A source-verified guide to the 290 commits since the August 31 catalog run, with focused articles for every substantial user-facing workflow.
Where: Use this overview to choose the focused guide for the feature you are using.
Key ideas
- Designer became a project workspace: Designer now supports dashboard projects, twelve typed pages in one collaborative document, promotion from editor-backed Flowgen nodes, explicit pull-back to the canvas, project roles/presence, Brain and Design system resources, a fuller Media workspace, and page-aware sharing/export.
- Generation now has stronger creative direction and review: Eight art directions, a nine-section immersive backbone, a searchable 181-section library, measured page review, bounded fix rounds, and improved presentation/export paths make the assistant’s design process explicit and inspectable.
- Platform workflows moved forward together: The dashboard gained three work modes and richer project starts; language-model routing/pricing was refreshed; Ad Campaign moved to an HTML-master pipeline; CMS authoring and delivered bindings improved; HTML import accepts linked asset batches; and editor/Flowgen reliability fixes preserve motion, styles, media, and collaboration.
Steps
- Choose the focused article below rather than treating this release overview as a control reference.
- For existing projects, reopen them in the current client before running retired model selections or pulling promoted Designer changes.
- For a new Designer build, choose the art direction first, use the kit/library for structure, then run the measured visual review.
- For imported or CMS-backed work, verify the delivered runtime and not only the editor representation.
- For paid AI work, inspect the current model, effort, references, and quote before scaling a representative run.
- After updating an upstream canvas/project, rerun affected downstream nodes and inspect exports or renders as new deliverables.
Designer and ads
- Standalone Designer projects and promotion/pull-back for supported editor cards.
- Twelve typed pages in one shared document, per-page undo and active-page presence.
- Media, Brain, and Design system workspaces plus project chat/attachments.
- Eight art directions, nine hand-built immersive sections, a 181-section library, and measured review rounds.
- HTML-master Ad Campaign with page-addressable variations and HTML/PNG manifest export.
- Improved deck/PDF/PPTX, image/video export, presentation fit, logos, and scroll playback.
Dashboard, models, CMS, and import
- Let flowmo direct, You direct, and Creator mode each have a purpose-built dashboard layout.
- User-level f0Chrome and flowgenChrome defaults are separate from uiMode; surface-and-project-specific overrides take precedence.
- Gemini 3.8 Flash, Qwen3.8 Flash, GPT-6 Astra, and Claude Haiku 4.5/Sonnet 5/Opus 5 routing and pricing.
- Retired Gemini 3.5/3.6/3.7 selections resolve to 3.8 while history remains honest.
- Ordered CMS fields, top-level post types, smarter binding, nested-menu delivery, typed media, and real visibility conditions.
- Batch linked-asset matching for imported HTML, with explicit safe-preview limits.
Reliability and compatibility
- Responsive imports, comma selectors, grouped GSAP, page-root rules, stylesheets, load triggers, pins, video playback, and deterministic captures were repaired.
- Flowgen fixes cover mentions, List cleanup and backup behavior, visible generation controls, prompt expansion/focus, render input synchronization, and inspector roles.
- Brain adds team/folder homes and item sharing; shared project roles apply across editors and storage.
- 3D capabilities are described across AI surfaces and cinematic results receive fuller previews.
Tips
- Use the narrow guide as the checklist for a production task; this article is intentionally a map.
- Old article URLs are preserved where the feature evolved. In particular, the existing Ad Campaign slug now describes the current HTML engine rather than creating a broken replacement URL.
Limitations and important notes
- This catalog describes source at commit cbfa39115. Uncommitted local Designer experiments were excluded.
- A source change and a help publication do not deploy any production application or service.
- Some reliability work has no new button; it is documented in the workflow where the corrected behavior is observable.
Troubleshooting
A feature in this overview has no obvious control instructions.
