The site sidebar now has six groups instead of nine, and invited clients get an "Ask for a change" page that sends their request straight to your team. **Where:** Your site's left sidebar; the client portal (left rail → Ask for a change, and the portal home); Settings → Client portal → invite a client. **How to test:** 1. Open any site. The sidebar groups are Website, Messages & customers, Marketing, Results, Store (shops only) and Site settings. Social accounts and publishing settings are under Site settings. 2. Open the client portal as a client who can review. Choose "Ask for a change", write a request, pick a page and send. You see "Sent to your team." 3. Back in your site, the request appears under Website → Feedback, and you get the usual new-feedback notification. 4. Start a new client invite and open "Customize feature access": Analytics is ticked by default. Clients you invited before keep exactly the access they had. **Watch for:** a sidebar tool missing from every group; "Ask for a change" offered to a view-only client; Analytics appearing for a client who was invited before this change without it.
Every Monday morning, owners of live sites get one short email with the week's most useful news for their business and a ready-to-use idea for each, and ideas now follow your brand's voice, with an optional witty version. **Where:** Your inbox every Monday (about 08:40 India time). Urgent stories, such as a recall or a security flaw, arrive as their own email. In Mission Control, the "In the news for your business" card now offers a Straight or Witty version of an idea, and "Use this idea" rewrites it in your brand's voice. Turn these emails off under Notification settings → Marketing ideas. **How to test:** Own a live site with timely ideas in Mission Control. On Monday you should receive "This week for <your business>: N things worth knowing" (or "This week across your N websites…" if you run several). Each story shows which of your sites it affects, a line for each, and a "Use for <business>" button that opens that site's Mission Control with the idea highlighted. Open an idea with a witty version, pick Witty, press "Use this idea" and check it reads in your brand's voice. **Watch for:** A story listed for a site it does not affect, more than one digest in a week, a jokey version of a recall or safety story, real people's names or quotes in witty copy, or a button that opens the wrong site.
Marketing now opens on Ideas: news moments, places to get listed, marketing tasks and planned posts in one list, ordered for your site's main goal with a short note on why each fits, and one button on each that does the work and takes you to it. **Where:** Your site → Marketing → Ideas (in the side menu: Marketing → Ideas) **How to test:** Open Ideas on a site that has run a marketing scan. Click "Draft the post" on a news idea and check the post opens in the calendar. Click "Start outreach" on a directory and check the outreach opens. Click "Not for us" on any idea and check it is gone, and also gone from its old list (Opportunities, Tasks or Backlog). **Watch for:** Change the site's goal on Home and reopen Ideas: the order and the notes should change to match. An idea that fails to act should stay in the list with a message. Ideas already used or dismissed must not appear. Article and email ideas open where they are written.
New sites get one Home link, legal pages only in the footer, no internal template pages in the menu, upcoming sample event dates, headings that never hyphenate, and every planned section filled in, with sample figures and testimonials where you haven't given your own. Creative Studio interface mockups now show real screens. **Where:** Building a new site (any vertical), the Pages list and menus in the editor, Creative Studio › Create (mockups), and the connector tools upload_brand_asset, get_calendar and set_post_cover. **How to test:** 1. Generate a restaurant and a realtor site. The header has one "Home", no Privacy Policy or Terms of Service (those are in the footer), and the restaurant's menu link reads "Menu", with no "Menu Items" or menu-template page in the Pages list. 2. Generate a coach or events site. The sample workshops and events are dated in the coming months. 3. Look at a long hero heading at 1280px wide: it wraps between words, never "mas- tering". 4. Check the trust, testimonial and team sections: they are all there, filled with realistic sample content you can edit, and anything you supplied appears exactly as you wrote it. 5. In Creative Studio, make a portrait mockup of a website with the interface style: the options are phone or long-page screens, not posters, and carry no "As featured in" press logos. 6. Through the connector: upload an image with a name and see the name kept; read a few weeks of the calendar and get a short summary with paging. **Watch for:** a real page that disappears from the menu or the published site, a header menu that turns into the mobile menu on a laptop screen, an event whose date the owner gave being changed, and hero photos unrelated to the business.
The review link your clients open now shows each post the way it will look on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn or X, including where the caption gets cut off, with three clear buttons: Skip, Note and Approve. **Where:** The client review link you send from Review in Creative Studio. It opens on your white-label address, or a neutral one. **How to test:** Send a post for client review and open the link on a phone and on a computer. Switch between the platforms under the post. Skip one post, add a note to another, and approve a third. Open the Calendar tab and check each post shows its day and answer. In Creative Studio, the skipped post shows "Skipped by client". **Watch for:** Approve staying off on a carousel until every picture has been viewed, the buttons staying at the bottom of a phone screen, and a skip with a note arriving as a change request.
The connect screen no longer makes you choose a daily credit limit before your assistant can create images, video or voice. API keys no longer have a daily credit limit either. Your Creative Studio credit balance is the only limit, the same as in the browser. **Where:** Connect Mondovo to Claude (or another assistant) → the "Allow access" screen **How to test:** Connect a new assistant with creative access. The screen should show no "Daily credit limit" dropdown, and approving should connect straight away. Generating an image from the assistant should then work and draw on the workspace's credits. **Watch for:** Approving fails or loops back with an error; creative tools refusing to run for a newly connected assistant.
A video you mark "Use as it is" is no longer chopped into a few seconds when you ask for it to be narrated, so a four-minute walkthrough gets a four-minute storyboard instead of a 15-second one. **Where:** Creative Studio → a film with your own video set to "Use as it is" → ask for it to be narrated **How to test:** Upload a long screen recording (2+ minutes), keep it as it is, paste a voiceover script for it and ask for an AI voice to read it. The storyboard should show stretches of your recording adding up to its full length. **Watch for:** A storyboard that is much shorter than the recording, a silent last stretch treated as an end card, or "I couldn't write the script" on long recordings.
A voice recording (M4A, MP3, WAV) added to a video in Creative Studio is now listened to and transcribed. Before, it was kept on the film unheard, so Studio said there was no script and could not re-voice it. **Where:** Creative Studio → Video → drop or attach a recording in the chat **How to test:** On a film that already has a screen recording, attach an .m4a voiceover and ask to narrate it in an AI voice. Studio should quote your words back and plan to its length. **Watch for:** A reply saying there is no script, or a voiceover that shows 0 seconds.
When you paste your own script and ask for it to be used as it is, the Studio chat now puts your words on the storyboard exactly as written instead of treating them as notes to rewrite. And when your voice recording plays over one long stretch of your own video, that stretch is split into consecutive scenes at the points where you start a new sentence, so each scene's words stay a readable length. **Where:** Creative Studio → Video → the film chat beside the storyboard **How to test:** Paste a short script into the chat with "use exactly this script", check the storyboard shows your lines word for word. On a film with your own screen recording and a voice memo, ask for a storyboard: the recording should appear as several scenes in a row, each with part of your words. **Watch for:** A pasted script reworded or shortened; a scene of your recording whose spoken words run to several paragraphs; any of your recorded words missing from the storyboard.
Home now shows the posts, articles and site updates from the last week with the numbers each has so far, and timely ideas moved up where you can see them. **Where:** Your site → Home (once the site is live), below your numbers **How to test:** On a live site that posted to social or published an article in the last 7 days, open Home. Check the post count and likes or views, click a post to open it, and click an article to open the live page with its views. **Watch for:** The card should not appear at all when nothing went out. Article views only show when visitor stats are on. A post without numbers yet should show no numbers rather than zeros.
Mission Control Home now leads with how the site is actually doing, keeps your goal in view with an optional monthly target, and "Use this idea" on a news idea now writes a real draft post you can open. **Where:** Your site → Home (top of the page), and the "In the news for your business" card. **How to test:** 1. Open a live site's Home. The number tiles show visits, enquiries and (for shops or booking sites) orders or bookings for the last 7 days, compared with the 7 days before, plus how many people are waiting for a reply. The tile for your main goal comes first. 2. Under the tiles, "Your goal" shows your main goal. Click "Set a monthly target", pick a goal, enter a number (for example 6000) and save. The line now shows how far this month has got and whether you are on track. 3. On a news idea for a social post, click "Make a draft post". A green line says which network and day the draft is for and offers "Open the draft", which opens it in the post editor. Nothing is published until you schedule it. **Watch for:** a visits tile showing a number when visitor stats are off (it should say to turn them on); orders or bookings tiles on a site that sells nothing; a second draft post being made when "Use this idea" is clicked again on the same idea.
