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 with a preview before you commit, and click a term to see it highlighted in the editor.

Page Pipeline got the bulk work covered: a new CSV importer, bulk edit across tasks, a table of contents built from your headings, and validation that names the field you missed instead of refusing to save.

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 in a specific region 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.
Find and replace opens as a proper modal with a preview, so you see what a rule does before it runs.
Click a term and it highlights in the editor. No more scanning for the word you just looked up.
The add section modal pages through results and filters by text, so it stays fast on long articles.
Insert sentence gained sorting and filtering.
AI generate settings moved into their own modal, and the Polish tab explains itself when it is empty.
Rewrite translate understands HTML, so tags survive the translation.
The article preview replaced its find and replace box with the new one.

Page Pipeline handles bulk work

A reworked CSV importer takes your spreadsheet without a fight.
Bulk edit across tasks, so a change to twenty jobs is one action.
A table of contents generates from your headings, under content inserts.
Change how many articles a template creates without cloning the template. The template value is the default now, not the law.
Insert videos accepts YouTube URLs as well as IDs.
Saving a job tells you which fields are invalid instead of failing quietly, and no longer demands an AI template when you are not using one.
AI calls can be aborted early, including from the chat drawer mid run.
Page Pipeline exports through a webhook, and the URL data source table sorts and filters.
The AI template editor inserts a macro at your cursor when you click it, and shows page macros when the job has them.

Publishing tools cleaned up

Every posting window is compact and consistent, with a new post uploader interface.
Pick the blogs to post to inside the WordPress export tab.
The WordPress category field is a single line input, not a box that swallows text.
The WP XML generator finishes the job instead of stalling near the end.
Publishing tools resize properly, and their checkbox values save.
Add a blog from the Page Pipeline WordPress select with a manage blog button.

Clusters, crashes and theme

Topic clusters remember the region and language you used last, keep suggestions inside the geography you asked for, and load results automatically.
Find and replace works on topic clusters, and PAA problems are warnings now rather than errors that stop the run.
The add links step stopped being skipped in cluster prompts.
Save all found topics to a file straight from locate data.
OpenAI retries on empty JSON and reads status codes properly before giving up.
Google search waits for captchas again, and article body macros stopped coming back empty.
Welcome instructions on every task, and a Page Flow welcome for topic clusters.
Consistent border radius, opaque text highlight in code boxes, fixed light theme contrast in the header, and no more layout shift from the next run time.
