In our continuous effort to improve the DeviantArt experience, we're publishing weekly Site Updates to keep members informed and to gather feedback. Below is a list of recent changes to the site, bug fixes, and feedback that was brought up by members in the last Site Update.

Collaborative Deviations: A Discussion

A common request from deviants is to post collaborative deviations, where more than one deviant has worked to create the end product. In a recent journal, we briefly addressed why we haven’t yet undertaken collaborative deviations. However, we want to open a discussion around how collaborations could theoretically work, so that we can better understand the community’s desires for such a feature.

  • Some tools in DeviantArt muro wouldn't work properly, when editing an already existing deviation. Fixed by outgoingcoyote
  • There were some display issues when viewing the artists section of More Like This results. Fixed by outgoingcoyote

Your Feedback

Thank you for the feedback on last week's Site Update!

In response to the Discuss topic, deviants said that they found themselves watching more artists, particularly in instances where they thought they were watching deviants that they weren't. neurotype-on-discord also noted that it has made the unwatching process easier, in incidents where they no longer wanted to get updates from deviants they were watching before.

Discuss!

Collaborative Deviations

Because we're already holding a discussion this week, we'd like you to join the conversation about collaborative deviations on the discussion journal! We'll be back with a new Discuss topic next week.

have another tagging option such as like <username> tag which will send a request to the user confirming they've worked on the piece and once this is done it will be added to their gallery as well BUT the piece will share ONE statistic , there will be only ONE deviation but where the username goes there will be two usernames . This means there will be only one piece of art that is showcased in two users galleries, under the piece will have two usernames ONE comment section ONE amount of favourites and ONE ammount of views