The inbox now opens with one short list of the people waiting on you — new enquiries, chat visitors who asked for a person, booking requests, orders to send and reviews to answer — newest first, each one a click from where you deal with it. **Where:** Your site → Messages & customers → Inbox (Submissions or Conversations). **How to test:** 1. Send a test enquiry through a form on a live site, or ask the site chat "can I talk to a person?". It appears under "Needs a reply" with who it is and what they want. 2. Click an enquiry: the submission opens. Click a chat: the conversation opens. A booking opens Appointments, an order opens Orders and a review opens Reviews. 3. Mark the enquiry read, resolve the chat, confirm the booking, send the order or answer the review, then come back: it has left the list. 4. With nobody waiting, the list does not appear at all. **Watch for:** test or spam enquiries in the list; a chat that asked for a person not showing; an item that stays after it was dealt with.
When you describe your rooms, menu or products while creating a site, the site now lists exactly those items, however many there are, instead of padding the list with invented ones, and writes them in your site's language. **Where:** Creating a new site (in the app, or from ChatGPT/Claude), then Content Manager for the catalog **How to test:** Create a homestay site whose description names 7 specific rooms; check the Rooms collection has exactly those 7, with descriptions in the site's language and sample prices you can edit. Create a restaurant site that names no dishes; check it gets a typical example menu priced in the local currency. **Watch for:** Items the owner never mentioned appearing in the list; a listed item missing; descriptions in English on a non-English site.
Pages that read from a shared settings module (like a pricing page that loads live prices) now preview correctly in the site editor instead of showing a crash. **Where:** Site editor → Site → open a page that pulls shared data (e.g. the Pricing page) **How to test:** Open the page in the editor; it should render fully with prices and no error panel. **Watch for:** A "something went wrong" panel on the page preview, or prices missing only in the editor but present on the live site.
Reviewers on a shared preview now see one "Comment" action instead of Feedback, Annotate and Comments. On a phone, a comment is about the whole page, so there's no pin to place. The star rating only appears while someone is choosing between several designs, and a finished (build) site shows no review tools unless the owner has shared it for review. **Where:** Open a shared preview link. On a phone, use the round button in the bottom-right corner; on desktop, use "Comment" in the top bar. **How to test:** On a phone, tap the round button, then Comment, and send a comment; it appears under "See comments" as "About the whole page". On desktop, click Comment, then click something on the page, or choose "Or comment on the whole page". Open a preview with a single design and check that "Rate this design" is missing. Open an unshared build site's preview link and check that no review button appears. **Watch for:** A page comment showing up as a pin in the top-left corner, a comment failing to send, and the rating showing on a single-design preview.
On phones, and on desktop with the preview bar hidden, the Feedback, Annotate and Comments buttons now sit behind one small round button in the corner instead of a large bar over the site. Our own staff opening a customer's preview no longer get the reviewer actions, so their clicks can't land in the customer's review inbox. **Where:** Open any shared preview link on a phone, or on desktop click "Hide bar". **How to test:** Tap the round button in the bottom-right corner. Feedback, Annotate and Comments open in a small menu. Pick Annotate: a single "Exit annotate" button replaces the round one until you tap it. **Watch for:** The menu not closing when you tap outside it or press Esc, and no way out of annotate mode on a phone.
The dashboard now lists the newest people waiting on you across every client site, and each site's Needs a reply list also shows open comments on the site and posts waiting for your approval. **Where:** Dashboard (top of your client list); and on any site, Leads → Needs a reply **How to test:** With a new enquiry on one client site and a comment left on another, open the dashboard and check both appear under "Waiting on you" with the site name, then click each to land on that site's inbox or Feedback screen. On a site, leave a comment in review and check it shows as "Comment" in Needs a reply. Resolve it and check it disappears. **Watch for:** Test orders must not appear. Someone with access to only some sites must not see this list. Posts to approve only show for the person whose approval they need.
Each site card on your dashboard now says how many people are waiting on you there — new enquiries, chat visitors who asked for a person, booking requests, orders to send and reviews to answer — next to the existing "Waiting on client" chip. **Where:** Dashboard → Sites (grid or list). **How to test:** 1. Send a test enquiry on one of your live sites. 2. Open the dashboard: that site's card shows "1 waiting on you". 3. Open the site, deal with it from Inbox → Needs a reply, and return: the chip goes away. **Watch for:** a count that does not match the site's own "Needs a reply" list; chips showing for a team member who was only given some sites.
Asking the AI (or a Feedback item) to "add a WhatsApp button" no longer fails with a phone-format error: it uses the number already on your site, or asks you which number to use. **Where:** Site editor → AI chat, or Feedback → Changes → run an item like "Add a WhatsApp enquiry button." **How to test:** On a site with a phone number in its contact details, ask to add a WhatsApp button and check it opens a chat with that number (country code included). On a site with no number, the reply asks for the WhatsApp number; answer with the number and the button is added. **Watch for:** A WhatsApp link missing its country code, or a "phone must contain 7–15 digits" message.
Scheduled Instagram and Facebook carousels with many slides could run out of time while sending and sit at "publishing" without ever going out. Slides are now sent together, so a seven-slide carousel goes out in seconds. **Where:** Creative Studio → Calendar → any carousel queued to Instagram or Facebook **How to test:** Queue a 7+ slide image carousel to Instagram and Facebook a few minutes ahead; check both show it published with a link, in the right slide order. **Watch for:** Slides out of order; a carousel left at "publishing" for more than a few minutes.
On a silent recording, such as a screen recording, the Captions and Music switches in a polished video stayed locked even after you added a voiceover. Captions now follow the voiceover's words. Music can be switched on even when the automatic polish left it off; it picks a quiet track for you. **Where:** Creative Studio → Video → open a polished upload → Polished panel (Captions, Music) **How to test:** Upload a recording with no speech, let it polish, add a voiceover in the chat, then switch Captions on and Music on. **Watch for:** Captions should show the voiceover's lines in time with the voice. Music should switch on with a quiet track. "Cut long pauses" stays off only when there were no pauses to cut.
Links to published Facebook Page posts now use the Page's own name, so they open in the Facebook mobile app instead of showing "This content isn't available". **Where:** Creative Studio → Calendar → a published Facebook post → View post **How to test:** Publish a post to a connected Facebook Page (ideally one on Facebook's new Pages experience). Open its "View post" link on a phone with the Facebook app installed. It should open the post. The link should read facebook.com/<your-page-name>/posts/<number>. **Watch for:** Reel and video links changing shape (they should stay as they were), or a post link that names a different Page.
A finished video can now go on a post exactly as it is, Video Studio no longer edits a clip before reading your instructions, and the YouTube title and description of a scheduled post can be changed without unscheduling it. **Where:** Creative Studio › Calendar › a post › Publish (YouTube), and Creative Studio › Video when opening your own video. Through the connector: attach_video_to_post, create_motion_project `from`, update_social_post, queue_post_for_publishing. **How to test:** 1. Attach your own finished MP4 to a planned post with attach_video_to_post `asset_id` (or `video_url`). The post's media is the file unchanged, no Video Studio film is made, and a cover picture already on the post is still there. 2. Open a finished video with create_motion_project `from: { video_url, as_is: true }`. When it has been read, captions and music are off and the length is unchanged. Before it is read, get_studio_video shows `aspect_ratio: null` and `shape: "detecting"` (or the measured shape), not 16:9 / 15 s. 3. Open a raw recording without `as_is` and send a message straight away. No automatic captions, music or pause cuts are applied, and your message is carried out once the video is read, without being asked to send it again. 4. On a post queued to YouTube, open the post: the YouTube title and description fields are shown. Change the description and title; the post stays queued and the queued upload shows the new title. 5. Queue a post to YouTube, then queue it again with a different title: it is accepted and stays scheduled. **Watch for:** a finished clip that still gets captions or music; a message sent during the read that is never answered; a YouTube upload that has already started now refuses a title change with a clear message (that is intended).
