WHAT'S FRESH?
THESE ARE THE RECENT CHANGES TO SIMPLERO
Make it easy to copy link to event to clipboard from the ... menu on the event page and in the community.
Show when your site search is scoped to a course, lesson, group, category, etc. and let you remove the filter.
Made the empty state design on different pages on the new dashboard experience consistent + also added empty state for the dashboard page itself
Clean up of admin navigation around landing pages.
You can now set the site's Dashboard page as your site's home page.
Added a new search bar on the course page to search inside the course and on the history page to search history. The search bar in the header will now work the same everywhere - search across your whole site.
Tracking 404 Not Found requests to your Sites
We are now tracking any requests to your Sites that return a 404 or 'Not found'.
This is super useful if you’re moving over sites from outside Simplero, to make sure you get all the URLs.
It’s also helpful if you’ve deleted pages that you may want to add a redirect for, or you may want to find out where they’re linked from, so you can change those linisk.
There’s a handy “Create redirect” action so you can quickly create a redirect for a URL that’s getting traffic to send it where you’d want it to go.
You can see them by going to your Site, then find the … menu to the right of the Site admin menu, and look for “Not Found requests”.
You can now copy-paste a link directly to a specific sentence in the transcript on a course lesson. Just click the sentence and click the link icon in the menu that shows up, and the link will be on your clipboard to share with your friends or your team. Your team, of course, will also need to have permissions to access the lesson to use it.
Also made a bunch of minor fixes around highlight colors, transcript search, performance optimizations, and more related to the transcripts.
Damn, I love the transcripts and highlights … makes the course lessons a million times more useful!
Fixed a bug where navigating to /courses from the new dashboard would take you to a 404 page if the site was on the old site experience (because the /courses page only works on new site experience).
Fixed a bug where the 'Content files' widget on the dashboard would link to the wrong URL which would cause a 404 error.
Allow dripped pages on public sites
Labels for the Contact form fields in Page Builder 2.0 can now be edited.
Order forms on sites using the new experience will now correctly use the base font size set in the Style guide.
Fixed a bug where the help text would not appear for some custom fields like checkboxes, radio buttons and switches
Changed the style of the user card on the right sidebar on the new site dashboard to be more compact.
We'll now show other sites on your account a member has access to from your site dashboard too.
We have fixed the subscriptions upgrade/downgrade options to not allow selecting a price of a product that is sold out according to the "Limit the total number of participants" setting.
You can now make the divider on Builder 2.0 crop the content inside the section. Previously it only cropped the section background. This is useful if you have an image element that's bottom aligned and you want the divider to clip it.

Product list element in Page Builder 2.0 can now be configured to only show products from specific categories.
