27 August: A new space header, bug fixes, and a bunch of smaller improvements
We’ve just released a new space header to make it easier to manage your content, plus a whole host of other smaller changes to improve your experience in GitBook.
✨ New
This release includes a new space header, which makes it easier to navigate through your content, manage your content and edit in a change request. As well as moving a few things into easier-to-reach places and decluttering the header, we’ve added breadcrumbs for your current content at the top of the screen, so you can navigate back to other parent pages and collections with a single click. Plus, the space header now aligned nicely with side panels to make a seamless experience — which our design team are particularly happy about.
➕ Improved
You’ll see some nice improvements to the Settings section of the app — particularly the team settings, which now has a better structure that’s more consistent with other settings sections. The lists in the Members and Teams sections also got an upgrade, making it easier to select individual users, and sort by ‘last seen’.
We’ve made a bunch of small improvements to the broken links side panel to make it easier to find and view broken links in your pages. Also, users on the Free and Plus plans can now see one broken link preview in the broken links side panel, so it’s clearer how the feature works and what the icon alert means.
When you expand or collapse the docs site and spaces sections in the sidebar, GitBook will now remember the setting the next time you open the app — so you can always see exactly what you want, when you want. Plus, jumping to a specific space or docs site will automatically expand the relevant section in the sidebar so you can see it in context.
You can now filter docs sites by ‘Published’ and ‘Unpublished’ in the sites list, to see only the sites you want. We’ve also added pagination to the list, so you can jump through them more easily if you have a large number of sites.
We’ve also improved the SSO settings section. Now, you can configure a default team for each SSO provider. So if, for example, you want everyone who signs in with OneLogin to automatically be added to the Engineering team in GitBook, you can do that with a click — along with setting their default role. There’s also a link to our SSO documentation in the UI, so if you need help getting set up you can quickly get some answers.
🔧 Fixed
Fixed a bug that stopped images being directly inserted into a page when you dragged them into GitBook to upload and add them.
Fixed the spacing at the bottom of the site settings screen.
Fixed an issue with organization invite links that could show an error to people trying to join your organization using a legitimate invite link.
Fixed a bug that prevented some blocks from being switched back to normal width from full width.
Fixed a crash that could sometimes happen when trying to delete a page.
We’re constantly working on improving the way you and your team work in GitBook, and value your input on features, bugs, and more. Make sure you head to our official GitBook community to join the discussion.