Agencies can now sign up and apply to the founding partner programme in two steps, and the first 20 are switched on straight away with white-label and 3 free live client sites on their clients' own domains. **Where:** app.mondovo.com/auth/register-partner → application form → dashboard. Admins: Admin → Founding partners. **How to test:** Open /auth/register-partner in a private window, create an account, fill in the agency form and tick the terms. You should see "You're a founding partner" with end dates, a banner on the dashboard, white-label switched on, and the workspace on Pro with 3 free live sites. The application appears under Admin → Founding partners. With 20 partners already active, a new applicant sees the waitlist message instead, and Approve on the admin page switches them on. **Watch for:** A new account being sent to onboarding instead of the form; a second application from the same person (it should be refused); a workspace that already pays being moved off its paid plan (it should get white-label only and show "needs attention").
Asking the AI to make the picture for a planned social post now shows the proposed image instead of "Request failed: 500". **Where:** Mission Control → Social posts → open a post → Continue designing with AI **How to test:** Open a planned Instagram post (even a blank one), click Continue designing with AI, and send "Make the picture for this Instagram post." A proposal card with its credit cost should appear. **Watch for:** Any "Request failed" message in the creator panel, or a reply that lists your posts and brand kit without proposing a picture.
When something happens that matters to your kind of business where you are — a food recall, a security flaw in the software websites run on, a platform change, a festival or big match coming up — Mission Control now shows it with a ready-to-use idea, and urgent ones can reach you as a notification. **Where:** Mission Control Home ("In the news for your business") and the top of Marketing. Notifications come under the new "Marketing ideas" setting in your notification preferences. **How to test:** Open Mission Control for a published site. If there is recent news for its industry and country you'll see up to three items, each with why it matters, its sources and an idea. If nothing has been checked recently you'll see "Checking today's news for your business…" for a few seconds first. Press "Use this idea": the idea is rewritten for your business and added to your content plan, and "Copy starter text" copies it. Press "Not relevant" to dismiss one. **Watch for:** News from the wrong country or region, items without a source, ideas that repeat, more than two alerts a week for one site, or the checking message never resolving.
Social accounts now have their own page: connect your accounts, see who posts where at a glance, and choose which publishing profile posts to each account with one click. **Where:** In your site's left menu, Social → Social accounts (or search "Social accounts" in All tools). In Creative Studio, Accounts in the side menu. **How to test:** Open Social accounts, connect an account, then use "Posts as" on its card to pick a profile. Check "Who posts where" updates, and that a new post for that profile starts with the account selected. **Watch for:** A "Posts as" choice that doesn't stick after a refresh, the page missing from All tools, and connect flows that don't come back to this page.
Instagram's profile grid shows only the middle of a reel's cover, so covers we make now keep their words there, the cover picker shows both views side by side, and a cover picture whose words would be cut off gets a warning. **Where:** Creative Studio › Calendar › a reel post › Cover, and Creative Studio › Video › a finished 9:16 film's cover. Through the connector: set_post_cover. **How to test:** 1. Open a reel post with a cover picture or a chosen frame. Under the cover, two previews show: "Reels" (the full picture) and "Grid" (its middle, as the profile grid shows it). 2. Make a cover for a reel ("Make a cover from this frame"), or a designed cover for a 9:16 film. The headline sits in the middle of the picture, never along the very top or bottom. 3. Set a cover picture with words near the top edge through set_post_cover. The cover is saved, and the result says which words the grid cuts off. **Watch for:** a made cover with its headline at the very top or bottom; a warning on a cover whose words are all in the middle; a set_post_cover that becomes noticeably slow.
Copying a post now keeps its picture or video. You can ask the assistant to "post this reel on X too" and it copies the post to that network, writes copy that fits, and queues it, without re-attaching anything. **Where:** Creative Studio → Posts (Duplicate on a post), or ask the Creative Studio assistant or the site assistant. **How to test:** Ask the assistant to repost a published Instagram reel to X with a short caption and publish it now. Check the X post has the video and the new caption. **Watch for:** A copy that arrives without its video, a caption cut off mid-sentence when no new caption was given, and a reel that doesn't become a video post on X.
Retrying a drawn scene in a Creative Studio film now draws it again properly. Before, the retry reused the same drawing that had failed, so it failed again. A free retry could also leave the film showing "making" forever, with no way to stop it or retry again. **Where:** Creative Studio → a film → a scene marked failed → Retry **How to test:** Open a film with a failed drawn scene, press Retry and approve. The scene is drawn again. If it still fails, it shows as failed again and Retry is offered, rather than staying "making". **Watch for:** A retried scene that sits on "making" for more than a few minutes; a retry that charges when the card said free. Also: if you edit a scene that failed (its picture, length or a Remake), it now shows as changed and the film's Make button remakes it with your edit. Before, the button said "Nothing to make".
Posts that went out through Mondovo now show their numbers (views, reach, likes, comments, shares, saves where the platform shares them) and can be deleted from Facebook, X, LinkedIn and YouTube without leaving the post — and the assistant can answer "how did my posts do?" and "take that post down". **Where:** Creative Studio → Calendar → open a published post → Publishing → Delivery status. Also the Studio assistant and connected AI apps. **How to test:** Open a post that has gone out. Each account it went to shows its numbers; press "Refresh numbers". Press "Delete from Facebook" (or X / LinkedIn), confirm, and check the post is gone from the account and the row reads "Removed". Ask the assistant "how did last week's posts do?". **Watch for:** Instagram rows should say the post has to be deleted in the Instagram app rather than offering a button; a YouTube channel connected for uploads should say to delete in YouTube Studio; LinkedIn rows should say numbers aren't available; a number a platform doesn't report must be missing, never shown as 0.
On Social accounts, one press now looks at your business and the accounts you've connected and suggests your publishing profiles, such as your brand and you as the founder. It also says which accounts each one posts to and how each sounds, and you review it before anything is saved. The assistant can do the same in chat. **Where:** Social → Social accounts → "Suggest for me" (also offered automatically when an account isn't in any profile). In chat: "set up who posts where". **How to test:** With a company Page and a personal LinkedIn connected, press Suggest for me. Check the Page lands under the brand and the LinkedIn under the founder, rename or move one, press Apply, and check "Who posts where" matches. **Watch for:** A personal profile grouped as the brand, a profile named generically ("Founder") instead of the person, an existing profile's own voice being overwritten, and the suggestion appearing again after "Not now" for the same accounts.
In chat, in the studio and through connected AI apps, you can now ask the assistant to approve a post or request changes, leave a review note, send posts to a client for review, publish to YouTube, check whether a post went out (and why not), and get a link to connect or reconnect an account, or a link to send a client so they can connect theirs. **Where:** Creative Studio chat, the site assistant, and the Mondovo connector in other AI apps **How to test:** In Creative Studio chat, ask "what's waiting for my review?", then "approve that one". Ask "did yesterday's post go out?" and "give me a link to reconnect Instagram". **Watch for:** An approval or note is always confirmed with you before it's saved; a client link is only emailed when you ask for that.
Scheduled videos and reels now upload straight to LinkedIn and play in LinkedIn's own player, instead of being refused. **Where:** Creative Studio → Posts, on any post going to a connected LinkedIn profile. **How to test:** Attach a short MP4 to a LinkedIn post, schedule it a few minutes ahead, and check it appears on the profile as a playable video with the caption. **Watch for:** A video stuck as "processing", a post that goes out without its video, and files over 100 MB, which are refused.
The free Website Grader now tells owners when their site runs on a PHP version that no longer gets security fixes, or that is missing the emergency PHP security fixes released on 21 October 2026, in plain language with what to ask their host. **Where:** mondovo.com → Free tools → Website grader **How to test:** Grade a WordPress site that shows its PHP version in its response headers (for example one sending `X-Powered-By: PHP/7.4.33`). The report should show "Your site runs on software that no longer gets security fixes" under Trust & leads, near the top of the issue list. A site that hides its version should show the low-priority "We couldn't see which PHP version your site runs" note, and a site that isn't on PHP should show neither. **Watch for:** PHP issues appearing for sites that don't run PHP, the PHP issue being counted in the SEO score, or the exact version numbers and dates being reworded or dropped from the issue text. Reports are cached for 30 days, so re-test with a domain that hasn't been graded recently.
Agencies that turn on white-label now get a short setup checklist by email and in the app, there's a full setup guide, and the DNS records for their dashboard and client portal domains no longer mention Mondovo. **Where:** The email arrives when the Agency add-on turns on (button: "Set up white-label"). Guide: mondovo.com/blog/white-label-setup-guide. DNS: Workspace settings → White-Label Branding → Dashboard domain, and Site → Settings → Portal → Custom Portal Domain. **How to test:** Turn on the add-on for a test workspace (Admin → Organizations → Comp add-on) and check the owner's bell and inbox for "White-label is on. Here's how to set it up". Add a dashboard domain and check the CNAME value no longer contains "mondovo". With a verified dashboard domain, open a site's domain screen on app.mondovo.com and copy the DNS setup guide link: it should start with the agency's domain. **Watch for:** The email arriving twice for one workspace; a dashboard or portal domain that never activates after pointing at the new record value.
