Change Log

Several major improvements have been made to Block Presets, making them faster to create and easier to manage.

Create presets directly from the editor — You can now turn any block (and everything inside it) into a preset directly from the block menu in the content editor. No more rebuilding presets from scratch.

Editable properties — Preset authors can now mark specific block properties as editable, so users filling in a preset only see and edit what is relevant to them — keeping things simple and focused.

Live preset preview — Block presets now have a live preview, so you can see exactly how a preset will look before using it on a page.

You can now create brand-new images from a text description and edit existing ones directly inside the File Manager — no external tools needed.

Generate a new image — When selecting an image, a new "AI Generated" tab is available in the picker. Enter a text prompt, choose a style, aspect ratio, and quality, optionally add a reference image, and select how many variations to generate. Results appear in a gallery so you can compare and pick the best one. A caption can be written manually or suggested automatically from your prompt.

Edit an existing image — Open any image's quick view and use the AI editing options: Reframe to change the aspect ratio, Remove background, or Modify with AI to describe a change and get a new version. Every edit is saved as a separate version, so you can always roll back to the original.

AI-generated images are stored as normal File Manager assets — searchable, reusable, and versioned — and are marked with a ✨ badge on the thumbnail.

Please note: This feature is disabled by default and must be enabled by an admin in Entity Settings → AI Image Settings. A provider (Google Gemini, Ideogram, or OpenAI) with a valid API key is required. Costs are charged to the customer's own provider account per image generated. Note that OpenAI may refuse prompts containing religious terms such as "Bible", "Jesus", or "Christianity" — switching to Google Gemini or Ideogram is recommended in those cases.

Managing frontend user approvals is now faster and easier. Users who are pending approval are now listed in a separate "Waiting on approval" tab, making them easy to find without searching through the full user list. Administrators can approve users directly from the list with a single click — no need to open each user's detail page. A new Pending Approval block is also available to add to the pending approval page, so users are clearly informed of their status while waiting.

Course editors can now close enrollment for a course without hiding it from the website. This is useful in two situations: when a course is still being prepared but should already be visible, or when a course should no longer accept new students while allowing already-enrolled students to continue.

When enrollment is set to Closed, the "Start Course" button is removed from the course detail page. Courses with closed enrollment are also visually indicated in the courses list with a lock icon.

A new Organization field is now available in the Hope design registration form. When signing up, users can select their origin organization by choosing their Division, Union, and Conference in order. This information is saved to their profile and can be viewed and updated later in the Profile tab of their account.

A brand new File Manager is now available in Web Engine, giving every organization a central place to store, organize, and reuse all their images and documents.

Asset library — All images and documents are now stored in one browsable, searchable library per organization. No more re-uploading the same logo or PDF multiple times.

Pick or upload, everywhere — Wherever you previously uploaded an image or file, you now get a picker to either reuse an existing file from the library or upload a new one.

Folders and Collections — A file lives in one folder (its home), but can belong to multiple collections — great for grouping files like "all sermon PDFs" or "campaign images" without moving them.

See where a file is used — Each asset shows exactly where it is being used (pages, blocks, records). Files that are still in use or belong to a collection cannot be deleted until they are freed — protecting against accidental deletion.

Storage overview — Each organization can see their image and document storage usage at a glance.

Move to File Manager — Older files uploaded before the library existed can be registered into the library with one click — no re-upload needed.

Please note that some upload areas (avatars, site logo/favicon, fonts, audio uploads, and publication files) are not part of the File Manager and will continue to work as before.

Logged-in users on the Hope design now have access to a user menu, giving them quick access to their account settings and the option to sign out — consistent with the experience already available on other designs.

Several new data protection features have been added to the Events module to help organizers handle participant data responsibly and in compliance with privacy regulations.

Sensitive fields — Additional fields can now be marked as sensitive (e.g. allergies, dietary requirements, health data). When marked, participants will see a consent checkbox they must tick before submitting that information. The sensitive data type and consent text are fully configurable.

Data retention settings — In the Event Settings under the Data Protection tab, organizers can configure how long participant data is retained after an event ends. Sensitive data is deleted earlier than standard personal data. By default, personal data is anonymised 3 months after the event, and sensitive data is deleted after 6 weeks.

