January 2025 Changelog

January 2025 focused on making Article Creator and AI-assisted workflows more dependable. SCM added new AI service options, improved AI template editing, tightened link insertion, and cleaned up several task and folder handling issues.

The month also started building a stronger foundation for local SEO data. Google Maps review tags became available for scraping, while older or unreliable question sources were removed from keyword collection.
