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

Page builder

Control simplified section layout in the page builder

When adding new sections in the builder, sections with a single column are automatically set up in a simplified layout that hides the rows & columns structure. If you prefer to always work with explicit rows and columns, you can now turn this off — look for the Simplified sections toggle in the builder's menu or in your user menu.

Cleaner action menus: "Delete Contact" only shows on contacts

The ... menu on lists like Testimonials, Subscriptions, and Ideas no longer offers Delete Contact or Archive Contact — those actions deleted or archived the whole person, which was rarely what you meant from one of those rows. They now appear only where you're actually looking at a contact. Testimonials also gain a proper Delete Testimonial action so you can remove a single testimonial right from the list. The other contact shortcuts you rely on (add a tag, give access, go to interactions, and so on) still work everywhere as before.

Testimonials

Toggle testimonials live right from the testimonial page

Each testimonial now has a Live switch at the top of its page — flip it on to publish, off to keep it as a draft. No need to open the editor just to change whether a testimonial is showing.

Testimonial author links now open in a new tab

When a testimonial includes a link to the author's website, it now opens in a new tab so your visitors stay on your testimonials page. We also automatically add https:// to author links that are missing it, so they always work instead of leading nowhere.

Feature

Courses
·
today
Award points for completing lessons

You can now set up a single trigger on a course that fires every time a member completes any lesson in that course. This makes it easy to award points, add tags, or run automations for each lesson completion — no need to create a separate trigger on every individual lesson.

Page builder: row and column controls now appear after switching to rows and columns

When you clicked Switch to rows and columns on a simple section, the row and column editing handles didn't show up — they were cached without editor controls. This is now fixed.

Simplification

Ai chat
·
today

Under each AI message, the model and style are now shown as plain labels instead of clickable dropdowns. To regenerate, open the “…” menu on the message — you’ll find Regenerate with different model and Regenerate with different style as quick sub-menus.

Improvement
·
Automations
·
today
Product&List automations now pause and resume automatically

When a subscription is suspended or a purchase is paused, any starter automations attached to that list or product are now automatically paused too — so contacts don't receive automation emails while they're on hold. When they're resumed, the automations pick up right where they left off.

Simplification
·
Admin ui
·
today
Faster labels, tags, and facets from your lists

When you add labels, tags, or facet values to selected rows (for example, Add labels on your Products list), the picker now opens with the full searchable list already showing — no extra click to expand a dropdown. You can also remove a selected facet value straight from its pill with the ✕, just like you already could with labels.

Simplification
·
Broadcasts
·
today
Broadcasts to event or product audiences no longer exclude unengaged contacts by default

When you send a broadcast directly to event participants or product buyers, the "Exclude unengaged contacts" option now defaults to off. These are targeted audiences you've specifically selected, so suppressing them based on engagement would mean missing people who matter. If you're sending to a list, the default stays on as usual.

Images in emails now have breathing room

Images inserted into emails (broadcasts, newsletters, and autoresponders) now have automatic top and bottom margins, so text no longer runs directly into the edges of your images. No changes needed on your end — all emails will look better automatically.

Fix
·
yesterday
Action dialogs always open with a clean form

When you run an action like Add tag or Send email from a list, the dialog now opens fresh every time. Previously it could still show the values you'd entered the last time you used it — now you always start from a blank form.

Feature

Admin ui
·
yesterday
Dark mode beta is now available to try

Enable Dark Mode (Beta) under Settings → Simplero Labs to get a theme switcher in your admin menu — choose Dark, Light, or Auto (follows your system).

A heads up: dark mode is still in beta, so a few pages may look like a mix of light and dark styles. You can always switch back to Light any time.

Chatbot sidebar Content tab now scrolls on iOS

The Content and Wiki tabs in the Simplero Coach chatbot sidebar were unscrollable on mobile — tapping and dragging did nothing. Scrolling now works correctly on iOS and all other devices.

Fix

Video speed selector no longer shows 2.5x on Safari and iOS

Safari and iOS cap video playback at 2.0x — selecting 2.5x would silently snap back, which was confusing. The speed selector now shows a maximum of 2.0x on those browsers, so every option you see actually works.

Fix

Page builder

Adding slides in the page builder slider editor works again

The "Add slide" button in the slider node editor was broken after a recent update and silently did nothing. It now works correctly — clicking it adds a new slide and automatically scrolls the preview to show it.

Fix

Segments
·
yesterday
Dark mode support for segments

The Segments page now looks great in dark mode — all cards, tables, and buttons adapt properly to your preferred color scheme.

Fix

yesterday
Fixed double charge when clicking "Update plan" quickly

Clicking the confirmation button twice on the Plan & Billing page could result in being charged twice for the same plan change. The button is now disabled after the first click, and duplicate requests are caught on the server side, so you are only ever charged once.

Fix

Surveys

Survey question numbers now stay consistent across all sections

Clearer labels on scheduling link settings

The scheduling link admin form now makes it obvious which description appears on the booking page vs. the calendar invite and confirmation email.
