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.

Your Feedback
Thank you for the feedback on last week's Site Update! Here's some of what you had to say:
- Responses to the Discuss topic varied. In general, not many deviants said they post their works in progress to their Gallery, and a few deviants said they don't post works in progress at all.
- Of the deviants who do post works in progress, several mentioned posting them to Scraps. Some also mentioned using Sta.sh to hold their works in progress in order to share them with people whose feedback and critique they value.
Discuss!