Incident reporting — To prevent accidental deletion of data linked to ongoing issues (e.g. payment disputes, allergy reactions, legal matters), organizers can flag a participant by reporting an incident. The participant's data will only be deleted once the incident has been resolved and removed.

Several new features have been added to the Events module to give organizers more flexibility:

Conditional additional fields — Additional fields can now be set to only appear based on the answer to a previous field. For example, a "Flight Number" field can be configured to only show when a participant selects "Aircraft" as their mode of transportation.

Comments on price, accommodation and meal options — You can now collect extra information when a participant selects a specific price, accommodation, or meal option. For example, asking "Who do you want to room with?" when a shared room is selected.

More additional fields — The limit for additional fields has been increased from 10 to 20.

Payment routing by delegation — You can now control which payment method is available based on a participant's answer to a select field. Certain options can be restricted to alternate payment only, others to Stripe only, or both can remain available as default.

You can now set a button or menu item to point to a dynamic page, such as a Category or Person page. After selecting the dynamic page, simply choose the specific record (e.g. a category like "Theology > Teachings") as the linked record — the URL is then resolved automatically.

This means that if a slug changes or a category moves in the hierarchy, the link will always stay up to date without any manual adjustments needed.

You can now choose to display the video player's own default poster instead of the AWE-uploaded image on the Episode Player and Article Linked Episode Player blocks. When enabled, the player's native UI is shown — including features like Jetstream's premiere label, which displays the scheduled premiere date and time. This option is available in the block's Properties panel under "Use the player's default poster".

Working with sourced fields in the block editor is now faster and more intuitive. The field path, name, and formatting are now clearly visible at a glance in both the block preview and settings panel. Toggling a sourced field on or off is now a direct action on the field itself, removing the need to go through the settings cog first. Editing the source value works similarly to before, and a fallback value can be set if needed. Turning the source off restores the standard input for that field.

The Hero Carousel block is now available for the Adventist design, allowing you to display multiple hero slides in a rotating carousel. Each carousel item supports responsive image selection and responsive style settings per breakpoint, so you can fine-tune how each slide looks across different screen sizes. Items can also be duplicated or hidden directly from the carousel settings, making it easy to manage and reorder your content.

The Adventist Design homepage hero now supports a rotating carousel, and a new full-screen button gives you the maximum canvas while building.

• Add as many carousel slides as you need, each independently editable

• Auto-rotation with a configurable duration per slide

• Edit, duplicate, hide, or delete individual carousel items

• Full-screen mode collapses all menus for maximum editing space

The Jetstream video player has been upgraded on the Adventist and Paul designs, bringing a smoother and more reliable video experience. This update delivers better responsiveness when playing or pausing videos, more consistent behavior across different video types and playlists, and single-click unmuted playback for AWE posters. While the visual change is subtle, the improvements under the hood lay a strong foundation for future video enhancements.

A brand new Analytics view is now available in Adventist Web Engine, offering a cleaner and more intuitive interface for understanding your website's performance. The update brings real-time traffic insights, improved visitor and page tracking, better visibility into traffic sources and audience behavior, and detailed statistics on devices, browsers, and locations. Enhanced comparison and reporting views are also included. This update also lays a stronger foundation for future analytics improvements.

The Sermon Planner now supports exporting schedules as PDF files, in addition to the CSV and Excel export options that were already available. Please note that PDF export is currently only available for websites using the DACH design.

The Article Filters block on the Adventist design now includes a new "Quarter" variant, which adds a from/to date filter to help visitors narrow down articles by a specific time period.

Several optimizations have been made to improve the loading speed of websites running on Web Engine. Testing shows a response time improvement of at least 35%, and up to 62% in some cases — meaning your website should feel noticeably faster for visitors.

The course module now supports certificates! A built-in certificate builder lets you create and configure certificates for your courses. In the courses list, an icon indicates which courses have certificates enabled.

Students can download their certificate in three ways: immediately after completing a course, at any time from their completed courses dashboard, or directly from the course detail page.

