Product Update: Tags! You're it
Winter’s rolling in, but we’re keeping things warm with a batch of fresh updates, and this one, comes with a real game changer. We’re introducing Tags: a new, easier, and more powerful way to connect related content across Clipsource. With Tags, the old Presskit feature in Screening Room is replaced, making it possible to create dynamic collections that automatically update whenever new content is added.
Launch: November 10, 2025 (this feature will be available to everyone on that date)
What are Tags? 🏷️
Tags let you label and therefore connect related material across Clipsource. For example posts, screeners, programs and images all in one unified flow. With this new update, you’ll spend less time managing assets, while creating richer, automatically updating tag-based views that stay relevant over time.
When a Media Center visitor clicks on a tag, a page is automatically generated showing all related content in the familiar grid layout from Media Center. Tag result pages can search for items from multiple modules (e.g., posts, screeners, images, programs) in one place, so audiences don’t have to jump around to find related material. Of course, the page only displays items that the visitor has access to, according to existing access settings.
You can also for example:
-
Group several screeners into a shared view (as previously done with Presskit)
-
Or our favorite use case, create dynamic sections & dedicated landing pages that update themselves as new tagged content is added (see screenshot examples)
-
Display the latest news tagged with a specific topic, program or person in Page builder
-
Where can I find & manage Tags?
Full tag management is available when logging in: Left hand admin menu → Tags, where you can create, edit and clean up your tags. The central Tags view helps you standardise naming, keep things tidy, and quickly spot unused or duplicate / misspelled tags.
In the central Tags view you can:
-
sort tags by creation date, last used date, or show tags without active connections
-
quickly find and remove unused tags to keep your list clean and relevant
In addition, autosuggest is available everywhere tags can be added – reducing the risk of duplicates and keeping your tag structure clean over time. You can also filter to see tags that haven’t been used recently, making cleanup much faster.
Where can I use Tags?
Tags are now available across several modules:
-
Media Center: When creating or editing a post:
-
In the first view (1.Post) scroll to the bottom of the page until the Tags section.
-
Type into the search and select the tags you want to add.
-
-
Screening Room: When uploading a new screener or editing one:
-
In the first view (1. File information) scroll to the bottom of the page until the Tags section.
-
Type into the search and select the tags you want to add.
-
This is great for grouping screener content and related material
-
-
Program Catalog: for series, films and episodes
-
In the update series and/or episodes form, scroll to the bottom of the form to the Tags section.
-
Type into the search and select the tags you want to add.
-
-
Mediabank: for images, video and audio:
-
For each file in a collection, select update and you'll find tags at the bottom of the form.
-
Type into the search and select the tags you want to add.
-
This is what tagging looks like in the backend of all the above mentioned modules:
Important notice: For those who previously used “Presskit”
The Presskit feature in Screening Room will be fully replaced by Tags. Don’t worry! It’s a very similar function, and will do the same job as Press Kits, but much better as it will work across all modules. This means:
-
All existing presskits are automatically converted to tags, and all connections between screener episodes are preserved.
-
The old Presskit list in Admin is removed, but all content remains available and is now visible centrally in the Tag list.
-
You can find the new tag list when uploading or editing a screening room, under (1. File information) and scroll to the bottom.
Tags in Page builder
Tags are available in all automatic components except Highlights (e.g., Latest Posts, Screeners, Press Events, Books).
You can include or exclude tags, and choose whether items must match any or all selected tags, perfect for precise front-page sections (e.g., “Olympics news” during the Games).
This means you can create entire pages or just sections that for example:
-
display the latest posts tagged with a specific tag
-
filter content based on multiple tags
-
show content matching one or several selected tags, or exclude tags that aren’t relevant
An example of a Tag-filtered page:
That’s all folks!
Again, Tags will be released November 10th. Stay tuned! We’ve got more improvements and new features on the way to make your Clipsource experience even better. Got questions? We got your back over at support@clipsource.com

Linda Bernström Appointed Chief Revenue Officer at Clipsource
Clipsource, the European communications platform for the media industry, has appointed Linda Bernström as Chief Revenue Officer to drive international growth.
Post-Summer Product Updates: New Premieres components & some great updates
Summer is over, but we are still rolling out a set of new features and refinements across Media Center, Mediabank, and Schedules. These updates are designed to make content presentation more engaging, file management more flexible, and everyday workflows smoother and easier to understand.
Pre-Summer Product Updates: New book components, more customization & great fixes
Before we slow down for the summer, we are bringing you our latest product update, with powerful new features across Books, Media Center, Schedules, Program Catalog, and Mediabank. Here's what’s new:
May Product Updates: New Components, Smoother Layouts, and Smarter Tools
Another May, another slay. We're back with another round of product updates. This release focuses on improving discoverability, video layout options, and everyday usability—plus some long-awaited system automations. Let’s dive in!
Product updates: Media Center search, components and more...
