Changelog

Clearer, live page render status

The Page Render Status area now updates live while a page rebuilds: an animated indicator shows when a render is pending, the status keeps checking on its own until the page settles, and a 'Last rendered' time tells you how long ago it finished. Confirming that a rebuild has actually happened is now immediate and reliable.

Forcing a Page to Update

Smoother page browsing on large brands

Moving around your page tree no longer triggers unnecessary reloads or jumps back to the top, so navigating a brand with many pages feels quicker and keeps your place.

Better, fresher sitemaps

Sitemaps are now produced the moment you generate them instead of waiting behind the render queue, and each entry carries the page's real last-updated date rather than today's, so search engines get an accurate, up-to-date picture of your site.

Social & Sharing

Quotation marks no longer break page rendering

Pages whose content contains quote characters now render correctly, instead of certain quote sequences occasionally breaking the page.

Creating a Canvas Page

Search and filter your pages

The page browser has been rebuilt with a filter box: search your pages by name or path, see a live count of matches, and clear the search in one click. You can also switch between a Brand Pages view and a Brand Assets view. Behind the scenes the page tree now updates instantly after you create, move, or change pages, even on brands with a lot of pages.

Finding and Searching Your Pages

See and copy rejected items after a bulk upload

After a bulk (ZIP) upload, a Rejected tab lists every page and asset that was skipped along with the specific reason it was rejected, and a 'Copy rejection report' button copies the whole list so you can act on it or share it. No more guessing why something did not come through.

Uploading a Site with a ZIP

Current version clearly marked in content history

In a page's content history, the version you are currently on is now labelled 'Current' and locked, so you cannot accidentally restore the version you are already using, and dates are shown in a consistent format.

Clearer content version history

The content history view for a page is easier to read. It shows how many versions there are, numbers each one, gives an accurate count of what changed in each version, and states exactly what each version is compared against. Telling versions apart and restoring the right one is now much simpler.

More reliable bulk (ZIP) imports

Bulk imports are steadier. One problem page no longer stops the whole import, the rest of your pages still come through, and images on imported pages now display correctly instead of sometimes appearing broken.

Uploading a Site with a ZIP

Custom JavaScript in uploaded pages is now restricted

For security and compliance, pages brought in through a bulk (ZIP) import can no longer include custom JavaScript in the page body. Structured data for search engines (JSON-LD schema) is unaffected and keeps working as before. If your pages rely on custom scripts, please get in touch so we can help you find the right approach.

If a page you expected is missing after an import, a custom script in the page is the likely reason.

Building CSS-first Pages (no custom JavaScript), Uploading a Site with a ZIP

Correct custom-domain setup instructions

When you connect your own domain for a members area, the portal now shows the correct address to point your domain at for your type of brand. Some brands previously saw the wrong target.

Sitemaps work on temporary domains

Brands still on a temporary HubPeople address now get a valid sitemap, so search engines can read your pages before you have connected a custom domain.

Social & Sharing

See when a page was last rendered

The Page Render Status indicator in the page editor now shows a version number that ticks up each time a page is rebuilt, plus a last rendered time telling you how long ago the page finished rendering (for example '2 minutes ago'). It is now easy to confirm that a rebuild has happened, and when.

Forcing a Page to Update

Open a brand in a new tab

Opening a brand from My Brands now opens it in a new browser tab, so your brand list stays where it was while you work.

Help and feedback within reach

The dashboard navigation now has a direct Help link to this help centre and a Feedback link to the HubPeople community, so support and a place to share ideas are always one click away.

Share images use widely-supported formats

Social share images now accept JPG and PNG. SVG and WebP are no longer offered for share images, because social platforms do not display them reliably. Your other brand images are unaffected.

Social & Sharing

Clean up stale pages

A new Clean Stale HTML button clears out stale page HTML left over for your brand: for example when a page you deleted or moved still loads at its old address (often spotted when Google Search Console flags it as still returning a 200). Normally the platform tidies these up for you; this is there to force it on the occasions when one slips through.

Cleaning Up Stale Pages

Social and SEO controls for every page

Set a custom share image, title, and description for each page and watch a live preview update as you type, showing how the page will look when shared on social and how its search snippet will appear. Leave any field blank and it falls back to your brand-level defaults. Every page now generates search-engine markup automatically, and pages marked as articles can carry an author and publish date for richer search results.

Social & Sharing

Deeper page hierarchies

Organise pages up to seven levels deep, previously three.

Larger, faster bulk imports

Import a ZIP of up to 400MB to create pages in bulk. You review exactly what will be created, updated, or skipped before confirming, can pick which items to process, watch live progress with an estimated time remaining, cancel a running import at any time, and have images uploaded and linked for you automatically.

Creating Pages

More reliable custom domain linking

Linking your own domain is clearer and more robust, with an explicit confirmation before removing a domain and a 'your app is live' email once the link completes.

A more robust agentic toolkit

The agentic toolkit now runs through a single, more reliable flow with clearer error handling.

Working with the Agentic Toolkit

Cleaner link tracking

Partner tracking (the pn parameter) is now added only to your sign-up and registration links, rather than to every link on a page, so the rest of your links stay clean.

Bulk edit pages

Edit several pages at once: change their template, their SEO title, description, and keywords, and their navigation and footer menu and visibility. An 'apply to selected' shortcut copies a value across all the pages you have chosen.

Agentic toolkit downloads with brand data

When you download your toolkit you can choose to bundle in your own brand data, so it arrives pre-loaded with your real content. General toolkit improvements are included too.

Working with the Agentic Toolkit

Links with special characters

Links that contain characters like the ampersand now render correctly.

Reliable page search

Searching within your page hierarchy now works reliably.

Generate Canvas pages with AI

Select one or more pages and have AI draft their content. Set a creativity level and the instructions, add keywords per page, then track generation progress and view or edit the result.

Chat with Hubbi

Hubbi, the in-portal AI assistant, now has a full chat panel you can open on any screen. Ask about your brand, have it draft a plan before making any changes, or let it act directly: creating and updating pages, switching templates, and setting SEO. Replies stream in as they are written, with a stop button, an optional view of its reasoning, and one-tap follow-up suggestions.

Choose the AI model for your chat

Pick which AI model powers Hubbi and save it as your default.

Build several pages at once

Ask Hubbi to create up to twenty pages in one go and review them in a panel, adjusting each page's address, type, template, and SEO, before anything is created.

The agentic toolkit arrives

Download a ready-to-use toolkit bundle for working with the agentic toolkit for your brand, and upload files for the platform to process, with a review-and-confirm step before anything happens.
