Improvement

We have improved the data and images that we can now collect for Facebook reels, pages and events!

David explains the changes in detail here.

✏️ Create your own reusable report templates

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 14:17:14 -0000

New

The Quick Start templates were just the beginning - you can now create and save your own custom report templates.

This lets you reuse the design, layout and settings from reports you already use, so you’re not rebuilding the same report setup each time. It’s great for regular reporting, keeping things consistent across teams and sticking to a specific client format.

You can create a template from a blank report or turn an existing report into a template. Templates save the framework of a report, not the coverage itself, so each new report starts clean and ready for fresh content.

More details on how to create and manage your own templates are here: https://help.coveragebook.com/en/articles/12868547-create-and-save-custom-report-templates

✨ Ready to shake off repetitive reporting? New Templates spark ideas and save time along the way ✨

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 11:38:30 -0000

New

When you log in, you’ll notice a new section above your reports - Quick Start Templates!

Your original layout is still there (now called the Showcase Report), but you can now pick from a menu of new styles designed to spark ideas and save you heaps of time.

Annual Report: Yearly report laid out with individual coverage sections for each month of the year, ready to add your coverage into
Numbers Update: Key metrics and KPIs take centre stage with a coverage index for easy reference and scanning—you control which exact metrics to feature
No Metrics Report: Showcase impactful coverage and trending topics—all metrics are hidden to put the spotlights on your visuals and content
Activity Roundup: Status update featuring summary slides for objectives & goals with coverage laid out in a grid

This little collection will help you make different reports easily…and it’s only the start of what’s coming next 👀

TikTok photos get a glow-up 💅

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 13:05:41 -0000

Improvement

We’ve improved how TikTok photo posts are collected. You’ll now see full outlet data — including the correct avatar, outlet name, and follower count — instead of just www.tiktok.com with no audience info.

We’ve also added a photo title based on the outlet data to give a bit more context (which you can edit it if you’d rather use your own wording)

You can now watch Twitch clips directly in your reports 🎬

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 13:29:33 -0000

Improvement

We’ve upgraded how Twitch coverage appears in your reports. For clips and videos, instead of a static screenshot, videos are now embedded so readers can watch them directly from your report.

We have also been able to remove the cookie pop-ups that appear for clips, videos and channels, so your coverage is much clearer. As before, we’ll still collect profile data (name, logo and description) along with followers, clip views and engagements.

Now supporting Spotify Episodes 🎶

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 13:26:13 -0000

Improvement

You’ve been able to add Spotify playlists to CoverageBook for a while now, complete with follower and engagement data. But we now also support Spotify episodes! CoverageBook will recognise when a clip is an episode and embed it right in your report, so readers can listen directly from your book. You can also add your own listener figures if you have the data.

Better support for age-restricted X posts

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 13:13:30 -0000

Improvement

If you’re working with a brand that regularly creates content marked as “adult”—for example, drinks brands or video games—you’ll be pleased to hear we’ve improved support for these posts on X (or Twitter, for those of us still stuck on the old name!).

While we still can’t embed the posts directly (you’ll need to upload your own images), we can now collect metrics both at profile level and for individual posts.

LinkedIn Post Data

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 12:59:00 -0000

New

You can now showcase LinkedIn posts in your CoverageBook reports — with full data automatically pulled in.

Simply paste a LinkedIn post URL into your report and you’ll get:

Profile data: name, logo and a short description
Follower count
Screenshot of the post
Date posted and post title
Engagement metrics: number of comments and reactions

All of this rolls up neatly into your overall metrics summary, so LinkedIn activity can now be reported consistently alongside your press social coverage.

Here’s what it looks like in action 👇

Saved Branding for All Your Reports

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:49:09 -0000

New

You can now save branding preferences in your account settings to save time and keep every report consistent ✨

From your My Account → Branding tab, you can:

Add your organisation’s logo to appear in the banner of your report (if you want, you can also add a separate client logo on the report cover when making your book)
Choose your accent colour
Set a branded share link (so your brandname is added to every share URL for every report, clip or folder you share)
Update your workspace name

Once saved, these settings will apply automatically to every new report. You can still customise branding on individual reports or clients when needed.

Where possible, we'll even try and grab this automatically for you - just hit 'fetch my branding'

Facebook posts now have automated data when you add as coverage.

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 15:31:02 -0000

New

Excited that we once again have metrics and data for Facebook posts. When you add a post URL we'll collect profile data, follower counts, estimated views and engagements. Ready to be displayed and exported in your coverage reports. You can see all the social platforms we support as coverage here.

📬 Introducing Email Digests for Account Activity

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 15:32:04 -0000

New

We’ve introduced a brand new email digest designed to keep you in the loop with what’s happening in your account.

It gives you a quick overview of the key activity across your workspace — including how much coverage has been added recently, an estimate of the time you’ve saved and pulls out some of your best-performing pieces.

The digest also points you towards features you may not have tried yet — helping you get even more out of CoverageBook.

