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

If you use the admin in dark mode, the "Add field" and "Edit field" side panels — including the field-type picker buttons and the "Field names for API" box — now adapt to dark mode instead of showing white boxes and hard-to-read text on a dark panel.

Adding common automation steps is now one click away.

• Send text message is right there in the quick "Action..." menu, next to "Send email" — no more digging through the full action list.

• When your automation runs on event participants, you'll also see A day before event and An hour before event in the quick "Wait..." menu, so scheduling reminders ahead of an event takes a single click.

If you work in dark mode, your admin lists now look a little calmer and easier on the eyes.

Row and header dividers are softer instead of harsh bright lines, links are a brighter, more readable blue, and hovering a link now simply underlines it rather than shifting its color. Green status badges also get a proper dark-mode treatment instead of glowing too bright.

It's automatic — just switch to dark mode and your tables will look tidier.

The “Your tasks” widget on your admin dashboard is now the same smart table you see everywhere else in Simplero. You can mark a task complete, edit it inline, and page through your due tasks without leaving the dashboard.

When a video didn't have a thumbnail yet — because it was just uploaded or still being processed — it used to look broken: a play button stacked on top of another play button in the player, or a play icon jammed into the corner of your lesson list.

Now those videos get a clean, intentional look instead — a subtle dark panel with a single centered play butto…

When you tab through a form with a phone field, the keyboard now skips the country flag selector and lands right on the number — one less stop to tab past. The flag is still there to click whenever you need to change the country.

When an event is already over, the registration area now says "The event is already over" instead of the confusing "Registrations are closed." It also reads as a calm status message rather than a grayed-out button, so visitors immediately understand they didn't miss a chance to sign up — the event simply happened already.

On your Events list, the facets sidebar on the right can now be tucked away with the sidebar button in the top header (next to the ⋯ menu), giving the list the full width of your screen. Click it again to bring the sidebar back, and Simplero remembers your choice.

Open any event's Registration settings and you'll see two new fields: Notify these emails of new registrations and Text these phone numbers of new registrations. Add comma-separated lists of who to ping, and every new registration triggers a heads-up email and SMS. For events with manual approval, the email includes a one-click approve link so you can act without leaving your inbox.

The in-app feature guide panel — the one with the intro video and tips — was stuck with a light blue background in dark mode, which left the heading and button hard to read. It now uses a proper dark, blue-tinted background with readable text, so it looks at home whether you work in light or dark mode.

When you edit event occurrences or event settings in the product wizard, the date/time range picker now uses the app's native UI styling (including dark mode) while keeping the same typing and duration behavior. This makes scheduling changes clearer and more consistent with the rest of the admin UI.

When you open a single contact's flow through an automation, the key facts now sit right at the top of the screen — when it started, the current step, when the next step will run, and what that next step is — instead of being tucked away in the sidebar where they were easy to miss.

The activity log underneath is easier to scan too: each step has its own colum…

When you open an individual contact's automation flow, the action menu now includes Go to step — the same as the flows table. Jump a flow straight to any step in the automation without having to go back to the list view first.

On the content page your customers see after buying, courses now appear as a clean, easy-to-scan list when there are five or fewer — the same row style already used for sites and other content — instead of being squeezed into a grid of small cards. With more than five courses, the grid kicks in so everything still fits nicely. Nothing to set up; it just looks better, especially on mobile.

The explanatory help box on the Automations tab is now a calmer, narrower banner — and you can dismiss it once you've got the gist. Click Got it, thanks (or the ×) and it collapses into a small “What are automations?” chip, so it's out of your way but one click away if you ever want it back.

When you add a starter automation from a template — like a welcome email or an email sequence — the emails now start enabled, so they're ready to go. No more hunting for a switch to turn each one on.

Setting up reminders for your events just got a lot simpler. On any event's Automation tab, the menu now suggests a ready-made reminder sequence tailored to your event:

• In-person events — a registration confirmation, then reminders 2 days before and 8 hours before the event.

• Online events — a registration confirmation, then reminders 1 day before and 1 hour before.

Pick the suggestion and we build the whole sequence for you, timed to your event's start. The emails come in as drafts so you can write them in your own voice before turning the automation on.

In the catalog and events facet sidebars, each value now shows as a clear color-coded pill. Editing a value updates its row instantly, and the drag handle, edit, and ⋯ controls stay out of the way until you hover — so the list is calmer and easier to scan.

The "Send text message" step panel looked washed out in dark mode — the message box, the segment counter, and the personalize menu kept light backgrounds. They now use the proper dark surfaces and readable text, like the rest of the admin.

When you drag a file onto a course section to add it as lessons, the section now lights up with a soft blue tint and a dashed blue frame instead of the old bright-yellow fill. It's a calmer, clearer signal of exactly where your file will drop. Row highlights no longer flicker and trail behind your cursor while you drag, so the whole interaction feels smoother. And when you drag a file onto a whole page — like your media library — you'll see a clean "Drop files to upload" overlay instead of the entire page lighting up.
