tool is that it can help you avoid repetitive phrasing. Repeating the same words and phrases in your writing can quickly become monotonous and tiresome for your reader. With ProWritingAid's Rephrase tool, you can easily identify repetitive phrasing and explore alternative options that will keep your writing fresh and engaging.

Another advantage of the Rephrase tool is that it can help you restructure your sentences for better flow and coherence. Awkward phrasing and poor sentence structure can hinder your writing's effectiveness and impact. With the Rephrase tool, you can receive suggestions for alternative phrasings and sentence structures that will improve the flow of your writing and make it easier to read and understand.

Moreover, the Rephrase tool can help you avoid plagiarism. When you're writing about a topic, it can be challenging to find the right words to express your ideas without copying someone else's work. The Rephrase tool can suggest alternative phrasings for your sentences, ensuring that your writing is unique and original.

ProWritingAid's Rephrase tool is an invaluable tool for anyone who wants to improve their writing skills.

- Fixes double-quotes in url (even if percent-encoded) corrupting the exported bad links (by link) csv 

- Fixes crash which happened under unlikely circumstances 

- Fixes a bug that could have caused spurious statuses for certain urls (caused if url contained a percent symbol which isn't part of a percent-encoding, which is a bad practice anyway.)

- Some social and calendar 'add this' links are now listed but not checked. It's potentially not a good thing to request these urls to check them.

- Some social and calendar 'add this' links are now listed but not checked. It's potentially not a good thing to request these urls to check them.

Luminar Neo 1.5.0: Four spectacular new Extensions

Are you ready for one of the most exciting updates of the year? The Skylum Team is proud to present Luminar Neo Update 1.5.0, which contains not one, not two, but four new Extensions!

Focus Stacking

Focus Stacking combines many images taken at different focal lengths to deliver a crisp result with a greater depth of field than in any of the individual source images. Stack up to 100 source images and they'll automatically be aligned and cropped based on the reference photo. Lens and chromatic aberration corrections can also be applied to raw photos.

Upscale AI

Upscale AI enhances image resolution in a natural way. Before upscaling, the tool exports the image to save all edits made to the original file. It works both with raw and non-raw files and can upscale them up to 6X, giving the best results on 2X and 4X enhancements.

Background Removal AI

Background Removal AI automatically removes the background behind the subject in a photo. You can also select multiple subjects that you want to leave and remove the rest. The refinement brush allows you to fix any imperfections.

Supersharp AI

Supersharp AI helps you transform a photo with a moving subject from blurry to sharp. The neural network calculates a photo's depth, perspective, and context. With this information, it can deblur and correct the focus with compression algorithms. Easily eliminate motion blur.

All of these Extensions are now available in Luminar Neo for Pro Plan monthly and yearly subscribers, as well as for owners of the 2022 Extensions Pack.

Other changes:

Apart from these new Extensions, you can also enjoy the updated user interface in the left panel of the Catalog and use the Undo-Redo feature for brushing.

Last but not least, we've fixed a number of bugs. Now Luminar Neo works even more smoothly. Try out the improvements!

Curio Professional is a notebook tool we all love and now it has features we have all been waiting for.

New Features

-Synced Figure Instances - You can now create copies of a figure where the text contents and all meta properties (checked state, percent complete, dates, tags, resources, priority, etc.) are synced between the original figure and all instances. This is an extraordinarily powerful feature that has been a frequent customer request. Modify the original figure or any of the instances and those changes will be synced to all other figures. Some in the productivity space call this kind of functionality transclusion. The figure styling is not synced and can therefore be different between all the instances so they can be used in lists, mind maps, or elsewhere with completely independent styling.

-File-Backed Text Figures - Asset figures that reference text files can now be displayed as a text figure for editing directly within Curio. Copies of an asset figure will all render and modify the contents of the same shared asset text file. This has also been a frequent customer request. The associated text file could be embedded within the project or aliased to an external file (perhaps even one in a cloud-synced folder with your iOS devices) so that changing that text file outside of Curio will cause all the text figures that use that file to dynamically update themselves.

-Resample Image - Right-click on a jpg, png, or heic image figure to resample it with a new format, dimensions, and/or DPI resolution for faster loading and reduced project file sizes.

Improvements

-Smart Zoom - Double-tap Smart Zoom (if enabled in your System Preferences) to zoom to the hovered over figure or point on the idea space is now enabled by default. Double-tap again to restore your zoom.

-PDF Annotation Colors - You can now customize the PDF annotation colors for highlighting, strikethrough, and underlining.

-Index Card - Index card collections now autosize by default.

-Figure Selections - Selected figures once again show a blue glow, although more subtle than earlier releases, and have slightly bigger resize handles.

-Paste As > Markdown Link - Paste As > Markdown Link now works if you just Edit > Copy an idea space or a figure onto the clipboard (you don't have to Copy As > Hyperlink).

-Pasting from Word or Excel - When pasting Word or Excel content into Curio will now grab the rich text content, not the PDF that's also on the clipboard.

-Dragging from Local Library - You can now toggle a Local Library Drag Embed advanced preference to make it so drags from the Local Library shelf come in as an alias by default, unless Option is pressed (the opposite of the default).

-Local Library Import Text Files As File Backed Text Figures - You can also make it so text files dragged in from the Local Library shelf come in as file-backed text figures.

-Can Remove Category Associations Based On Finder Tags - The 'Can Remove Category Associations Based On Finder Tags' advanced preference is now off by default just to play it super-safe with Finder tags and project categories.