An AI edit that added a social icon the site had no definition for (for example Pinterest) saved anyway and made the whole footer show "couldn't be displayed". Edits like that are now caught and retried before they are saved, and the affected site's footer was repaired. **Where:** Site Editor → Ask for changes **How to test:** Ask the AI to add a Pinterest link with its brand colour to the footer. The footer should keep rendering after the edit. **Watch for:** A section showing "couldn't be displayed here" right after an AI edit, or an edit that uses price formatting being refused.
When you asked Claude or ChatGPT to make an image or video "in Mondovo", the assistant opened your full sites gallery first instead of starting the picture. It now goes straight to Creative Studio and only shows the gallery when you open Mondovo with nothing specific in mind. **Where:** Any AI chat connected to Mondovo **How to test:** In a chat with the Mondovo connector, ask "make an image of a sunset café scene in Mondovo". The assistant should check your brands and quote the image, with no sites gallery. Then say just "hi Mondovo": the sites gallery (or welcome card) should still appear. **Watch for:** The gallery appearing for a specific request, or the welcome card no longer appearing for a brand-new account.
Changing one file or a few lines of copy through the Mondovo connector used to take about two and a half minutes on a large site, because every page was rechecked twice. Now only the pages the edit can affect are checked, so most edits save in a few seconds. **Where:** Mondovo connector in Claude or ChatGPT: editing a page's code or copy **How to test:** On a site with 30+ pages, change one headline through the connector and time the save. Then introduce a deliberate error in the edited page: it should still be refused. **Watch for:** An edit that breaks another page being accepted.
Two kinds of change were being thrown away: an edit where the AI also moved the section it was working on, and an edit where the AI said it had updated a section but returned it unchanged. The first now keeps the edit and puts the section back where it was; the second is retried with a stronger model instead of being reported as done. **Where:** Site editor → Feedback → Changes (and the design assistant chat) **How to test:** On a site with a Projects section, send "Add a dedicated Projects section with large images" and "Each project should display the room type, design style and a short description" as Feedback changes. **Watch for:** Both cards should show as applied. The Projects section should stay in its original position on the page, and each project card should show its design style.
When a Feedback change came back with "Didn't work", the card showed a placeholder dressed up as a question the AI never asked. It now shows the real reason, for example that the edit would have moved other sections of the page, so you know how to reword it. **Where:** Site editor → Feedback → Changes **How to test:** Send a change that the AI declines to save (for example one that would reorder the page sections) and open its card. **Watch for:** The red text on a "Didn't work" card should read "Nothing changed — no edit was applied:" followed by a specific reason, never "The AI asked: Nothing changed".
Opening Feedback in the site editor now shows the whole panel: the Layout, Preview and Edit buttons no longer cover its title and tabs. **Where:** Site editor → Feedback (speech-bubble icon in the top toolbar) **How to test:** Open a site in the editor, click the Feedback icon, and check the panel's title, subtitle and tabs are fully visible and clickable. From a change, pick "Which design is this for?" and check that picker opens on top of the panel. **Watch for:** Toolbar buttons showing through the panel, or the design picker opening behind it.
Submitting a form with a required field empty, then changing what the form shows (for example switching a tab), could turn a published page blank. Error messages now appear without moving the field, so the page keeps working. **Where:** Any published site with a form; mondovo.com's homepage box **How to test:** On mondovo.com, press "Plan my site" with the box empty, then switch to "Redesign my site" and back. The page should stay intact and the box should work. **Watch for:** Error messages appearing in the wrong place on side-by-side fields (first and last name).
Deleting a page such as "Home Care Services" or "Homestays" was refused as if it were the home page. Only the real home page is protected now. **Where:** Site editor → Pages → page menu → Delete (and the Mondovo connector's delete page) **How to test:** On a site with a page whose name contains "home" (not the home page), delete it. It should go to the trash and leave the menu. Then try deleting the home page: it should still be refused. **Watch for:** The home page being deletable; a restored page not coming back from the trash.
Publishing a larger site no longer repeats its preparation partway through, and after a small edit only the pages that show that content are rebuilt. The rest are carried over unchanged. **Where:** Any site → Publish **How to test:** Publish a site with 30+ pages. Then change one line of copy on a single page and publish again. The second publish should finish noticeably faster, and the live site should show the edit on that page and nowhere else. **Watch for:** A page still showing old text after publishing; a shared menu or footer edit that does not appear on every page; a publish that stays on "publishing" for more than a few minutes. **Fixed the same day:** a republish where every page was unchanged was refused as "an empty version" on sites with blog or collection templates. It now publishes, copying the unchanged pages.
A publish that started while a background refresh was running could report success without putting your changes live. It now says a refresh is running and asks you to try again a moment later, and a failed publish shows as an error instead of "published". **Where:** Site editor → Publish, and the Mondovo connector's publish tool **How to test:** Edit a page, publish, and check the live page shows the edit. Publish twice in quick succession: the second should say a publish is already running. **Watch for:** A publish that reports success while the live page still shows the old version.
Sites can now show real, coloured logos for Pinterest, TikTok, WhatsApp, X, Threads, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor and about 40 other brands. Before, asking for "real social icons with colors" could crash the footer or quietly show a star where the Pinterest logo should be. **Where:** Site editor → design assistant or Feedback, e.g. "add real social icons with colors to the footer" **How to test:** On a site with social links (include Pinterest or TikTok), ask for coloured social icons in the footer. Open the preview and the published site. **Watch for:** Each icon should be the brand's real logo in its own colour (X, TikTok and Threads follow the text colour so they stay visible on dark footers). No blank footer and no star icons in place of a logo.
Publishing no longer re-checks every image one at a time, skips a second identical image pass, and skips the pre-launch browser check when no page actually changed. When pages did change, the check now looks at those pages. **Where:** Any site → Publish **How to test:** Publish a site, then publish again without changes; the second publish should finish noticeably faster. Edit one page's text and publish: that page should show the edit. **Watch for:** Images showing from an outside address instead of the site's own CDN; a broken page going live after an edit (the check should still catch it). **Also:** after a small edit, the pre-launch check now loads only the pages that changed; publishing right after a platform update no longer starts from a cold cache; and publishing from a connected assistant answers quickly instead of timing out.
Comments on a shared preview link failed with "Failed to create annotation" when the reviewer had scrolled down on a laptop with display scaling or a zoomed browser. They now save. **Where:** Shared preview link → Annotate → click an element below the fold → Add Comment **How to test:** Open a preview link in Chrome at 110% zoom (or on a scaled display), scroll partway down, place a pin and submit a comment **Watch for:** The comment saving, the pin appearing at the clicked spot, and no red error under the comment box
Starting from the homepage while already signed in now opens the normal site builder, and describing a business without naming it no longer gives it a made-up name such as "Bella Napoli". **Where:** mondovo.com homepage box (or app.mondovo.com/try), then the site builder chat **How to test:** While signed in, type "Italian restaurant with reservations" in the homepage box: you land in the builder, not the planning page. Signed out, do the same: the intake form asks "What's your business called?" first and its title names no business. **Watch for:** A signed-in visitor stuck on the planning page, or any example name (Bella Napoli, FastFlow Plumbing) appearing as the business name when you never typed it.
Pages marked noindex are now omitted from published sitemaps, including when only metadata is republished. Publishing no longer makes every page appear newly modified: a last-modified date is included only when a valid source date is available. **Where:** Published sites → /sitemap.xml **How to test:** Mark a reference page noindex and republish. Its URL should be absent from the sitemap while its page remains accessible. Republish without editing other pages; their dates should remain unchanged or be omitted when unknown. **Watch for:** Missing indexable collection items or incorrect language alternates.
Opening a page in the editor could quietly save placeholder code over parts of the page that import a shared settings file, such as a pricing table, and the next publish then failed. The editor now loads those files, and placeholder code is never saved. **Where:** Site editor → any page that imports a shared file (for example, a pricing section) **How to test:** Open a page whose pricing section uses the live price list in the editor, wait for the preview, then check version history: no automatic change should appear, and the next publish should succeed. **Watch for:** An automatic version-history entry right after opening the editor; a publish failing with "could not be prepared".
