April 2026 Changelog

April was the biggest interface month of the year so far, 89 changes, most of them in the two screens you live in. The AI Writer got a Polish tab with a real rewrite workflow, find and replace that shows you the result before you commit, and click a term to see it highlighted in the draft.

Page Pipeline got the bulk work covered: a new CSV importer, editing twenty tasks in one go, a table of contents built from your headings, and a save that names the field you missed instead of just refusing.

Read this if you

Edit and polish AI drafts before publishing.
Set up Page Pipeline jobs from spreadsheets.
Publish to WordPress, by post uploader or XML.
Build topic clusters for a specific country or language.

The AI Writer became a place to work

The Rewrite tab is now the Polish tab, with a rewrite workflow that fits how you actually edit, and it remembers the rewrite and translate settings you used last.
Find and replace shows you what a rule will do before it runs, so you stop undoing bulk changes.
Click a term and it lights up in the draft. No more scanning for the word you just looked up.
The add section window pages through results and filters as you type, so it stays quick on a long article.
Insert sentence sorts and filters too.
The empty Polish tab explains what it is for instead of showing you nothing.
Rewrite translate understands HTML, so your tags survive the translation.
Large AI written files stopped failing to process.

Page Pipeline handles bulk work

A reworked CSV importer takes your spreadsheet without a fight.
Edit many tasks at once, so a change across twenty jobs is one action, and the app no longer stutters while you do it.
A table of contents is generated from your headings, under content inserts.
Change how many articles a template produces without cloning the template. The template's number is a default now, not a rule.
Insert videos accepts YouTube urls as well as ids, and searching for a channel handle works by starting your query with @.
Saving a job tells you which fields are wrong, and stops demanding an AI template when you are not using one.
Stop an AI call early, including from the chat drawer while it is running.
Send finished pages out through a webhook, and sort or filter the url data source table.
Clicking a macro in the template editor drops it at your cursor, and page macros are listed when the job has them.

Publishing tools cleaned up

Every posting window is more compact, including a new post uploader.
Choose which blogs to post to from inside the WordPress export tab, and add a new blog from there without leaving the task.
The WordPress category field is a single line, not a box that swallows your text.
The WP XML generator finishes instead of stalling near the end.
Publishing windows resize properly, and their checkboxes save what you ticked.
Articles with unusual characters stopped failing to upload over XML-RPC.

Clusters and the run itself

Topic clusters remember the region and language you used last, keep suggestions inside the country you asked for, and load results without you pressing anything.
Find and replace works on topic clusters, and a People Also Ask problem is a warning rather than an error that stops the run.
The add links step stopped being skipped in cluster prompts.
Save every topic you found to a file straight from locate data.
Bing results can be forced to a language and country.
Local listings use the language set on the task, and saving to Google Sheets stopped crashing.
The article body macro stopped coming back empty, and a title split across lines is folded back into one.
OpenAI retries an empty response instead of failing the article.
Pressing stop twice no longer clears the Aborting state before the task has stopped.
If the app hits an error you keep the window controls and get a button to fetch an update.
Every task opens with a short explanation of what it does, topic clusters included.
Text you select in a code box is readable, the header works in light theme, and the task list stops jumping when a next run time appears.
