# Release Notes

### July 2026

**Version 1.1.5 | Release Date: July 22, 2026**

*Update*

#### BetterBugs Web SDK Widget

Exciting news! BetterBugs Web SDK widget just got a full set of upgrades. Here’s what’s new in this release:

* **Simplified API Key Management**: Easily manage API keys across your entire workspace and your projects from one place.
* **Send Issue Resolution Emails**: Send issue resolution/status updates to your customers (via email) right from your BetterBugs account.
* **Updated Widget UI**: Enjoy a cleaner, more modern interface when submitting feedback.
* **File Attachments in Feedback**: Your customers can now attach relevant files directly when submitting feedback.

#### What’s New & What's Changed

***1 - Workspace-Wide API Key Model***

You do not need to manage a different API key for every single project with a much simplified and logical flow.

* **Single Key Management**: Use a single API key (using `apiKey` property) to scope your entire workspace with the SDK widget rather than individual projects.
* **Project Routing**: Route bug reports to the correct project by simply adding a `projectId` property (API key) in the SDK initialization script.
* **Multi-Project Reuse**: To send reports to a different project, use the exact same workspace API key + the specific project's `projectId`.

**How to Use It**

{% hint style="success" %}
To get started, make sure to update/install `npm/yarn` package to the latest **BetterBugs Web SDK version (0.0.44)**:

* `npm install latest@betterbugs/web-sdk`
* `yarn add latest@betterbugs/web-sdk`
  {% endhint %}

**Steps to Generate Workspace `apiKey` and `projectId`**

1. Go to **Workspace Settings** > **API Keys**
2. In the API Keys section, click “**Generate Key**” to get your Workspace-Wide API secret.
3. From the **Initialise the SDK** section, use the dropdown to get the `projectId` for a specific project within BetterBugs. The key should get displayed in the initialization script right below.&#x20;
4. Add/update the `apiKey` and `projectId` in your initialization script.

Restart your web app and you're good to go!

**Updated Initialization Script**

```javascript
import { Betterbugs } from "@betterbugs/web-sdk";

const bb = new Betterbugs({
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE", // Workspace API key
  projectId: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID_KEY_HERE", // Project to report bugs to
});
```

***2 - Send Issue Resolution Emails to Customers, Right from Your Workspace***

* **Status Updates**: Share updates on submitted issues with your customers directly from your BetterBugs account.
* **Custom Email Template**: Use custom email templates to communicate issue status to ensure that your valued customers are always in the loop.

**Steps to Send Resolution Email to Customer**

1. Open the submitted feedback/report in your BetterBugs project.
2. Click “**Comments & Activities**” from the bottom right of the report screen.
3. Click **Respond to customer** > **Edit template.**
4. Edit/update text for the email and hit “**Save**”.
5. Click “**Send resolution email**”.

Okay! You’re all set.

***3 - Updated Widget UI***

The reporting widget has been tweaked to help collect structured feedback from your users:

* **New Field**: **Issue Type (OPTIONAL)**: Submitters can now select an issue category: General Enquiry, Give Feedback, or Report a Bug.
* **Attachment Support**: Your customers can now attach supporting files or docs directly within the widget before submitting an issue.
