Bug Fixes
Messengers

- Resolved a bug which prevented using the “forward” feature in a Messenger unless all name fields were filled.
Uploads & Assignments
- Resolved an issue which caused Setups to be generated automatically when uploading with the “No Setup” option specified.

- Addressed a bug which prevented account admins from having assets to aspects of the account that would normally be available to them.
File Management & Organization
- Corrected a bug which caused a “file” icon to appear on the preview of some image-based assets.
- Fixed a problem which could cause the “copy” button alongside the “Share Link” button to copy the Share Link for the wrong asset under certain conditions.
