New navigation style

We’re in the process of rolling out an update to the top navigation in admin - that means the top bar with the menu, and the 2nd bar with the page title and tabs.

The goal is to both modernize the interface a bit, without disrupting existing users too much, while also solving some navigation problems that we’ve had for a while. Specifically, when you navigate into more complex objects, like Lists, Products, and Affiliate Programs, it’s super easy to get lost in the layers and layers of navigation.

As part of this project, we’ve released a new navigation header style on the page for a single media file.

More will follow.

If you’re someone creating videos on Simplero for your customers, I’d hold off on re-recording till we’re done. It’ll probably be another 4-6 weeks.

SEO Optimization

Disallow pages with ?ref or ?simpleroobjectid parameters

SEO improvement: Canonical URL

Site pages that have pagination, eg. blog and blog category pages, would have the canonical URL set to the first page of the pagination, instead of the page you were on, which is a technical SEO problem. This has been fixed now, so they include the page number.

Sort products in 'Add a purchase' list on Contacts screen by internal name (thanks, Kasper)

Show details of action links in Broadcast summary sidebar

Cleaned up link edit screen for links in emails

SEO Improvement: Permanent redirect by default

Make redirects permanent when changing the URL of a page or blog post. Since this is the new permanent home for the new page, that’s both more accurate and better for SEO.

We’re working hard right now to dramatically improve Simplero for SEO performance, this is just a small piece of it.

Cleaned up the colors and logos screen in account settings

Send Notification emails (from Triggers, Automations, or other contact actions) from account support email, rather than action@your.simplero.com, which is guaranteed to bounce. Hat tip, George Kao!

Moved account support email from the support tickets settings screen to the account settings screen.

Resend Broadcast to non-clicks (thanks, David)

You can now easily resend a broadcast to everyone who didn’t click a link in a given Broadcast.

Just go to the Broadcast under Broadcasts > Delivered, and click the button “Resend to people who…”

Now you can also choose people who “Did not click any links,” in addition at the other options that we had already.

Thanks, David for the suggestion over on the feature request board.

Made columns on the Affiliate Programs table sortable, and added three new columns:

• Incoming amount

• Paid out amount

• Refunded amount

(also sortable)

Added a column for paid out amount to the Affiliates table so you can easily see how much any given affiliate has been paid over their lifetime

Fixed that we said 'Active participants wanting marketing' when what it actually meant was they wanted content, not marketing. Thanks Anja and Siif.

Improved the design of conditions block found on automations, triggers, prices and segments

Simplified the Price edit screen

Simplified the Configure pages for Lists, Products, Courses, and Affiliate Programs

Added Created and Updated timestamps columns to all tables that have them (thanks, George)

Added the ability to one-click resubscribe in case the subscriber user did the 1-click unsubscribe by accident. Thanks, Bente!

Renamed Financials to Invoices, 'cause that's what it is. Moved Tax Report and Transactions into the “...” menu in the upper right corner of Invoices. Tax Report is also available in Settings > Taxes. 

Simplifying the navigation by getting rid of the tabs underneath the main page title in most cases. We're moving towards a much cleaner and less confusing navigation one step at a time. Stay tuned...

Improve Expand/Collapse performance on courses overview. Fixed the display issue on highlight course lesson when expand/collapse

Show number of comments in the table showing your Courses

Only include invoices in the Invoices API, and always order by invoice number descending, most recent first

When searching in a table view, always bounce back to page 1 so you see the results of your search.

Let you edit the course catalog settings on creation (thanks, Anne Bente)

Simplero Labs 'Automate menu': Restructures your top-level menu to have a separate menu for automation features.

Moved the Email for automations menu item out of the main top navigation to a button on the Automations screen. It's too rarely used a feature to have it be up in the top nav.

Moved the Membership levels menu item out of the main top navigation to a button on the Products screen. It's too rarely used a feature to have it be up in the top nav.

We’re in the process of moving all of the various images that you can add in different places over to using the Media Library, so you have all of your images and media in one place, and you can use the powerful image editor, and more.

As the latest installment in that project, the account favicon has now been moved to the media library.

That also means you’ll find the existing favicon moved to the media library.

Sort pages by page title when showing options for choosing what to use as home page for your site.

A link to a course module will now show the course overview, scrolled to the module in question, rather than the first lesson in the course. This way people can see the description/intro text for the module, and they can choose to go to the lesson if they want. Also, if you still want to link to the first lesson, you can just link directly to that lesson.

Fix Google Search warning(invalid object type for field author) on 'full width testimonial' section

Added a margin at the top of an anchor if the site header is sticky.

Remove settablebyusers on feature flags

The Event section: 'Only show events in the duration I specify', now shows the list of events right away.

You can now configure your course lesson audio/videos to always start playing at 1x speed. Members can still change the playback speed but we'll always start at 1x speed if this setting is on.

Advanced quiz features on web and mobile

You can now choose the account logos from the media library. Also, you will find the existing logos moved to the media library.

Don't use internal name in the replies to emails. Just say 'your email'. Thanks, Maddi!

Allow Shortlink path to be a full 255 characters (thanks, George!)

When Simplero Labs feature 'Show where a media file is used' is enabled, we now correctly include media used in course and module descriptions and lesson text.

Fix anchor link to comments on course lessons

Renamed 'Show x more comments' to 'Show x more replies' for replies because we use the same text to show more comments and more replies which makes it confusing

Added 'Text, media, and text' section on page builder, it is one of variations of text and media combined.

Added Contact LTV column to the Purchases table

Remove the page param when click the 'x unstarred' link at the bottom of the page

Decided to remove the city on the Agreements completely. It's unreliable, and AFAIK city is not important for agreements to be or feel binding. We're all about simplicity around here, and this is definitely simpler.

You can now star/unstar landing pages and sites, helping to keep your admin experience organized.

Removed dead 'Sold out' and similar buttons in catalog. Replacing with just the text for now. We're in the process of getting the catalog redesigned, so don't want to do too much right now. Within a couple weeks it should all be spiffy and beautiful.
