This release brings a significant visual refresh to Iconik: a new color scheme, updated typography, and a restructured navigation bar, alongside a pair of workflow improvements that make everyday tasks faster and more organized.
We hope these updates will continue to streamline your workflows while maintaining the clean, fast experience you expect.
What's new in this release:
A redesigned Iconik interface
Iconik has a new look: an updated color scheme, typography, and navigation bar, all built on a new design system designed to make the platform more accessible and easier to use.
How it works:
Color scheme: The interface now uses a grey background throughout, replacing the previous blue. Grey provides a neutral backdrop that lets your media take center stage and is better suited to review, color work, and extended sessions.
Typography: Fonts and font sizes have been updated across the platform, bringing Iconik's core interface in line with the design language introduced in the Iconik Review experience. The result is a more consistent, professional look and feel throughout.
Navigation bar: The navigation bar has been restructured to put your most-used pages front and center. My Shares and Favorites now appear directly in the top navigation for faster access. Admin functions (Users, Teams, Transcoders, Settings, and more) are consolidated into a single Admin dropdown, making them easier to find without cluttering the main nav. The Upload button has been removed from the top navigation; usage data showed that most users upload via drag-and-drop, storage connections, or the Iconik Agent rather than the top nav button. The user profile dropdown has also been expanded to provide easier access to Admin Training and other resources.
Why this helps: These changes reflect how people actually use Iconik. A neutral grey background reduces visual interference during media review, improving focus and reducing eye strain over long sessions. Moving My Shares and Favorites into the top navigation puts high-traffic pages where they belong. Consolidating admin tools makes them easier to find. And the updated typography brings the consistency of the Iconik Review experience to the rest of the platform. Together, these are the first visible steps in a new design system built to make Iconik more accessible, consistent, and easier to use across the board.

Filter My Shares by who shared
You can now filter the My Shares page by All, Shared with Me, or Shared by Me.
How it works: At the top of the My Shares page, choose between three filter options: All, Shared with Me, and Shared by Me. The list updates immediately to show only the relevant shares.
Why this helps: If you manage a mix of shares you've sent and shares you've received, finding what you need used to mean scrolling through everything. These filters let you narrow your view with one click, so whether you're following up on something a colleague shared with you or checking on a link you sent, you get there faster.
Mark saved searches as favorites
You can now mark saved searches as favorites to pin them to the top of the Saved Searches panel.
How it works: In the Saved Searches panel, mark any saved search as a favorite. Favorited searches are pinned to the top of the panel and immediately visible whenever you open it.
Please note that this is separate from the Favorites page; favorited saved searches stay in the Saved Searches panel and don't appear alongside your favorited assets and collections.
Why this helps: If you work with a large number of saved searches, finding the ones you use every day means scrolling through all the others. Favoriting puts your most-used searches at the top so they're always within reach, without having to reorganize or remove the rest.
Availability: All Iconik users.
