The Simplero Changelog: Here's what we've been up to...

Open an idea's … menu and pick Summarize this idea to get an AI-generated summary of the idea, including its description and all approved comments and replies. Great for quickly catching up on long discussions without scrolling through every comment.

Upcoming event cards on your dashboard now show a live countdown badge, and a cleaner card layout. The bookings widget allows more bookings visible at once, and the heading link directly to the full list.

You can now create and update your site's navigation menus — and the links inside them — through the API. Use GET/POST/PATCH /api/v2/nav_lists to manage nav menus, and GET/POST/PATCH /api/v2/nav_list_links to add or update links (pages, courses, external URLs, and more). Great for building navigation layouts programmatically or syncing them from external tools.

The 9-dot position picker for background images now responds to clicks anywhere in each quadrant, not just on the tiny dot itself. Much easier to click where you want.

You can now publish a forum post or leave a comment with only an attachment — no body text required. Great for sharing images, files, or recordings on their own.

When you tap the speaker icon on an AI chat reply, a small player appears at the bottom of the screen with play/pause, a voice picker (Ara, Eve, Leo, Rex, Sal), and a fine-grained speed slider (0.5x–2.5x). The voices come from xAI's Grok Voice — natural and expressive — and your voice and speed choices are remembered for next time. Speech mode now uses your chosen voice too.

There's a new 'Test page speed' shortcut on every published page and landing page. Find it in the page editor's three-dot menu, in the actions menu of the Pages and Landing Pages tables, and as a new icon in the SEO view of those tables. Clicking it opens Google's PageSpeed Insights report for that page in a new tab — so you can see how fast Google considers your page to be, what's slowing it down, and what to fix.

We've redesigned your admin dashboard with a cleaner layout, softer card styling, and a new sidebar that brings the Simplero Community right to your home screen.

Click any card to jump straight to it in a new tab. If you're not yet a community member, you'll be invited to join.

Existing widgets — your tasks, financial scoreboard, revenue and contacts charts, recent broadcasts, and so on — have been polished up to match, with a more consistent look and a snappier layout that adapts cleanly between phones, tablets, and large monitors.

When you select text in a paragraph, headline, or other text element on a page and pick one of your custom fonts from the font picker, the font now actually applies to the selected text. Previously the font would appear to be selected but the text would keep rendering in the default font.

While editing text in the page builder, open the Turn into… menu in the toolbar and pick Bullet List to convert your selection (or the whole element) into a bulleted list — each line becomes its own bullet. Works on paragraph, headline, subheadline, and preheadline elements, and you can keep styling the result with the existing icon and gap settings.

Images on your blog posts, course pages, podcast episodes, and other public site pages now load lazily by default — meaning images below the fold don't slow down what's visible on screen. Hero images at the top of the page are prioritized so your site appears faster to visitors and to Google. Images also now include their exact dimensions, which prevents the annoying layout jump that happens when images load in. These changes improve Core Web Vitals scores, which can lift your site's ranking in Google search results.

We've refreshed the look of the emoji reaction pills under community posts. They have a touch more padding (easier to tap), a cleaner borderless look when you haven't reacted, and the count no longer subtly shifts as it ticks up. Colors now follow your community's theme properly in both light and dark mode.

Edit, view, and other action icons in admin tables now sit perfectly in line with the trash and ‘…’ menu icons, instead of drifting a few pixels lower. A small thing, but it makes long lists of redirects, pages, customers, deals, lists, and many other tables look noticeably crisper.

Every page on your sites and landing pages now declares its language to the browser, so things like in-browser translation, spell-check, screen readers, and search engines all behave correctly for non-English content. Nothing for you to do — your site's existing language setting drives this automatically.

The hand-drawn tooltip that nudges you to turn on AI search on your Site (and similar onboarding hints elsewhere in the admin) was rendering with its text and close button outside the bubble. They now show up properly so the hint is actually readable.

Simplero now adds structured data (JSON-LD) to your public pages so Google — and AI search tools — understand exactly what each page is about. This means your blog posts can show article details, your courses can appear in course carousels, your podcast episodes can surface in podcast search, and your products can display price and availability directly in search results. No action needed — it works automatically for all existing and new content.

You can now choose whether AI companies are allowed to use your site's content to train their models. Head to your site configure settings (under Meta data) and toggle "Allow AI training on this site's content" — turn it off to tell GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and other AI training crawlers to stay away. Normal search engines like Google and Bing are completely unaffected by this setting.

Your site's llms.txt now includes author names, publish dates, and an About section — so when AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity cite your content, they include proper attribution. Blog posts show "by Author Name (Jan 15, 2026)", podcasts list the host and episode dates, courses show instructor names, and FAQ pages appear in their own section. The file is also cached for an hour so crawlers don't hit your server repeatedly.

When someone finds your podcast episode via Google, the snippet shown under the title is now pulled from the actual show notes — instead of whatever text Google happened to grab. You can also set a custom description from the episode edit form under the "Meta description" field. If you leave it blank, Simplero auto-fills it from your show notes.

Search engines like Google use your sitemap to discover all the pages on your site. Previously, only regular pages, products, and blog posts were listed — your courses, lessons, podcasts, and podcast episodes were invisible to search engines. Now they're all included automatically, so your content is easier to find and rank.
