The 6.0 release of Sprocket 365 marks a significant milestone with its integration into the Microsoft App Store (App Source), making it more accessible to users. This update streamlines the installation and upgrade process by packaging Sprocket 365 as a single file, ensuring faster and more user-friendly experiences. Additionally, the release brings improvements to various aspects of the platform. The "My Apps" web part has replaced the App Launcher, enhancing clarity in its purpose. Users will enjoy a remarkable 210% boost in load times within "My Apps," along with visual enhancements and simplified configuration options for an improved user experience.

The Converters feature provides better error handling messages when setting metadata fields. Other enhancements include the ability to set the Site Logo Thumbnail in Settings, expanded default levels on load in the People Hub's Traditional View, and the removal of unnecessary URL elements. Additionally, there are improvements to email notifications, department options pulled from Active Directory, and enhanced search capabilities with new document library scope options.

After our first release of version 4 we identified bugs which have been resolved in this release. Most of these bugs were relating to Internet Explorer 11 users.

Version 4 is the first major release of Sprocket to supercharge your intranet. Previous versions of Sprocket were targeted towards SharePoint Classic and operating in a hybrid mode when SharePoint Modern experiences were displayed. Version 4 is entirely targeted to SharePoint Modern and Office 365.