On mondovo.com, a visitor from India saw "$20" for about a second before "₹399" replaced it. The price cards now wait for the visitor's own price, and the homepage Free card says "Free" instead of "$0". **Where:** mondovo.com home page (pricing section) and /pricing **How to test:** Open mondovo.com/pricing?pricing_country=IN in a fresh private window and watch the Pro card as the page loads. It should show only ₹ prices, never $. Open it without the parameter from the US: the $ price should show at once. **Watch for:** Price cards that stay blank for more than a few seconds; a $ price anywhere for an India visitor.
If you belong to more than one workspace, you can now connect ChatGPT, Claude or another AI assistant to all of them in one go, instead of reconnecting each time your sites live somewhere else. Connections now also follow your current role in each workspace, and stop working as soon as you leave one. **Where:** Connect Mondovo from ChatGPT or Claude (or add it as a custom connector). On the Mondovo sign-in screen, under "Which workspaces can … reach?", choose "All my workspaces" or "Only one workspace". Existing connections keep reaching their one workspace; disconnect and reconnect to switch. **How to test:** 1. With an account in two workspaces, connect Mondovo from Claude and choose "All my workspaces". 2. Ask "list my Mondovo sites": sites from both workspaces appear, each labelled with its workspace. 3. Ask for a change to a site in the second workspace: it works without reconnecting. 4. Ask to create a new site without saying where: the assistant asks which workspace first. 5. In Mondovo → Settings → Connected Apps, the connection shows in both workspaces, marked "Connected for all of a member's workspaces". 6. Remove the test account from one workspace: its sites stop being reachable right away. **Watch for:** A workspace viewer or client editor who used to publish or edit through an assistant now gets "You do not have permission", which matches what the app allows them. A one-workspace connection asked about a site in another workspace now says which workspace it is in and how to reconnect, instead of "not found" alone.
Referrers can now give the people they refer a discount on their first payment, paid for out of their own commission, and can have their referral link open a landing page of their own with their name, headline and a video or image. **Where:** Dashboard → Refer & Earn (Your offer, Your landing page); Admin → Referrals → Creators (page review and creator rates) **How to test:** On Refer & Earn pick "10% off", fill in a headline and a YouTube link, and save. Approve it in Admin → Referrals → Creators. Open your referral link in a private window: it should show your page with the "10% off" badge. Sign up from it, publish a site, and check the first payment is 10% lower while the renewal date shows the full price. After payment, Refer & Earn should show the referral "joined with your 10% offer" and your commission at your rate minus 10% for that payment. **Watch for:** The offer applying to a second or renewal payment, an unapproved edit showing on the public page, the discount missing at checkout after it was shown, or a commission higher than the rate minus the offer on the first payment.
The free plan now includes 50 Creative Studio credits for the first month only, and each India live site includes 50 credits a month. **Where:** Billing → Credits, the pricing page, and the credit summary in Creative Studio **How to test:** On a new free account, check Billing shows 50 credits included this month; on the pricing page the Free card reads "50 image credits in your first month"; on an India plan the per-site allowance reads 50. **Watch for:** A free account receiving credits again in its second month, or an India account still showing 100.
India live sites are now sold on an annual plan, and pricing everywhere shows the monthly equivalent (₹333 + GST a month, payable annually) with the yearly amount alongside. **Where:** mondovo.com pricing and comparison pages, the in-app Plans page, and the Publish dialog **How to test:** From India, open mondovo.com/pricing and the in-app Plans page and check the price reads per month, payable annually, with ₹3,999 + GST a year shown. Publish a site and check the only billing option is the annual one at the full yearly amount. **Watch for:** "Pricing unavailable" anywhere, a monthly option still offered at checkout, or the yearly total missing.
In India the Agency (white-label) add-on is now sold yearly at ₹14,999 + GST instead of ₹4,500 a month, and it renews on the same date as your live sites. Other countries are unchanged. **Where:** Dashboard → Billing (add-ons) and Organization → White-label, for India-billed workspaces; mondovo.com pricing and comparison pages **How to test:** From an India-billed workspace with an annual live site, open the Agency add-on: it should show ₹14,999 + 18% GST/yr, quote a prorated charge to your site's renewal date, and the confirmation should say yearly renewal. On mondovo.com from India, the Agency add-on copy should say "a year". **Watch for:** Any "/mo" or "a month" next to the India Agency price, a full-year charge for a workspace that already has an annual renewal date, or a monthly renewal of the add-on.
A journey's "sent" number now counts emails actually sent, not every step a contact passed through, and clicks on links in journey emails are now recorded. **Where:** Mission Control → Automation → any journey card **How to test:** Open a journey with a wait or a check before its email and compare "sent" with the emails in its history; then click a link in a newly sent journey email and see "clicked" go up. **Watch for:** Links in journey emails that fail to open, or an email client showing the tracking address instead of the destination.
Publishing a site now creates a 404 page using its design's colors, fonts, and corner styles, with a link back home. If you already designed a custom 404 page, it stays in place. A simple generic page remains available when the design cannot be read. **Where:** Published websites, including one-page sites and imported designs. **How to test:** Publish a site without a custom 404 page, then visit a URL that does not exist. Check that the page matches the site's design and that its home link works. Repeat on a site hosted under a path, and confirm an existing custom 404 is preserved. **Watch for:** Missing-page responses must keep HTTP 404 status. The automatic page should not appear in navigation or the sitemap.
Referral commission is now earned on every confirmed payment your friend makes, however they pay. That includes payments made in India, which are paid out in rupees by bank transfer or UPI, or as account credit. **Where:** Dashboard → Refer & Earn **How to test:** Refer a new account; once it pays for Pro or a live site, check that a commission appears in the payment's currency (20% of the amount before GST for India). Claim rupee earnings by UPI or bank account, and check the request in Admin → Referrals → Payouts with the destination shown. **Watch for:** Commission recorded twice for one payment, commission on Creative Studio top-ups, rupee and dollar amounts added together, or a refund not reducing a pending commission.
Accounts billed in India now see that Refer & Earn rewards for payments made in India are coming soon, and the one-time friend discount has been retired for everyone. **Where:** Dashboard → Refer & Earn **How to test:** Open Refer & Earn from an India-billed account (or from India before your first payment) and check the amber "coming soon in India" notice. From a card-billed account, check that no notice shows and the FAQ says there is no sign-up discount for friends. **Watch for:** The notice appearing for card-billed accounts, or the page still promising a friend discount.
Every referral link now opens an invite page on the Mondovo website, with the referrer's own name, headline and video once their page is approved, and their first-payment offer shown up front; any other page they link to shows the offer in a bar at the top. **Where:** mondovo.com/with (opened by any Refer & Earn link); the offer bar appears across mondovo.com for visitors who arrived through a referral link **How to test:** Pick an offer on Dashboard → Refer & Earn, open your referral link in a private window and check the invite page shows it. Approve a creator page in Admin → Referrals → Creators and reload: the page should show the name, headline and video. Build a link to the Pricing page and check the offer bar shows there and can be closed. **Watch for:** A referral link landing on a missing page, the offer bar covering the menu, an unapproved headline appearing, or analytics not attributing visits to the referrer.
When an image, video, scan or other creative job needs more credits than you have, you now get the same clear prompt everywhere, with one button to add credits and, on the Free plan, one to upgrade. **Where:** Anywhere in the dashboard or site editor that uses credits: Creative Studio, Brand Studio, growth scans, site images. **How to test:** On a workspace with 0 credits, start a creative job (for example, generate an image in Creative Studio). The prompt should open. On Free, "Upgrade to Pro: credits every month" should open billing in a new tab with the Pro checkout already showing. "Buy Credit Pack" should land on the credit packs. **Watch for:** - The prompt failing to open on a credit failure. - The prompt opening for a messaging (WhatsApp/SMS) wallet failure, which has its own top-up. - Any pricing or upgrade button in a white-label client portal.
