Bookmarks show up in the “Projects” menu, nearly organized below the project they live in. If you bounce between a to-do list and a document often, just bookmark them both and you’ll always be a single click away no matter where you are. You can bookmark just about anything in Basecamp 3 so you can jump right back to it from anywhere else. It works as you’d expect and never overloads you in two places. And if you don’t have a mobile app installed, or you do but you have push notifications turned off, we’ll send the notification via email. If you’re not in the desktop app, we’ll notify you on your phone (if you have the iOS/Android app installed). For example, if you’re in Basecamp 3 in your browser, you’ll get a desktop notification. Cascading Notifications: Finding you where you areīasecamp 3’s notifications system was designed to catch you where you currently are without leaving a mess everywhere else. They’ll instantly get a notification letting them know they’ve been mentioned, along with a direct link right back to where you mentioned them. You can anyone anywhere - in a to-do, a comment, a discussion, a Campfire chat room, a message, a file description, anywhere - and type someone’s name. Need to get someone’s attention? Want to reference someone in a discussion? Just them. Information will come pouring in, and Basecamp will organize it nice and neatly for you.

“What did you work on today” or “Are you blocked on anything?”), select who should be asked, and then set up the frequency (every day, once a week, in the morning, at the end of the day, etc), and Basecamp will take care of the rest. So let Basecamp 3 automate it for you! Set up any question you’d like (e.g. But remembering to ask people the same thing over and over is tedious and you end up feeling like a nag. If you want answers you have to ask questions.

Automatic Questions: Answers like clockwork We give you everything you need to get any project done with any group, but should you decide you don’t want a schedule or a Campfire or automatic questions on a given project, you can just turn them off. The Toolbox: Take it or leave itĮvery Basecamp 3 project comes equipped with six tools: To-dos, a message board, a Campfire, automatic questions, docs & files, and a schedule. Great for selectively sharing something with someone who’s not core to your project but who’s interested in something from time to time. They’ll be able to see that thing (message, document, file, to-do list, schedule, etc), but they won’t be able to see anything else in the project. Just click the “Share…” button, select the “get a public link to share with anyone”, grab the link, and send it to anyone you want. Share with anyone: Check this outīasecamp 3 lets you share anything with anyone - even if they aren’t part of a project. Get on top, stay on top, and call the shots when you have a big picture of the big picture. They cut across everything and let you know what’s late, what’s coming up, what someone’s been up to, if you’re adding to the pile of work or chipping away at it, what’s on someone’s plate, etc.

If your job is to stay on top of everything, the all-new reports in Basecamp 3 will be your best friend. This is a great way to show your support for someone’s suggestion, idea, or point of view without also sending a notification to everyone else on the project. They’ll get a discrete notification letting them know you appreciated what they said. Show someone you care by clicking the Applause button on any message, comment, document, or answer on any automatic question. Campfires are fast, lively, real-time, and often the heartbeat of the project. When you don’t know where to go to ask something, pop in the Campfire and say hi. Campfires: Gather ‘round and talkĮvery Basecamp project now includes a Campfire - a group chat room for quick discussions, rapid-fire sharing, information dumping, casual decision making. Live a little! Work Can Wait until you’re back at work. You can always go into the apps to check if anything’s new, but Basecamp won’t send you any emails, push notifications, or in-app notifications if it’s outside your specified work hours. Work Can Wait: Shut up work, it’s Saturday!īasecamp 3 lets you set up your work schedule so you don’t get notifications after work or on the weekends. Need to ask someone a quick question? Want to talk about something off the record? Want to get someone’s take on something before sharing it with everyone else? Just ping them! Pings are private between the participants - no one else can see them. Pings are like instant messages or direct messages.
