Copy Page Content

May 5, 2026

Users can now copy a custom page's content onto one of their default pages (Home, Subscribe, Archive, etc.) with the option to preserve the existing default's content as a new custom page. Previous versions can still be restored using the version history feature. This is a new menu action in the page options dropdown and does not affect any existing flows.

Embedded Subscribe Forms V3

April 30, 2026

V3 introduces configurable triggers (timer delay, scroll depth, exit intent, click), a Regular/Slim layout toggle, newsletter list selection, and a draft/publish model. V3 applies to new forms only — all existing V1/V2 forms continue working with no embed code changes required. Note: Slim layouts do not support Terms of Service toggles or extra fields, and exit intent is desktop only.