Keyword suggestions now come with how many people search for each one every month in your country, the SEO audit warns when a page targets a keyword nobody searches for, and a new planner writes honest "[competitor] alternative" pages where people are actually looking. **Where:** Your site → SEO → Pages (keyword suggestions and monthly searches under each page's keywords) and SEO → Plan → Competitor alternative pages **How to test:** Open SEO → Pages and click Suggest on a page's keywords: each option shows its monthly searches, most-searched first. A page whose main keyword has no searches shows a warning, with a one-click switch to a searched keyword when one fits. In SEO → Plan, click "Check competitors" (or type a few names): each competitor shows its monthly "alternative" searches, and only those with searches can be selected for a page. **Watch for:** Volumes missing for a site outside the main markets (they fall back to US searches), a suggested keyword that doesn't fit the page, or an alternative page that states something untrue about a competitor.
Blog posts can now include tables, so comparisons, price lists and spec sheets read as proper tables on your site instead of lists. **Where:** Your site → Content → Blog → open or create a post → the table button in the formatting bar **How to test:** Insert a table, type into the cells, add a row and a column with the buttons that appear while the cursor is in the table, save, and publish. On the live post the table has a shaded header row; on a phone a wide table scrolls sideways instead of stretching the page. Reopen the post in the editor: the table is still there. **Watch for:** A table that loses its rows after saving, cell text running together on the live page, or a wide table pushing the page wider than the screen on a phone.
Blog posts now come out properly formatted, with a cover and a share image, whether they're typed in the editor, written by the site assistant or added by a connected AI app. **Where:** Your site → Content → Blog Posts, and the site assistant ("write a blog post about…"). **How to test:** Ask the assistant to write and publish a blog post. Open it on your live site a few minutes later: headings, bold text and lists should be formatted (no stray `##` or `**`), the post should have a branded cover on the blog page, and sharing its link should show that cover. Posts you give your own image keep it. **Watch for:** Raw Markdown symbols on a published post, a blank card on the blog page, or a cover replacing an image you added yourself.
Every blog post now ends with up to three related posts, so readers who finish one post have somewhere to go next. It's on by default for every blog. You can switch it off for the whole blog, or turn it off or choose the posts yourself on any one post. **Where:** Your site → Content → Blog Posts. The "Related posts" button at the top of the list switches the whole blog on or off. Open a post and go to its Settings tab to pick "Automatic", "Choose posts" or "Off". **How to test:** On a site with three or more published posts, publish and open any post. Up to three related posts appear above the footer, styled like the rest of the site. Give two posts the same tag, publish again, and check they now list each other first. Set one post to "Choose posts", pick two, publish, and check only those two appear, in that order. Set another to "Off" and check it shows none. **Watch for:** A post listing itself, a link to an unpublished post, or a broken image in a card.
People who connect Mondovo from ChatGPT or Claude now land on a page that says what they're doing ("Connect Mondovo to ChatGPT") and puts "Continue with Google" first, instead of a generic sign-in form. Google is now the first option on the regular sign-in page too. **Where:** In ChatGPT or Claude, add the Mondovo app and click connect while signed out of Mondovo. Also: app.mondovo.com/auth/login. **How to test:** Sign out of Mondovo, start a connection from ChatGPT. The page should read "Connect Mondovo to ChatGPT", show a dark "Continue with Google" button at the top, and offer "Create a free account" at the bottom. Continue with Google and confirm you return to the approval screen, then back to ChatGPT. Open /auth/login directly and confirm it still reads "Sign In to Mondovo Website Builder" with Google first. **Watch for:** The heading naming the wrong app, the connection request being lost after sign-up (landing on the dashboard instead of the approval screen), or the email form no longer working.
Adding or editing a blog post, product or other collection item now rebuilds only the pages that show it, not your whole site, so the change goes live much sooner. **Where:** Your site → Content (any collection), then the automatic publish, or Publish. **How to test:** On a published site with a blog, add a post. Within a few minutes it should be live on the blog page and at its own address. The rest of the site should be unchanged. The first publish after this update still rebuilds every page once. **Watch for:** A page that shows your posts (a homepage "latest posts" section, for example) still showing the old list after a post goes live.
Sites that keep shared data or helpers in a file with a hyphen in its name (for example a pricing catalog) could fail to publish after an unrelated edit, and the page using that file lost its interactivity once live. Those files are now included and matched correctly, and new collection listing pages import their search and filter controls from the right place. **Where:** Publish any site; collection listing pages (blog, products, directories) created from now on. **How to test:** Publish a site with a collection listing page and a pricing page that uses shared data. The publish should finish, the listing should search and filter, and the pricing page should behave the same after it loads as before. **Watch for:** A publish failing with a compile error, or a listing page's search box missing.
When a single voiceover line was re-recorded, part of the old line could stay in the film next to the new take, so a sentence was heard twice. Line boundaries now follow where each word is actually spoken. **Where:** Creative Studio → Video → a film with a voiceover → ask to re-read one line **How to test:** On a film with a voiceover, ask to re-read the last line, then play the updated film. The line should be heard once, with no part of the old take left before it. **Watch for:** A sentence heard twice around a re-read line, or the start of the next line clipped.
Sharpening a video that already had a voiceover and a speed change used to replace the finished video with a silent copy. The voiceover and speed change are now kept. **Where:** Creative Studio → a video made from your own recording → ask to sharpen the picture **How to test:** On a recording with a voiceover and a speed change (e.g. 1.15x), ask for a sharpen. When it finishes, play and download the video. **Watch for:** No sound, the video playing at its original speed, or "The picture or sound changed after the playback edit" errors.
When planning a site or answering questions, our AI was still saying online stores, customer logins, payments and memberships needed outside tools, and that every booking had to wait for your confirmation. It now describes what Mondovo actually includes today. **Where:** New site chat, the editor assistant, and "Ask AI" in the dashboard **How to test:** Start a new site and say "I want an online shop where customers can log in to see their orders". Then ask "Ask AI": "Can bookings be confirmed automatically?" **Watch for:** The chat suggesting Snipcart, Clerk, Calendly or Shopify for a store, login or booking; saying "we build websites, not web apps" about logins or payments; claiming bookings always wait for confirmation.
A video that had its speed changed and was then sharpened (or otherwise had its picture or sound replaced) showed "The storyboard could not be loaded" and could not be worked on; it now opens normally. **Where:** Creative Studio → Video → open a polished upload **How to test:** Upload a video, ask for it to be sped up (e.g. 1.15x), then ask for a sharper picture and approve it. Reload the video page. **Watch for:** The storyboard and the video page both load; the finished file is shown as needing an update until the speed edit is applied again.
Playing a narrated video inside Creative Studio could make the voiceover sound broken and garbled, even though the downloaded video was fine. The preview now plays the voice cleanly. **Where:** Creative Studio → a video with a voiceover → the preview player **How to test:** Press play and listen through the whole video; scrub to the middle and play again. **Watch for:** Stuttering, crackle or chopped words, or the voice drifting away from the picture.
Visitors can now cancel their own event registration or course enrolment from a link in their confirmation email or from their customer account, and owners can cancel (and refund) any place from Mission Control. A freed place goes straight to the next person on the waitlist. **Where:** Mission Control → Events → Registrations, and Courses → Enrollments (Cancel / Refund on each row). Visitors: the "View or cancel" button in their confirmation and reminder emails, or Bookings & orders in the customer account. The site assistant and connected AI tools can list registrations and cancel them too. **How to test:** Register for an event with a limited number of places until it is full, then join the waitlist with another email. Open the first confirmation email, use "View or cancel" and cancel. Check that the person cancelling gets a "cancelled" email, the owner gets a notification, the Registrations list shows the place as cancelled, and the waitlisted person gets one "A place opened up" email. For a paid course, cancel from Mission Control with "Also refund" ticked and confirm the payment is refunded once. **Watch for:** A visitor's cancel refunding a payment automatically (it should not; the owner decides), a second cancel sending a second email or a second waitlist offer, the "View or cancel" link working after the date has started, and older sign-ups without a reserved place missing from the list (they stay under Forms).
The enrollment form on your course cards now confirms an enrollment only after it has been saved. Before, it could say "Enrollment submitted!" even when nothing was sent, so you could lose a student without knowing it. **Where:** Your published site's courses page → Enroll Now on any course; in the editor, Courses → Enrollments **How to test:** On a published site with courses, click Enroll Now, fill in a name and email, and submit. The confirmation appears after a moment. Open Courses → Enrollments in the editor: the enrollment is listed with the course's name next to the student. **Watch for:** A confirmation that appears with no matching enrollment in the list, an enrollment that shows no course name, or a form that clears what the visitor typed when sending fails (it should keep it and show an error).
