You asked, we listened 

Since launching the new Watchlist back in November 2024, we’ve been keeping track of your feedback about what is and isn’t working for you. We’ve recently made a suite of improvements in response to that feedback, and will continue to improve as needed.

What’s changing?

Here are some of the latest key improvements you’ll start experiencing in the Watchlist, based on what you’ve told us. As always, you can personalise your Watchlist so it looks how you want it to look, by adding/removing columns, shifting their position(s) and so on.

Changes to the Announcement column

You’ll notice the Sensitive Announcements alert column (with the bell icon at the top) is now prominently displayed by default at the right end of the Watchlist display rather than the left end, making it easier to see sensitive announcements at a glance. The announcement bells are now also yellow to help stand out. Additionally, links in the Announcements column are now displayed with a download icon.

Normal & compact views

You’ll now be able to choose from two different view types for your Watchlist table: normal and compact. Normal will let you see the Watchlist in regular mode, with larger table and font sizes, while the compact mode will let you see the Watchlist with smaller table and font sizes.

Give feedback / take-a-tour options

We’ve removed the “Feedback” / “Take a tour” buttons that appeared in a combined pop-up at the bottom-left corner of the Watchlist page. You’ll now be able to give your feedback by clicking on the button next to the “What’s new with the Watchlist?” banner.

You can now also provide your feedback via "Feedback” link. The option to “take a tour” is now available within ‘Help’ under the “Watchlists New” dropdown.

Re-alignment of watchlist menu

Watchlist actions such as Rename and, Delete are now available in one place, within the “Watchlists New” dropdown.

Auto-adjusting Watchlist table column width

The Watchlist table column width now automatically adjusts based on the data it contains, removing any extra empty spaces in the column and improving the watchlist viewability. We’ve also added a column divider which makes the table grid more intuitive and visible.