When adding an image to a component like the Hero block — where different images can be set per screen size — the image is only added to the breakpoint you are currently working at. For example, if you add an image at laptop width, smaller screen sizes like mobile will have no image.

A warning will now appear to let you know when this happens. You can either copy the image and paste it to the smaller breakpoints, or ignore the warning if you intentionally don't want the image to show on smaller screens.

The WordPress import tool now converts WordPress image galleries into the RTE Image Gallery plugin. Currently, only the images themselves are imported — galleries with captions on individual images are not yet supported.

Please note that the RTE Image Gallery plugin is not available in all designs yet, including the DACH design.

In some media libraries, media links for translated episodes were not being displayed, even when a value was present. This happened when the translated media link differed from the original language link due to imported content. This has now been fixed and translation media links are correctly shown.

A new Courses Collection Repeater block is now available for the Adventist design, allowing you to create custom course listings by repeating course collections as a data source. A source site option is also available, working similarly to the Articles, Episodes, and Events Feed blocks — the source site becomes the provider of available courses and collections. Course links will automatically point to the source site using absolute URLs.

The background layer display in the backend has been updated to better reflect how backgrounds are actually rendered on your site. Layers are now shown stacked from bottom to top, so what you see in the editor matches what appears on the page. The "Add background" button and sorting controls have also moved to below the list of backgrounds to keep things consistent.

The Language Menu block on the base design has been updated — you can now configure the colors of the menu items to better match your site's style.

The Articles Feed and Episodes Feed blocks now include a language selection option, allowing you to choose which language the feed content is displayed in. The available languages are based on what the source site has enabled. If no language is selected, the feed will default to the source site's default language.

The Newsletter editor has been updated with support for Rich Text blocks, giving editors more flexibility when creating newsletter content.

Rich Text (RTE) blocks can now be added to newsletter templates and marked as editable, meaning issue editors can customize the content of each block per issue — previously, only the Collection Repeater was editable. Each RTE block should have a label set for clarity, and a unique code is automatically generated.

In the issue editor, editable RTE blocks appear in document order, making it easy to add and manage content in context. Styling is intentionally kept simple — only basic text formatting is available, with images and other plugins disabled to maintain a clean, consistent newsletter layout. The final content of RTE blocks is fully rendered in the generated newsletter HTML.

A new Events Repeater block is now available, working similarly to other repeater blocks — its child blocks are automatically repeated for each event.

A wide range of event fields are available as data sources, giving you flexibility in what information is displayed. A new currency format option has also been added for number fields, allowing prices and other numeric values to be displayed as properly formatted currency. The currency used is pulled directly from the event's own currency field.

The DACH design now supports the Modal block. Additionally, for DACH, Adventist, and Paul designs, several new options are available in the Modal settings:

1. Prevent dismissal — When enabled, the modal cannot be closed by pressing "Esc" or clicking outside of it. The user must actively close it using the close button or a button inside the modal set to "Close modal dialog". Make sure the "Show close button" option is enabled in the Styles tab.

2. Auto open — The modal opens automatically when a user lands on the page, without any interaction needed.

3. Auto open delay — Controls how long after the page loads before the modal appears. The default is 1 second.

4. Dismissal duration — When a user closes an auto-opening modal, the browser remembers this so the modal doesn't keep reappearing on every visit or reload. You can set how long this is remembered (in minutes). The default is 24 hours.

The Sermon Planner now includes navigation buttons, making it easier to move horizontally through your content without having to scroll manually:

Your website now looks great on large screens, including Full HD, QHD, and 4K displays. For example, the Hero section automatically adjusts its proportions to fit bigger screens.

A new Social Media Links block is now available for the Paul and Adventist designs. This block automatically reads and displays the social media links configured in your site's Appearance → Social Links settings, making it easy to keep your social media presence consistent and up to date across your website.

In the Base design, the Newsletter subscription block now supports three new fields:

• Terms label: label for terms checkbox

• Terms link label: text when link used

• Terms description: information for terms checkbox

The base design now has a FormBuilder component in the frontend.

Bugfix:

Attribute fields for newsletters: the placeholder is now passed to the frontend.
