This release brings powerful new communication and publishing features, enhanced AI integration, and a refreshed design for public sites. It also includes numerous small improvements to the editing experience and system stability.

Version 2764

New Features ✨

Announcements Channel

  • Create announcement channels to share important updates with your team

  • Announcements display an unread count indicator in the navigation tree

  • A channel can be exposed as RSS or Atom feed for external subscriptions

  • Control publishing with draft/published status workflow to only make the announcement visible to the other users when it’s ready and reviewed

Nicer Pages With Title Images

  • Add eye-catching title images to pages and announcements

  • Redesigned page headers with better placement of language indicators and page notes

  • Cleaner, more intuitive layout with the language selection now at the top right of the page

  • Choose from a stock image service or upload your own images

 

Refreshed Public Site Design

  • A modern, attractive default theme for public sites to make it easier for you to publish content. You can still design and use a completely custom design, but now you can also just use a nice default that looks like the Phonemos documentation page.

  • Choose your color theme and add a custom logo

  • Improved support for diagrams (drawio and BPMN now render as images)

Enhanced AI Integration (MCP Server)

  • Improved authentication support for ChatGPT, Claude, and Mistral AI desktop and web clients. It can now be added as standard Connector by your administrator and then it’s easily activated by you users.

  • Flexible configuration options including pseudo-dynamic client support

  • Advanced metadata search across both custom and system fields (last updated, updated by, draft status) allowing prompts such as “summarise the pages that are still in draft stadium”

  • Contact your Phonemos partner to connect your Phonemos instance to your LLM-provider

Improvements ⚡

User Profile

  • Nicer user profile interface with password and passkey management options

  • Custom user profile page links (configurable)

Export Improvements

  • Provide nice default templates for the export for Word

  • Provide nicer PDF template both for with and without title page and table of contents

  • Allow to download the built-in templates. This makes it easy for you to create your own templates based on them.
