Visualbook 6.1.3

A release focused on reliability. Signing in is smoother, you can download a whole custom online tool with one button, working with languages and storage is more dependable, and a password-protected manual really stays visible only to those who know the password.

Editing content in the Panel9

  • More reliable ordering of items in lists — for example in the “Font usage” table, colours or buttons. When you edit a list right on the website and then add another item in the Panel, the website shows all items in the right order. The update tidies up existing content by itself.
  • Duplicating a page in any pair of languages — the copy has its content and new title in all languages of the manual (not only for Czech + English) and gets its own address in the second language.
  • Turning off file or link sync between languages takes effect immediately — when you turn off sync for an item and replace its file at the same time, the second language keeps its original file already with that save.
  • “View Visualbook”, “View page” and “View section” button in the Panel’s top bar replaces the bare icon, so it is clear where it leads. The label stays visible on a phone too.
  • A clearer page list on a phone — the page type is no longer repeated under the page title, and password-protected pages show just the lock icon.
  • Changing a page address — after you save the new address, you stay on the same page in the Panel.
  • Storage — before duplicating a brand, group, page or section (including through the AI connector), Visualbook works out how much space the copy will take and, if it would not fit within the limit, tells you in advance how much it would add and how much is left. Uploads are checked the same way, now including files in drafts. When uploading a file with the same name does not fit within the limit, the original file stays in place, and a smaller replacement goes through even when storage is full.
  • Storage usage chart in each brand too — used, unused and free space is shown in the file overview of every multibrand brand, not just in the main overview.
  • Tidy files — files and pages that were copied by hand together with their description are told apart by the update, so they no longer get mixed up on the website.

Custom online tools3

  • Download all — in the “Tool files” section you can download the whole tool as a ZIP with its original folder structure, ready to edit and upload again.
  • The tool check warns you about two files with the same name in different folders.
  • A new tool shows up with the manual’s header and footer right away (the “Fit the tool into the Visualbook layout?” toggle is preset to Yes). Existing tools stay as they are.

Sign-in and protection8

  • Signing in right after signing out works on the first try, without reloading the page.
  • The one-time code arrives in the e-mail as a single number (178705), so Safari and iPhone can fill it in by themselves. A code sent before the update still works.
  • When e-mail is temporarily unavailable, signing in with a code shows a clear message.
  • Locked pages — the “Send code again” button really sends the e-mail with the code.
  • A manual behind the global password stays hidden — search engines and AI tools learn nothing about its content: the sitemap is empty, the overview for AI, the sharing preview image and the public AI connector are switched off, and the sign-in page is not indexed. A visitor who enters the password can still use the AI export.
  • The static export always encrypts locked pages, even in an unusual situation on the server.
  • Lottie animations play in a safe mode: an uploaded file cannot run its own code on the website or in the Panel.
  • Strengthened checks of access to protected files and of storage limits.

Logo and sharing on social networks4

  • The sharing preview image for social networks includes an SVG logo even on servers that cannot convert SVG themselves, and it is always created, even when the logo cannot be converted. After you change the logo, social networks pick up the new preview.
  • The preview in Settings → OG Image refreshes by itself after you change the logo, without reloading the Panel.
  • Downloaded PNG and PDF logos have a clean file name (logo.pdf), and download statistics count each logo in a single row.
  • A multibrand card with the “universal” style shows the light logo for a logo in light/dark mode.

Search, Analytics and e-mails3

  • Search offers for download only files that are really on the page, and now the universal logo as well.
  • Analytics shows the correct date of the last download and click for every day of the month, and sorting by date works properly.
  • E-mails (welcome, sign-in code, change report) have a consistent background across the whole window in Apple Mail.

Core and maintenance2

  • The Kirby core has been updated to 5.6.1: a Panel with several open tabs keeps the language of each tab separately, an expired session takes you straight to the sign-in screen, the dialog after an unsuccessful save lists which fields to fix, the error page in the English version is in English, and cropped thumbnails have exactly the requested size.
  • Fewer writes to the server log and faster saving of the Administration page.
