Small Things, Big Joys — More Control, Fewer Clicks, and a Touch of Fall Polish 🍁

Hello ABLE friends!

September is here, and with it comes a fresh wave of features, playful polish, and smart improvements — all designed to make your flow smoother, more intuitive, and dare we say, a little more fun.

Here’s what we’ve packed into this cozy autumn update:

✨ Improvements

• Toggle Views in the Library

  Choose if you want to see the views (or if you don’t). The new toggle gives you more clarity and control.

• Ellipsis Menus for Pages

  Finally! A compact menu for every page — just one click for actions like rename, duplicate, or delete.

• Drag & Drop to Vaults and Contexts

  Drop your items straight into the root of Vaults or Contexts — fast, easy, intuitive.

• Media Playing Indicators on Tabs

  See which tabs are playing audio or video at a glance — no more guessing who’s making noise.

• Hovering over links now shows URLs (yey!)

🧹 Quality-of-Life Improvements

• New Creation Menus (in Context & Library screens)

  A quick way to add items right where you need them, with fresh, clean menus.

• Horizontal Divider in Context View

  Organize your views with a simple horizontal line and instant access to “Open as Context” or “Pin/Unpin”.

• Sticky Breadcrumbs & Menus

  No more losing your way in a file. Breadcrumbs and context menus stay visible while you scroll.
  

• Cleaner spacing between editor panes and blocks

• Crisper, friendlier URL display across the app

• Drag-and-drop just got smoother and smarter

• Right-click menus now appear on empty areas too

• Brand-new folder icons (empty vs. full!) + refined folder behavior

• Updated shortcut for “Paste without formatting”

• Breadcrumbs got a mini glow-up (yes, again!)

• Inbox respects your folders — new items don’t get lost anymore

🐞 Bugs, Begone

• PDF rename now keeps the extension (and opens correctly!)

• PDFs opened via search no longer become Markdown goblins

• CMD+Z doesn’t randomly delete your content anymore

• Search modal stays open even if you open results in background

• Tree elements behave nicely now when creating or renaming

• Context menu-created items now land in the right place

That’s a wrap for September! 🍂

As always, your feedback helps us grow. Let us know what made your day easier — or what still needs a little love.

Happy creating,