People who register for an event or enrol in a course now get a confirmation email, a reminder the day before, and — when the date is full — a waitlist notice and a link to claim a place as soon as one frees up. Booking emails, lead replies and order emails are unchanged, and every visitor email now shows up in your automation message history. **Where:** Leads → Automation → "Registration & Enrolment Emails" (on by default; each email can be switched off) **How to test:** Add an event with 1 spot. Register from the published site with one email (you get "You're registered"), then with a second email (the page says you're on the waitlist and you get a waitlist email). People who registered more than a day ahead get a reminder within 24 hours of the start (the check runs every 15 minutes); someone who registers on the day only gets the confirmation. When a place frees up, the first person waiting gets "A place opened up" with a link that registers them. **Watch for:** Two emails for one sign-up (a generic "thanks" plus the confirmation), a "Thank you" message shown to someone who was only waitlisted, a sold-out date shown as a generic error, or a waitlist link that books a place which was already taken.
An event's "Max attendees" (and a course's "Max students") is now a real limit: once the places are taken, new sign-ups go on a waitlist instead of being accepted, and two people can no longer both take the last place. Every registration, enrolment and booking also shows in your customer's account. **Where:** Your site's event registration and course enrolment forms; the customer account page (/account) **How to test:** Give an event "Max attendees: 2". Register three different people from the published site. The first two are confirmed; the third is added to the waitlist. Sign in to /account as one of the first two: the registration is listed. **Watch for:** A registration accepted after the event is full, a full event that rejects the visitor instead of waitlisting them, or a registration missing from the customer's account.
We stopped emailing you about our own behind-the-scenes work. Automatic layout fixes, background content refreshes and similar notices now appear only in the notification bell, "someone opened your preview" no longer sends an email, and "your designs are ready" is emailed only the first time. **Where:** Your inbox, and the notification bell in the app **How to test:** Generate designs for a second site: the bell shows "designs are ready" but no email arrives. Open a shared preview link: no email. Publish a site: you still get "your site is live". **Watch for:** Any "text overlaps", "collection update did not go live" or "preview was opened" email arriving after this change.
Write a journey email once and send it to each contact in their own language. Contacts now have a Language, filled in automatically from their browser when they fill in a form or chat with your site's assistant, and you can change it on their record. **Where:** Leads → Automation → open an automation → click an email step → "Translate into each contact's language". A contact's language is under Leads → Contacts → open a contact → Language. **How to test:** Turn the option on for an email step in an automation, pick a language next to it and click Preview to see the translated email. Set a test contact's Language to Spanish, run the automation for them, and check the email arrives in Spanish with their name and your links unchanged. A contact with no language gets the email exactly as written. **Watch for:** Names, links, buttons and formatting must stay exactly as written. A contact whose language matches the language you wrote in should get your original wording. You can also add a condition on Language and use {{contact.language}} in emails.
New sites now get an address like `your-business.mondovo.co`. Addresses without Mondovo in them are part of the Agency add-on. **Where:** Any site → Settings → Preview address (pencil icon). New sites pick up the address automatically when they are first generated. **How to test:** On an account without the Agency add-on, create a new site and check its preview address ends in `.mondovo.co`. Open the address editor: the neutral domains are listed but greyed out as "(Agency add-on)". On an account with the add-on, new sites still get a neutral address, every domain is selectable, and `mondovo.co` is also offered. Visiting `mondovo.co` on its own should take you to mondovo.com. If an account adds the Agency add-on later, its unpublished sites on `mondovo.co` move to a neutral address within the hour (straight away when the add-on is granted by our team), and their old links redirect. Published sites keep their address. The main Mondovo domain is never offered as a site address. **Watch for:** An account with the Agency add-on getting a `.mondovo.co` address. Sites that already had a neutral address losing it, or having it shown as locked. Shared board and review links showing `mondovo.co` (they should stay neutral).
Files you sell are now stored privately and handed out only through time-limited download links. Courses and events that once had sign-ups can now be deleted, and paid enrolments no longer send an extra generic email. **Where:** Site editor → a Digital Product's "Attach file"; Courses / Events collections → delete an item; a priced course enrolment form on your live site. **How to test:** Attach a file to a digital product, buy it with test payments, and open the download link from the receipt — it downloads, and the link stops working after the limit. Delete a course whose sign-ups are all cancelled — it goes. Try one with an active sign-up — you are told to cancel the places first. Enrol in a priced course — you get the checkout and, once paid, one confirmation email. **Watch for:** A download link that keeps working past its limit; a delete that fails with a generic error; two emails for one enrolment.
When you publish a design from ChatGPT or Claude, we now build the pages your menu links to before the site goes live, so visitors no longer hit "Page not found". Your assistant also tells you what your plan covers, how to connect your own domain, and where to find form submissions and analytics. **Where:** Publishing a site from ChatGPT or Claude **How to test:** In ChatGPT, create a site, pick a design and ask to publish it. Your assistant should list the pages being built, then report the site as live. Every menu link on the live site should open a real page. **Watch for:** Menu links that still lead to "Page not found", a site that stays on "building" for more than about 15 minutes, or the assistant not mentioning plan, domain and editor once the site is live.
Owners can now see who is waiting for each full time and take people off the list. A service set to take payment online keeps that setting even before payments are connected, and starts charging as soon as they are. Until then it books without payment, as before. **Where:** Leads → Appointments → settings → What people book → "Who is on a waitlist" (under Services). Payments: Settings → Payments. **How to test:** 1. Fill a time, then join its waitlist from the published site with two different emails → both show under that time, in order, as Waiting. 2. Remove the second person → they show as Removed and drop off the list on reload. 3. Cancel a booking in that time → the first person shows as "Place offered". 4. On a site with no payment provider, set a service to "Full price online" → the service says it books without payment until you connect payments; a booking goes through without paying. 5. Connect payments (demo mode is fine) and book that service again → it now asks for payment, with no need to edit the service. **Watch for:** a removed person still getting a "place opened up" email; a paid service charging before payments are connected; the service silently going back to "pay at the business" after you save it.
When we build the pages your menu links to, a Shop or Products page now becomes a real product listing instead of a page of text. Businesses selling digital products, e-books or courses also get a product list set up from the start. **Where:** New sites, and pages built after publishing from ChatGPT or Claude **How to test:** Create a site for a business that sells e-books or digital products and publish it from ChatGPT. Open the Shop page: it should list products with prices, each with its own page. **Watch for:** A shop page that is still only text, prices on a store with no payment method set up (checkout should tell visitors to contact the store), or a service business wrongly given a shop.
Your website can now show your team and your branches straight from Appointments, with photos, roles, bios, addresses, phone numbers and opening hours. Add a person or move a branch once, and the site and the booking calendar both change. Every card has a "Book with Sam" or "Book at Leeds" button that opens booking with that choice already made. **Where:** Ask the editor's AI to "add our team section" or "add a locations section". It uses your Appointments team and branches (Leads → Appointments → settings). **How to test:** 1. In Appointments settings, add two team members with photos and a role, and two branches with an address, phone and opening hours. 2. Ask the AI to add a team section and a branches section to the booking page, then publish. 3. On the live site, each person and branch shows with their details; branch hours read like "Mon–Fri 9:00 AM–5:00 PM". 4. Click "Book with <name>" → the page scrolls to booking with that person already picked. "Book at <branch>" does the same for the branch. 5. Rename a team member in Appointments and reload the live site, with no republish → the new name shows. **Watch for:** an empty "Our team" block on a site without a team; a Book button that goes nowhere; a person shown who can't be booked; hours shown in the wrong order.
New Mondovo users in ChatGPT and Claude now see a welcome card with one-tap starting points instead of an empty "No sites yet" box, and the assistant walks them through a short, guided brief before building. **Where:** ChatGPT or Claude with the Mondovo connector, on an account with no websites yet — ask "Show me my Mondovo sites". **How to test:** Connect Mondovo with a fresh account and ask to see your sites. The card should offer "Build a website for my business", "Rebuild a website I already have", "Start from a site I like" and "What can Mondovo do?"; tapping one sends it as your message. Then ask to build a site: the assistant should ask one or two questions at a time with suggested answers, and build after a few exchanges. **Watch for:** The card not appearing for accounts that do have sites (it should not), buttons that do nothing, or the assistant asking a long list of questions at once.