Dear Customers,We’ve been busy this spring, and it’s time to share what’s new in Clipsource. From a powerful new search in Media Center to fresh components for Page Builder and smarter subtitle handling — this update brings improvements you’ll notice right away. Let’s take a look. Faster, smarter search in Media CenterYou may have noticed that we’ve rebuilt the search experience in Media Center. Instead of listing all results on a single page — which could be slow and overwhelming — results are now organized into tabs based on content type. You’ll find separate tabs for Posts, Screeners, Images, and more. This makes it easier to focus your search and, most importantly, it’s much faster.We’ve also started refreshing the design of the result views to make them cleaner and easier to browse. And this is just the beginning — coming updates will include tab-specific filters and other features to make search as accurate and effortless as possible.Improved search in MediabankWe’ve also updated the search in Mediabank to help you find images, videos, and audio files faster. You can now search across all content directly from the top level — no need to click into each workspace or collection to locate the right file.New Page Builder component for book releasesWe can’t help but talk more about our new Page Builder. For our book publishing customers, we’ve just released a new Automatic component that makes it easy to showcase book releases.With this component, you can display a slider or grid of newly released or upcoming titles. You can choose to show all books, filter by publisher, or highlight a specific type of book — for example, hardcover, e-book, or audiobook. Once published, the component updates automatically as you add or schedule new titles — no manual work needed.Smarter headings for automatic componentsWe’ve added a small but useful improvement to some of our automatic components: you can now choose to include a built-in heading.Previously, you had to add a separate header component — but since automatic components are access-controlled, the header could sometimes appear even when the actual content was hidden. With the new built-in heading, the title only shows when the content does, keeping everything consistent and clean for your visitors.This update applies to the Latest Posts, Screeners, Books, and Upcoming events components.More flexible schedule change postsSince we introduced Schedule Changes as a separate post type in Media Center, some customers have asked for the option to create a “clean” post — without any recorded changes. This is useful when you want to share general scheduling-related news that isn’t tied to a specific channel or program.By default, the channel and date pickers are active as usual. But now, there’s a toggle in Media Center that lets you disable them and publish a post without any linked data. Consistent typography with updated font settingsWe’ve improved font handling in the text editor, used across the system. Admin users now have access to an updated set of font options that better reflect the typography used on their site.Since many of our customers use custom font families, this change ensures that headings and text in the editor more accurately match the look and feel of the published site — especially for fonts with dedicated headline styles. The result is more consistent, on-brand content with less manual styling. Other minor improvements: Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented subtitles from appearing in Program Catalog videos. Added support for SRT and STL subtitle formats, in addition to VTT. Supported in both Screening Room and Program Catalog, via manual upload or integration. - The Clipsource Team
Launching Page Builder – Create pages with more flexibility
Hello from slightly sunny Sweden!We're now starting the rollout of Page Builder, a brand-new tool for creating and managing pages in the platform. With Page Builder, you design pages using flexible components – deciding for yourself how the content should look and function, no technical skills required.
Sneak Peek: COMING SPRING 2025 – NEW Page builder ✨
Sneak peek Our new Page builder is launching in Spring 2025, making it easier than ever to create stunning and professional pages. Designed from the ground up based on customer feedback, the new Page builder is made to be integrated with the Clipsource ecosystem, giving you a new way to create, with more flexibility, and more ways to showcase your content. With intuitive components, you can browse and add content directly from your Posts, Mediabank and Program Catalog, ensuring your pages always have the latest content, staying ever fresh and dynamic. Stay tuned for the launch and get ready to build better pages! Got questions? We have your back at support@clipsource.com Other recent tweaks and bug fixes We’re continuously refining the platform to improve your experience. Here are some of the latest fixes and enhancements: We’ve removed the forced center alignment of preamble text in post, event, and schedule change notifications. Now, the text will follow the alignment setting defined in the admin panel, just like the body text. Fixed an issue where removed contacts remained in the pending access list with an accepted/denied status, preventing them from reapplying. Now, they will be fully removed from the system. - The Clipsource Team

Many companies have had to shift their focus from investment-led growth to prioritizing profitability. While the journey hasn't been without its challenges, this recalibration paves the way for a more sustainable and innovative future. The resilience and adaptability we've seen across the industry give me great confidence in what's to come.”- Dan Willstrand, CEO Giving Back In times of global need, we remain committed to making a difference. This year, we’ve donated to UNICEF’s Disaster Response program. This initiative provides emergency medical care, shelter, food, clean water, vaccines, and protection for children and families affected by crises worldwide. It’s our way of supporting vital relief work and standing with communities in need. From everyone at Clipsource, we wish you a great holiday season and a fantastic New Year. Here’s to another year of growth, innovation, and collaboration! Cheers! The Clipsource Team
NOT a Black Friday Email, rather a product update
Dear Customers, Over the past few months, we have been working intensively to develop a new search function to make your work more efficient. With the new search function, finding the right content is now easier and faster than before. The first place where this is being implemented is the Program Catalog for admins. When you log in to the Program Catalog, you will see that the homepage has been replaced with a new search-focused page. Where possible, we also provide search suggestions to help you find content even faster. So, how does the new search work? Unified search: You can now find all programme content in a single search, without needing to navigate through different categories. Everything is now in one place, making it more efficient and easy. Search suggestions: As you type, you will now receive suggestions that help you find what you are looking for faster. Sorted tabs: By default, all results are displayed, but you can also choose to view only, for example, series or movies in specific tabs, making it easier to quickly focus on the content you are interested in. Improved matching: Forgot the exact title? No problem. Our new search function helps you find a programme regardless of spelling or variations like 'The Program' or 'Program, The'. Comprehensive search: Our search covers titles, descriptions and cast information ensuring nothing is missed. ID search: Find content by searching for series, season, episode, or media IDs. For now, you can still use the old search function available under each programme tab, but the new search function provides faster and more comprehensive results, potentially saving you valuable time and making your work smoother. We would greatly appreciate it if you could try the new feature and let us know what you think. If you have any feedback, don't hesitate to reach out! - The Clipsource Team
Product updates: Shared collections, UI updates and more...
