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.
