What's New

Review in One Place

Let the review happened in the place. Now admins and moderators can review flagged content in Review, which is in the sidebar on the left.

There are ways different actions provided in Approve, including edit post, close, delete, and enlist post.

Besides, we also provide filters to make the reviewing process efficient. With just a click, you can check the specific content waiting in queue.

Build Your Review Plugin from Today​

We add an example review plugin to check user’s first post before it officially goes online. This ensures high-quality content in your community, while every user understands the posting rules.

You can build your review plugin for unpublished posts based on your review process based on this example plugin. Click here to know more about this plugin.

Sort Answer from Oldest to Newest​

Observing how an answer develops until the current version can bring clarity. Now there’s no need to scroll to the bottom for earlier answers, simply click the Oldest.

Fine-tunings You’ll Love​

We heard your voice! Here are some tweaks we made for existed features.

It’s easy to spot your search terms within the results, because of the latest highlight.

Now admin can go through all the published posts, check the post’s status, and unlist it in a few clicks.

Automatic update checks can be closed too, and admin can find it in Admin — Settings — General. Switch it off and save, you’re good to go.