Dear Customers, Lately, our attention has been on some significant system upgrades, which are still ongoing. However, we’ve got a few exciting updates that we'd like to share with you. Here’s some new stuff!Share Mediabank collections within your organisation We're excited to share an update for our Mediabank module, designed to make media management even more seamless and efficient—whether you're new to Mediabank or a long-time user. Mediabank is a powerful tool that allows you to upload, manage, and share your media files effectively, organised using two main structures: Workspaces: You can create both public and private workspaces to organise your media, giving you full control over how your files are shared. Collections: Within each workspace, you can create collections (folders) for uploading files. Collections can be unpublished, publicly available, or restricted to logged-in users. You can also create nested sub-collections, providing you with greater flexibility in structuring your content. With our latest update, users who are part of an organisation can now share collections with one or more other companies within the same organisation. When a collection is shared, it appears in a new area of the Mediabank called the Inbox. The Inbox lists shared collections, provides details about who shared them, and includes a feature to move the collection from the Inbox to a relevant workspace within the receiving customer’s Mediabank. This new feature helps streamline your workflow, avoiding duplicate efforts in uploading and managing media files. It's especially helpful for different companies within an organisation that need to publish or share the same or similar collections with their respective audiences. Whether you're already familiar with Mediabank or just getting started, this update is here to make your media sharing process smoother and more collaborative. Schedule design update We've also refreshed the look of Schedules in Media Center, bringing a sleek new design to enhance your experience. The updates include: A more spacious layout, making it easier to get an overview of the content. Larger images from the programmes, providing a richer visual experience. Full-page width utilisation, ensuring the content doesn’t feel cramped. One notable change is that the previous area used for schedule changes has now been replaced with a button at the top of the page. This new design makes navigating and managing schedules more intuitive, allowing you to focus more on the content that matters most. Email verification improvements We have improved the way our system handles imported contact lists from CSV files or copy-paste operations. Previously, once you imported a contact list, you would receive an email notification if the import completed with errors, highlighting incorrect email addresses. With our latest update, we're taking this a step further. Now, when an import finishes, you will not only be notified of errors but will also receive more detailed information on what went wrong—whether it's an invalid format or the presence of unsupported characters in the email address. This enhancement makes it much easier to correct issues and update your contact lists accordingly, saving you time and reducing the hassle of manually tracking down the issues. These improvements are designed to help you maintain clean, accurate contact lists with less effort, ensuring that your communications reach their intended recipients smoothly and effectively. Enhanced validation for schedules We've also made an improvement to the validation process for TV schedules imported to the Schedules module. Previously, our logic for detecting gaps or overlaps between events was not always sufficient, especially when it came to identifying events with identical start and end times. With this latest update, we've refined the validation logic to explicitly highlight events that share the same start and end times. Combined with our recent improvement that made these validations channel-specific rather than generic, this enhancement results in a more precise and reliable scheduling experience. These improvements will help you reduce errors, avoid scheduling conflicts, and ensure that your TV schedules are accurate and consistent, making management simpler and more effective. Some other minor tweaks and bug fixes We have adjusted the logos in Media Center so that Google and other search crawlers display the correct logos in their search results. We are continuing to gradually update our admin UI to make it more attractive and easier to use, including new icons and adjusted lists. We have fixed a bug that prevented the deletion of archived content in Mediabank. - The Clipsource Team

For example, we've added a shortcut that allows you to open a collection in Media Center directly from the admin interface, and we've improved the numbering of multi-uploaded images. More improvements to Mediabank will be rolled out over the coming weeks, so stay tuned! Some other minor tweaks and bug fixes Resolved an issue where Geoblock filtering was not functioning correctly in the Media Center post list. Fixed a problem that prevented embedded videos from being opened and previewed in the Program Catalog, making it easier to review video content directly. - The Clipsource Team