If you’re an account admin, you should have received your first digest email this week, so check your inbox!

Share entire folders of coverage

Fri, 28 Feb 2025 14:08:33 -0000

New

You can now share a single live link to all the books inside a folder with your clients or stakeholders!

Any books you add or create in a shared folder will be instantly accessible.
Updates and edits to books inside the folder will refresh in real time, just like our single book live share links.
Your clients will always see the latest version—no need to resend links!
And if you need to, you can disable the link at a press of a button.

This makes it even easier to keep everyone in the loop with up-to-date reports 🥳

Folders have had a refresh!

Fri, 17 Jan 2025 11:42:07 -0000

We’ve made some changes to folders to make working in your books easier

📍 Pin your favourites: You can now pin your favourite folders, so there's no need to scroll through long lists (though scrolling is now smoother and more contained). Your pinned folders are personalised, and you can pin up to 60, making it easy to access the main clients or brands you work with.

🔎 Better search within folders: Looking for a specific book? Just start typing, and the search updates as you go.

🗂️ New Folder Homepage: Folders now have their own homepage, accessible from the top navigation. This is a game-changer for those of you managing long folder lists!

Here's and FAQ with more details

🚩 New Feature: Flag and Fix Spoilt Screenshots

Mon, 13 Jan 2025 13:53:51 -0000

New

We’ve just made it easier to improve the screenshots in your reports.

If you notice a screenshot that’s not quite hitting the mark, you now have two options to fix it:

Replace it yourself – As before, you can upload a new screenshot directly.
Flag it for review – Our new feature lets you report an issue with a screenshot, and we’ll handle it for you. The best part? The next time you get coverage from that site, we’ll aim to provide a better image right away.

When you flag a screenshot, you can even let us know what went wrong, and we’ll keep you in the loop by email once it’s fixed.

We already improve over 100 screenshots every month, and with this update, we’ll be able to tackle even more – giving you the right image, first time, more often.

Here's more about fixing screenshots.

The only way is up for social shares

Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:23:00 -0000

As part of our ongoing clips refresh work, we’ve made an update to how social shares are handled. From now on, social shares will only be updated when the number is higher.

This means if you have coverage on platforms like Twitch, you no longer need to worry about refreshing a clip and seeing the social share count drop to zero. The number will only go up, ensuring your reports reflect the most accurate and up-to-date data without any unexpected drops.

▶️ Auto-Refresh for YouTube Views

Fri, 13 Dec 2024 14:08:33 -0000

New

We’ve made it easier to keep your YouTube views up to date by introducing automatic refreshing. Now, when you first import a YouTube video, we’ll keep checking the data. If views or engagements have increased, we’ll automatically update your report for you 🎉"

Here’s how the new automatic refresh works:

0–7 days since import: Daily updates
1–4 weeks since import: Weekly updates
4 weeks+: Manual refresh required

Single Clip Metrics Refresh

Fri, 13 Dec 2024 14:05:36 -0000

New

Need updated stats on a clip? Whether it’s a YouTube video with more views since we last updated it, or an online clip that has generated more engagements, our new clip level ‘Refresh Metrics’ button updates that clip and the overall book metrics accordingly.

Simply click the button in edit mode, and we’ll grab the latest figures for you. Read more about that here.

📊 All the data, no fuss – CSVs now available without a Book

Fri, 08 Nov 2024 11:18:20 -0000

New

You can now download directly to CSV from the Coverage Vault - without having to make a book!

This feature lets you filter coverage by date range, folder, section, category, or other criteria—not just by book. You can generate a CSV directly from the filtered results or selected pieces. We’ll then email the CSV directly to you!

It’s available to anyone on a Silver plan and above and will be really handy if you just want to dig into the numbers. See how this works here.

Outlet area tweaks: Saved searched and easier additions

Tue, 03 Sep 2024 10:29:17 -0000

Improvement

We have made a few tweaks to our outlet area:

Saved searches. We had feedback that it was annoying to filter results, go in an outlet and then be bumped back to the start again. Now, when you go back, you'll see your list of filtered results so you don't need to start again. 🙌
We have made it easier to add outlet information. We have updated the outlet form so that you can add all publication details on one go:

🗄️ New outlet management area

Fri, 16 Aug 2024 10:14:40 -0000

New

The Coverage Vault now has a new outlet area! 🥳

Now you can:

See all your outlets in one place: Access a full list with details on coverage for each outlet. Use filters to find your top outlets or clean up duplicates.
Create outlets before uploading coverage: Set up publishers ahead of time for your team to use.
Easily edit multiple clips at once: Update or move clips between outlets, refresh circulation numbers, or correct mistakes quickly.
Understand your metrics better: We’ve clarified whether profiles or coverage data were provided by CoverageBook or edited by users, with an option to reset to default values.

To find it, head to the Coverage Vault in the top main menu bar of your CoverageBook account, and you’ll see the outlets link:

And to help you get started, here are a couple of useful resources:
