Dark mode: readable text in form fields and secondary buttons

In dark mode, text typed into form fields and the icons on secondary (outline) buttons could render in a dark color that blended into the dark background, making them hard to read. We spotted this on the course "Add lesson" field, but the fix applies everywhere — form fields and secondary buttons now always use light, high-contrast colors in dark mode.

Clearer active tab on the product editor

When editing a product, the tab you're on now stands out with a solid colored background, so it's easier to see where you are. Empty counts (like "0" automations) are hidden instead of showing a zero.

Jump straight to any product settings tab

Hover over the Settings button on a product and the settings tabs — Product, Pricing, Sales page, Order form, Content, Options, Automations, Auto-responses, and Triggers — now appear right below the top tabs. Click one to go straight there, instead of opening Settings first and then finding the tab.

Announcement banner on new site builder

You can now add an announcement bar to your site's header in the Layouts settings. Turn the toggle Announcement bar on under Header settings, then type your message, optionally add a link, choose background and text colors, and decide whether to let visitors dismiss it. The banner sticks with the header when sticky mode is on.

Add a purchase right from a product

There is now an "Add purchase" button at the top of a product's Purchases and Participants screens. Click it, search for an existing contact (or create a new one on the spot), and you go straight to the order form for that contact — where you pick a price (or make it a free purchase) and complete the sale. No more jumping to the contact first to grant someone access.

Fixed the lesson page on iOS where opening and closing the keyboard inside the bottom sheet would scroll the page down each time until everything was off-screen.

Price label on the product sales page

If your product has a single price with a "Label on order form" set, that label now appears above the large price on the product sales page — so visitors see context like "Lifetime access" instead of just the amount.

Course sidebar now highlights the course you're on

The membership site sidebar no longer shows every course in bold. Now only the course you're currently viewing is highlighted, and its section expands automatically — so it's easy to see where you are.

The page builder's "Add Element" menu now appears on top of your element frames instead of being partly hidden behind them.

When you add an element in the page builder it now highlights itself automatically, so you can immediately see — and start editing — exactly what you just added

Site search

Friday

Search results now read better on mobile. The thumbnail and title sit side by side with the description running full-width underneath, the "last played / last completed" line and favorite heart move up to the top, and long titles are tidily trimmed so each result stays compact and easy to scan.

Tag API now supports description, color, and owner fields

You can now set and read a tag's description, color, and owner directly through the API — both the v1 REST API and the v2 API. Previously these fields were only manageable from the admin UI, so if you created tags via API you had to hop into the admin to finish configuring them.

Now you can fully set up tags in a single API call without leaving your integration.

Belgian VAT numbers now validate correctly

Belgian VAT numbers starting with 1 (e.g. BE1031973496) are now accepted. Previously, only numbers starting with 0 were recognized, which prevented some Belgian businesses from having their VAT validated on purchases.

API: attach a survey or scheduling link to a funnel step

When creating or updating a funnel step via the API, you can now pass survey_id or scheduling_link_id to attach the matching survey or scheduling link to the step. This makes it easy to build "survey" and "scheduling link" funnel steps end-to-end from your integration without needing extra calls.

Admin ui

When you pick an object in admin (e.g. a product, course, or list) and click the view link next to it, it now opens in the picture-in-picture modal instead of a new tab so you can stay in your flow.

Custom fields created via API now show up in your account

When you created a custom field through the API, it was saved but didn't appear in your account's custom fields list. Now fields created via the API are immediately visible and usable, just like fields created through the admin interface.

Duplicating a course now preserves its linked events and bot tier settings. Previously these were silently lost when you duplicated a course, so you had to re-add them manually.

Cleaned up how Meta Pixel events fire for opt-ins and signups so your Facebook ad reporting is accurate. List subscriptions, lead-magnet opt-ins, and bot signups now consistently fire the "Lead" event. Free product registrations fire "CompleteRegistration". Previously, the same opt-in could fire both events across different code paths (server-side, browser, …

Thursday

Reorganized the "Add Element" menu in the page builder into clearer groups: Wysiwyg (Preheadline, Headline, Subheadline, Paragraph, Bullet list), Form (Input, Button), Media, Layout, Objects, and Advanced (now also includes Progress bar and Countdown timer) — so common elements are easier to find.
