Dear Hivers,

If you have been following me, you may have seen my earlier articles around Peakd. 

I have shared some of the [powerful features](https://hive.blog/hive-174578/@sidwrites/best-peakd-features) that I love. And then I also shared [13 more reasons](https://hive.blog/hive-174578/@sidwrites/13-reasons-to-use-peakd) to use Peakd.

And now, as Peakd continues to evolve, I wanted to share five more new features worth knowing. They have been added recently and you will find them useful in many ways.

Here we go:

### 1. Massive Change In Cross-post 

---

I never really understood why cross-posts were built this way:

First, you have to click the post. It opens up. And then you open the link to find the original article. It is a three-step process. 

**Now things have changed.**

With Peakd, the cross-post box is on the top. Meaning: You only have to click once and you will be directed to the original article. 

You can engage and discuss on these cross-posts.

This truly is a game-changer and makes reading so much more easier.


### 2. You Can Tip Comments

---

As an author, it feels great to receive tips for your articles. This feature was added recently. And now, this feature has expanded.

If you would like to save your voting power — or if you found a comment incredibly valuable — you can send a Hive tip. All that without leaving your page.

### 3. Discover “Hot” Content

---

If you go to the homepage, you may probably find the same content — sitting as a *Trending* post for more than 24 hours. Plus, the content sorting options are limited. 

This is where the “Hot” filter is useful.

To access this, simply open Peakd and select Hot:

**Note:** Though this feature already existed, Peakd has updated its algorithm. Hot has been tweaked for better output. 

### 4.  Manage Delegations Easily

As a writer, I am not 100% familiar with delegations. That is why, for a long time, I never delegated anyone. However, after testing this new feature — I totally get it.

It really is simple: You go to Peakd. Then your wallet. And click on the search icon. Through this, you can see the outgoing and incoming delegations:


### 5. Wallet Has Been Redesigned


Look at this:

In short: You have a neat wallet dividing your Hive from your Hive Engine tokens. Plus, you also have others and games collection.

I totally love the design here.

More new and useful features within Peakd.

They take you from writing to easily reading cross-posts and checking your beautiful wallet. Plus, you can also tip authors and commentators without leaving your page.

Overall, within two months, we have observed lots of updates and we will continue to see many more in the future.

**Over to you:** Have you explored these features? Do you use it regularly? Have you found them useful? What's your fav? Do let me know through the comment section below. Whatever it is, I would love to know! :)

Cheers,
Sid
