Greetings curious visitor! We reached the End-of-February 2021 development rollup update. Though the shortest month, per the Gregorian and Julian calendars, does not mean this month was short of new features and various enhancements. The gears, cogs and computational prowess does not stop! Let’s check out what the development team forged this past month!

Privacy Settings & Default subscriber groups
Guild Memberships
Starting now, timelines, historical entries, marker groups, layers, markers, and maps of a private world will be, by default, set to private. If set to private (due to world privacy state or choice), these entities will be automatically be given the default subscriber group of that world.
Use default subgroups…they are good for your health and sanity.

Quick Edit and Bilateral Editor/Presentation Navigation

- Article, category, map, timeline, event links from presentation now have a pencil button that when clicked moves you to the edit mode for that entity.
- “Go to..” Link: Top left on your editor bar. This link will always get you to the last article you have visited while on presentation mode. This means you can click on a quick edit button edit an entity and then click the “Go to” button to navigate back to the presentation layer.
