You can [add daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly repeating events]( to your Basecamp 3 schedule! You can choose to continue those repeating events until a certain date, or forever. 3. NEW: [Image galleries](. Now in Basecamp 3, you can put your images in a [side-by-side gallery]( or even three-in-a-row, making it easier than ever to display your work or share photos. One of the features in Basecamp 3 that we use internally most often is [Automatic Check-ins](. The whole company gets asked things like: What did you do this weekend? What have you worked on? Small teams like Support get asked questions like: What was a common issue that you saw this week? Automatic check-ins are a simple, relaxed tool we use a lot to keep up with one another. However, we do not "set and forget" our questions! We change up what we ask or how we ask it regularly. We used to ask, "What did you work on today?", but we found people were too busy to answer that question effectively at the end of the day, every day. When we changed that question to the more vague, "What have you worked on?", we saw that people felt free to answer less frequently, but with more fully developed, cogent answers. So try it with [your own Automatic Check-ins]( If you're not seeing the feedback you want to see from your team, change how you're asking the question! Until next time, Basecamp friends! -[Andrea]( at Basecamp Basecamp Still running your business on email, texts and meetings? Stuff slipping? Getting chaotic? Switch to Basecamp.