Fixed Issues

-Fixed issue so that locally generated equation PDFs are now transparent instead of having a white background.

-Fixed issue that prevented an idea space from loading correctly if it contained a broken idea space link figure pointing to an idea space that is no longer in the project.

-Fixed issue with Curio forgetting custom project icons.

-Fixed issue where the Status shelf lost its scroll position when items were refreshed.

-Fixed error that may have prevented the project's internal Proxy Project.plist file from being written correctly, possibly resulting in out-of-date Status shelf info displayed for unloaded projects.

-Tons of tweaks so inspector items aren't clipped when scrollbars are visible in the shelf.

-Fixed a crash issue with Sleuth when customizing sites.

Default Folder X has been working on improving your experience with the app. These improvements are now available for you to experience for yourself. The changes in this update are the following:

-If the Finder is not running, Default Folder X's display and editing of Finder comments is now disabled. This prevents Default Folder X from inadvertently launching the Finder.

-Fixed an issue that prevented Default Folder X from seeing open windows in ForkLift and Path Finder under certain circumstances.

-The Finder's icon is correctly shown in Default Folder X's menus again.

-Added support for several Java apps: RazorSQL, RubyMine and WebStorm.

-Fixed a problem with correctly detecting Save As dialogs in macOS 10.12 Sierra.

-You can turn off Default Folder X's caching of tags, forcing it to query for them with Spotlight each time its Tags pane is shown.

I was always somebody who was never concerned about using the same password for every account I made, meaning everything from my YouTube account to my HelloFresh account all shared a password. If anything, I thought this was a great idea as it meant that I would never spend hours trying to log into an account as I always knew what the password was going to be.

It was only when I started to see report after report of people’s personal data being shared over thy internet because there was a flaw in a system that I started to think that if my data was shared, they would have access to all my accounts because of the one password I was using. It was at that point that I decided I should start using a different password for each account. However, my biggest concern with this was how am I going to remember so many different passwords? That’s where 1Password comes in.

1Password is a place where I can safely store all my login details, including passwords. No one else has access to your 1Password, making it the perfect place to store important information. One of my favourite features of 1Password is the fact that you can use it to generate passwords and these passwords are customisable, such as you can choose the length of the password, whether to include numbers and whether symbols are used. This means that I can create strong passwords that I don’t have to worry about remembering.

Another feature of 1Password that I never expected to use but has now become an important feature for me is the two-factor authentication. Some websites require you to have a way to verify it’s you when logging in, whether it’s by sending you a text or getting a two-factor authentication code. Using the two-factor authentication from 1Password is so easy I never use my phone number anymore. It takes just a few seconds to set up and as I’m using 1Password to store my passwords anyway, I’ll already have the app unlocked when I need the authentication code, meaning there is no extra work for me.

There are so many features to 1Password that I never expected to use or even understand, such as being able to add important documents or being told when a website is compromised so you should change your password. But there’s one more aspect of 1Password that I think makes it one of the most useful tools. This feature is an internet extension. This means that when I’ve got to login on to a website the 1Password extension will pop up and I can use that to autofill my login details, making logging in so quick and easy that I don’t even give a second thought to logging in now. If I had to search out my password each time, I needed to log in I wouldn’t bother and would just use the same single password I would be able to remember, but as it automatically pops up it works perfectly for me.

It is safe to say that after using 1Password for a while now I would never go back to using a single, unsecure password for all my accounts. It may take a few seconds longer to log in to accounts now but I log in knowing my accounts are safe and secure, so a few seconds is worth it.

Unfortunately, Grammarly doesn't offer a student discount as standard, there are a handful of universities that have a special deal with Grammarly, but it is rare.

Instead of offering a student discount, Grammarly runs sales for everyone throughout the year, but there is a big catch with these sales; the sale price is often only valid for a couple of months before you are automatically moved back to Grammarly's standard pricing.

There is an alternative to being trapped with Grammarly's prices... ProWritingAid. Like Grammarly, ProWritingAid is a grammar checker and style editor but, unlike Grammarly, offers a 20% student discount on top of its already lower prices.

As you can see, paying monthly over a year would save you an incredible $120. In fact, instead of paying monthly for Grammarly for one year, you could purchase a lifetime of ProWritingAid and still have $40 left to spend when combined with the additional 20% student discount!

If you are anything like me, you're probably thinking, what's the catch, but the truth is there isn't one. As you'll see in the image below, ProWritingAid offers more features than Grammarly and has a much more generous free version!

My most used feature of ProWritigAid is the Writing Style Report. There's more to writing than just good grammar. The suggestions highlighted in the Writing Style report help me fix style errors that otherwise I would miss. The highlights within this report aim to improve the overall readability of your writing, including passive and hidden verbs, over-reliance on adverbs, repeated sentence starts, and much more.

The Writing Style Report might be my most used report within ProWritingAid but my favourite is the Overused Word Report because I have a very bad habit of repeatedly using the word 'very'. The Overused Word Report not only highlights when I have made the mistake of repeatedly using the word very, but it is also clever and nuanced enough to know that the word doesn't have to be eliminated completely.

I am dyslexic and have always dreaded writing because of it, but using ProWritingAid I can write and publish this post for anyone to read without the stress of a spelling mistake. So, if this post has made any sense and been free of spelling mistakes, ProWritingAid is to thank.

When I chose to use ProWritingAid over Grammarly, the decision was easy; ProWritingAid offers more functionality for less money, so I think it is the obvious choice.