Restaurants and tours can take bookings by party size (covers), any service can ask its own questions when people book, online appointments send their meeting link automatically, full times get a waitlist, and owners can see and manage who holds each pack or membership. **Where:** Leads → Appointments → settings → What people book → edit a service (Places are People; Questions when booking; Where it happens). Packs & memberships → Who has a pack or membership. Visitors see party size, questions and "Full — join waitlist" in the site's booking section. **How to test:** 1. Set a service to People with 10 people per time and a largest party of 6; book a party of 4 twice — a third party of 4 can't book that time, a party of 2 can. 2. Add a required question ("Occasion", pick one) — booking without answering is stopped; the answer shows on the appointment in your list. 3. Set "Online with my link" with a meeting URL — the confirmation email carries the link. With Google Calendar connected, "Google Meet" creates a new Meet per booking. 4. Fill a time, join its waitlist with another email, then cancel one booking — the first person waiting gets an email with a link that books the freed place. 5. In Packs & memberships, open the holders list, add a session to someone's pack, and cancel another. **Watch for:** two party sizes fields; a party bigger than the limit getting through; the meeting link visible before booking; a waitlist email to the second person instead of the first; a waitlist link that still books after its time ran out.
Businesses can now run classes with a weekly timetable and a number of spots, and sell packs ("5 sessions for £340") and memberships ("£40 a month, unlimited classes") that customers use instead of paying when they book. Branches can also run in their own time zone, with photos for branches and team members. **Where:** Leads → Appointments → settings → What people book (Services: Appointment or Class; Packs & memberships), or describe it to the site assistant. Customers buy and use passes in the site's booking section and see them under My passes in their account. **How to test:** 1. Add a class (e.g. Spin, 45 min, 10 spots, Mon 07:00 with an instructor) and publish. Book it from the site and watch spots left count down; the instructor can't be booked for a one-to-one at that time. 2. Add a paid service and a pack covering it. Buy the pack from the booking section with a test card. 3. Sign in with the same email (email link), book the paid service, and choose "Use my pass" — it confirms without paying and the account shows one session fewer. 4. Cancel that booking — the session comes back. **Watch for:** a class offered after it is full; an instructor bookable while teaching; a pass offered for a service it doesn't cover; a pass usable after it ran out or expired; the sign-in link not arriving (customer sign-in must be on — it is switched on automatically when the first pass is created, and the site needs a publish).
Customers who signed in to a published site with an emailed link or Google came back to the site still signed out. They now arrive signed in, so they can use their packs and memberships and see their account straight away. After booking, the confirmation also scrolls into view. **Where:** Any published site with customer sign-in: the account page, and "Have a pass? Email me a sign-in link" in the booking section. **How to test:** 1. On a published site with a pack for sale, buy the pack, then book a service it covers and choose "Email me a sign-in link". 2. Open the link from the email → you're back on the site, and booking again offers "Use <pack> — N left". 3. Open the site's account page after signing in with a link or Google → it shows your account, not the sign-in form. 4. Book anything near the bottom of a long page → the "You're booked!" message scrolls into view. **Watch for:** being signed out again after the link; a leftover "#cp_handoff=…" in the address bar; an old sign-in link that still works after it was used once.
Mondovo in ChatGPT can now update menus, blog posts and products, set up appointment booking, switch the visitor chat assistant on or off, set a favicon, find broken links, suggest search keywords, import images from your old website, and show your form submissions and appointments. **Where:** ChatGPT with the Mondovo plugin. New abilities appear after OpenAI approves them; until then ChatGPT works as before. **How to test:** In ChatGPT ask "Add a Sourdough Loaf for $9 to the menu on my site", "Show me my latest form submissions", and "Can people book appointments on my site?". **Watch for:** ChatGPT asking you to reconnect or approve again when using these (it should not), or changes appearing on the live site before you publish.
Captions can now take one of seven designed styles. Each mixes fonts and colours, with one big focus word per line and the words the voice leans on set in an accent font. You can also set the caption size and whether a box sits behind the words. Every change is free. **Where:** Studio → a finished video → Edit captions, music & graphics → Captions → Style → "Designed templates". For a video with motion graphics: Polish → "Captions and camera in your edit" → Style, Size, Box behind. **How to test:** Pick a template such as Neon. The preview shows it at once, with a few words made big. Turn "Box behind the words" off and change Size, then export. For motion graphics, pick a style; the edit is re-made in a few minutes and the version before is kept. **Watch for:** A big word cut off at the frame's edge, captions showing over an end card, and the preview and the export choosing different big words.
When our AI sent back its quick-answer options in an unexpected shape, the site planning chat crashed with "Something went wrong". Those options are now checked and repaired before they are shown, so the chat carries on. **Where:** New site → describe your business → fill in the intake form → the planning chat **How to test:** Start a new site for a personal-training gym, choose "Book an available time" in the intake form and submit it with the optional questions left blank. The chat should reply with tappable options and no error screen. **Watch for:** The "Something went wrong" screen after submitting the intake form, or answer chips that show no label.
If a drawn scene comes out with overlapping text, text that doesn't fit, or nothing moving, we now draw it again automatically. If the second drawing is still broken, the film keeps the scene's earlier version, the credits come back, and the chat tells you. **Where:** Creative Studio → Video → Make, or ask for changes to a scene **How to test:** 1. On a made film, ask to remake a graphic scene. 2. If the new drawing passes, it replaces the old one as usual. 3. If it fails twice, the chat says the scene kept its earlier version and the credits are back. **Watch for:** - A scene of bare text with black shapes in a finished film. - A remade scene that leaves a gap in the film.
When you ask for changes to a video you've already made, only the changed scenes are made again. The Make button now lists each of them, and new words on a scene are never left off quietly. **Where:** Creative Studio → Video → a made film → chat **How to test:** 1. On a made film, ask for one scene to be replaced, a change to the words on the end card, and plainer captions. 2. The Make button should list each change. Only the replaced scene should cost anything. 3. In the finished film, check that every change shows: the end card's new words and the caption style. **Watch for:** - A drawn scene that shows tiny plain text with black shapes. - Words on screen that didn't change. - Captions that still pop word by word after you asked for plain ones.
Emails and text messages in automation journeys were failing with "contact not found" even though the contact existed; journeys now reach the people they were built for, and test addresses (like example.com) are skipped instead of showing as failures. **Where:** Site → Automations → any journey with a Send email or Send SMS step **How to test:** Add a test contact with a real email to a journey whose first step sends an email. Within about 5 minutes the message shows as Sent in the journey's activity and arrives in the inbox. **Watch for:** Messages still marked failed with "contact … not found"; a step addressed to an example.com address should show as cancelled ("reserved test address"), not failed.
Businesses can now take bookings for several services, with a team where each person has their own hours, across several branches of one business — and choose per service whether it is paid online at booking and whether bookings confirm instantly or wait for the owner. **Where:** Leads → Appointments → settings (What people book: Services, Team, Branches), or just describe it to the site assistant ("we have two clinics, Sam does physio Mon–Fri in Ealing, the initial assessment is 45 minutes and £95, paid online"). Things said during planning are set up automatically when Appointments is turned on. **How to test:** 1. Open a site's Appointments settings, add two branches, two team members with hours at different branches, and three services (one free + confirm instantly, one owner-confirmed, one paid in full). 2. Publish, open the booking section: pick a service, a branch, a person or "Anyone available", then a time. 3. Book the instant service → "You're booked", a confirmation email, and the booking shows as confirmed with the person and branch. 4. Book the paid service → the payment form opens; pay with a test card → the booking is confirmed and shows "Paid". 5. Ask the site's chat assistant to book the paid service → it sends a payment link. **Watch for:** a person offered at a branch they don't work at; the same person bookable twice at the same time across branches; an unpaid booking appearing in the owner's list (it shouldn't until paid); a paid booking still showing "waiting for you to confirm"; sites with one appointment type booking any differently than before.
A long spoken line could lose its last words from the captions, with the final caption frozen on screen while the voice kept talking. Every spoken word is now captioned. **Where:** Creative Studio → Video → any narrated film with captions **How to test:** Make a film whose scene has a long voiceover line (two or three sentences). Export it and watch that scene. Every word of the line should be captioned, in time with the voice, until the line ends. **Watch for:** A caption that freezes on one word while the voice keeps talking; captions in Hindi script on a film set to show Roman letters after re-recording one line. Also: removing a label or headline from a filmed scene in chat now takes it off the exported film. Before, the chat said it was gone but the next export still drew it.
