Polished video player controls

We've cleaned up the video player control bar:

  • Tooltips on hover: Hover any control button to see what it does (and the keyboard shortcut where there is one).

  • Clearer active state: When you turn on Repeat, Captions, or Enhanced Audio, the icon now lights up with a glow and the brand color so it's obvious what's on.

  • Speed display fixed in Safari: Playback speed used to show as 1.7000000476837158x in Safari — it now shows as 1.7x like everywhere else.

Media Library: Copy URL button and Unused view

The Media Library table now has a copy-to-clipboard button that grabs the direct URL to the media file.

There's also a new "Unused" view that shows only files not referenced anywhere, so you can quickly find and clean up assets you no longer need.

Resize the page builder sidebars to fit your workflow

You can now drag the edge of the left (navigation) and right (settings) sidebars in the page builder to make them wider or narrower. Your preferred width is saved automatically and restored the next time you open the builder.

Get scaled image URLs from the API

The Simplero API now lets you generate a URL for a scaled version of an image asset at any dimensions you choose.

Hit GET /api/v2/assets/:id/scaled_url with width and/or height (and optionally constrain, convert, or retina) and we return a ready-to-use URL pointing at a scaled, optionally WebP-converted, version of the image.

Useful for embedding the right-sized image in apps, emails, and integrations without having to download and resize the original yourself.

Source title updates instantly in sidebar after editing

When you rename a source in the edit panel and close it, the sources list now immediately reflects the new name — no more stale titles.

What's New carousel on your membership site

Your members can now see a "What's New" carousel on the courses page, homepage dashboard, and feed — showing the latest courses, modules, or lessons that have been published.

The carousel is smart about grouping: if a whole course is new, it shows the course. If a module was added, it shows the module. If only a single lesson dropped, it shows that lesson.

Tool calls panel: clearer progress indicators

When the bot is working through a long sequence of tool calls — like spawning multiple agents in parallel — the panel now keeps spinning while work is still in flight. Previously the header could flip to a green check mid-run, and a "Spawned agent: …" row would also show a check the moment the agent was kicked off, even though that agent hadn't actually fini…

Summarize an idea with AI

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.

Dashboard: refreshed event cards and bookings widget

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.

Manage site navigation via API

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.

Easier background image positioning in the page builder

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.

Post in community with just an attachment

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.

Listen to chat-bot replies, your way

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.

Test page speed on any published page or landing page in one click

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.

Refreshed admin dashboard with a new Community panel

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.

Custom fonts now apply when picked from the text toolbar

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.

Turn paragraphs and headings into a bullet list

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.

Your public sites now load images smarter and faster

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.

Cleaner reaction pills in community posts

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.

Cleaner action icon alignment in admin tables

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.
