Updates

  • Use linear and radial gradients in your design  — Add a burst of color to your page with our gradient tool — gradually blending one color into another.

  • 'Authentication error log' for SSO configurations — When configuring SSO for the platform, Admin users will be able to click on a new button: "Show errors", which lists any SSO-related log-in errors that might have occurred.
  • 'Advent Calendar' Foleon-default Doc template & 'Spotlight Templates' — We have expanded the set of Foleon-default Doc templates with the 'Advent Calendar'. It's placed towards the top of the homepage in a new row, "Spotlight Templates", together with the existing Foleon-default Doc templates "Annual Report" and "Year in Review".

Fixes

16 March - Version 4.33

Here’s what's new in this release.

Updates

    To strengthen GDPR compliance, we’ve made several improvements to Foleon’s cookie consent feature (learn more in our Help Center):
    • We changed the button text from "Accept" to "Accept all" across supported languages and added a disclaimer that readers consent to all cookies by clicking on said button.
    • Cookie settings are now opt-in instead of opt-out by default (this relates to analytics and targeting cookies).

    If you used this in any of your Foleon Docs, this does not require immediate action from your end. We’ve automatically updated all affected Docs by appending the alias with a randomized number (e.g., “index-12345”). This change won’t come into effect until/unless you republish.

    If you’d like to change the affected page alias(es) to something of your own choosing, you can do this in the page settings: read more here. Once you republish a Doc, visitors who navigate to the old URL with “index” as the page alias will be automatically redirected to the first page of your Doc.

Here’s what's new in this release.

Updates to existing features
