✨ We've redesigned the 'Additional content' section of course lessons on the new site experience.

We've heard your feedback about not having the ability to view media files attached to the lesson's additional content inline on the new experience. Now they work similar to how they did on the old experience along with all the settings the old experience supports. But it is also much cleaner, elegant & simpler to use.

Sunsetting brand colors

We'll no longer be using the colors from the "Brand colors" section in the account settings to style things like text accents and buttons in emails. Instead, we'll be using the system colors from a Style guide. 

The Style guide that will be used depends on the context. For example, for broadcasts we'll either use the default Style guide for the account or the special "Legacy" style guide that will be created to aid the transition. For sites, we'll use the site's Style guide.

Color pickers will now include all of your custom Style guide colors.

We now create activity entries on contacts for actions on events, like register and canceling. This is also true for scheduling link events.

Fixed issue preventing the color picker on custom colors for some style guides from showing.

In the new Product Catalog, fall back to the product short description on the main Configure page if there's no copy for the product catalog specified on the Selling tab.

Fixed 'Stealme' links for Page Builder 2.0 pages not working correctly.

We've implemented a caching mechanism on the new page builder - your pages should feel much more snappier now.

Dramatic performance improvement of site pages & landing pages using the new Builder 2.0.

We've added a GIF picker to the editor on community.

This allows your members to share their mood using GIFs from Giphy.

Fixed a Cart bug where having mixed product billing address requirements could cause issues with postal code or region selection.

The forum post and comments on the community will now only be posted and notify members once all the media files are processed and ready to view.

When toggling notifications on the new site experience, the notice text will be clearer about the new state - whether they are on or off.

Remove 'Brand colors' from color picker (since brand colors are going away)

Avoid showing the /join screen for Membership Sites when you're already logged in to Simplero in general, but this particular site has lost its session cookie. Only show join screen when actually not logged in.

Make Header & Navigation and Footer nodes in the Layout Editor bold, to make it more obvious that those are editable, whereas the Page content is not (there).

We'll now show total video length on the video player on mobile. We stopped showing it due to not having sufficient space, but we've since made space for it, so bringing it back.

We've massively improved load times for pages using Page Builder 2.0, especially larger ones.

We’ve removed the brand colors from the WYSIWYG color selects. We will be soon adding the style guide colors as an option there.

We'll now use appropriatel-y sized images in the new builder. This should reduce the data usage on your page and improve performance if you have a lot or big images on your pages.

On the forum posts admin page, the Published at (Official) column will now show as blank when it's scheduled for the future. Before it was falling back to the scheduled date, causing confusion.

Improved the design of the tabs on the My Account > Content page

Only show upcoming events in contact page where the registration is either pending or approved.

We've added an indicator to course modules that will show the total time of all lessons in the module.

Carts and order forms will use the style guide of their site, or the account's main site's style guide if used independently.

Fix 'Other' field disappearing after survey is submitted with error.

Move the 'Switch' button to choose a different style guide to the header where it makes more sense.

Automated chat messages

Yes, you can now use automations and triggers to send DMs to contacts and members. Use wisely 😉

Moved the Custom Fonts settings to its own page, simplified the naming of custom fonts, and made it clear which font file formats are preferred.

We'll no longer create multiple copies of the same style guide when a new Landing page is created using a template.

Moved 'Style' setting in Page Builder 2.0 Button element higher up to increase it's prominence.

Moved 'Background' settings for most Page builder 2.0 elements to the 'Advanced' tab.

Fixed event count that appears on invites when some of the occurrences have been manually deleted.

Fixed issue where the event series page would show past occurrence instead of the next upcoming occurrence.

You can now add labels to broadcasts at the time of creation.

Scheduling link calendar and community calendar pages will now follow Start of week day setting.

Fixing 'Too many redirects' issue on blog posts for accounts whose subdomain contains both lowercase and uppercase letters and used fully customized URLs.

Round robin scheduling links will now fire triggers on the child links too when scheduled, rescheduled and canceled.

Fixed that the links in the welcome email with login and access info had the wrong links. Every link would go to the Account, when they were supposed to each go to different places, ie. direct to the content in question. This bug has been there for TWO YEARS and apparently nobody caught and fixed it. Crap. Egg on our faces. We're so so so so sorry.

We've introduced a new setting that allows you to configure audio and video content in your course lessons to always start from the beginning, rather than resuming from the last watched position.

Improved responsiveness of the header element on the new site experience. It should now not overflow on mobile devices (e.g if the site is set to show title instead of logo and the title was very long)

We've made magic login links work better when expired: If you're already logged in, we just send you on your merry way. If you're not, we show the login screen, where you can easisly request a new magic link, or log in with password. Username or email will be prefilled, since we already have it from the magic login link.

Fixed random numbers beside day name appearing on the calendar view for the events page on the new experience.

Made the transcript widget on the lesson page load after the page has loaded. This should make the page load faster.

Fixed a bug that was showing an error screen when visiting an automation flow involving a Worksheet Response

Chat button on header on the new site experience will not be shown if member-to-member chat is disabled on the site

Changed the order of some items in the header on the new site experience (favorites, history, playlists, conversation, notifications

Updating title from the page setting page will now also update the label of the page in your navigation (only if the label previously in both places was the default label - 'Blank page').

Renamed 'Color presets' in Page Builder 2.0 to 'Themes'

Fixed the Starred filter behavior so it (a) does what you'd expect, and (b) shows what it's doing.
