After months of behind the scenes work, our new accounts management tools are now live. Upgrades include more starting users (five instead of three), the ability to invite to join an Organization via email, and the ability to switch between organization accounts and personal accounts with just a click.

Later this week, we’re revamping how you manage your account and site features to offer the ability to be a member of multiple organizations, more easily add and remove members, and a lot more. In preparation for the upgrades, the site will be down Friday from 10 a.m. Eastern as we migrate data.

Removing features is not as much fun as adding them, but we think this time it will make things easier as you stay on top of your requests.

Last week, we released a number of new tools to make Assignments more useful. We’re also launching a new newsletter to stay in the loop if you’re interested in contributing to MuckRock’s open source development or just want a heads up on interesting site developments and data sets.

MuckRock users are really good at getting documents out of government. Now, thanks to a collaboration with DocumentCloud, we want to make sure you’re finding exactly what you need, no matter how large the release.
