Changelog

Changed

• The “Week starts on” preference now offers every day of the week.

Fixed

• Fixed weekly traffic charts flattening to the same value for every week after the first load.
• Fixed the Authors and Tags pages failing to load when a filter includes a name with a double quote.
• Fixed AI Insights conversion charts showing the end of the post URL instead of the headline, and conversion rate charts showing conversion counts.
• Fixed weekly traffic trends in Sage and the MCP server, weekly AI Insights and goal completion dates so weeks start on the day set in the site’s preferences.

Added

• Added converting visitors and posts beside each conversion label in the conversions listing.
• Added a Baseline preference that lets admins compare today’s traffic with the same weekday last week, or the average of the last 4 or 8 weeks.

Changed

• Contact link in footer updated

Fixed

• Searching for a very long term, such as a pasted URL, showed an error page instead of the results.
• Fixed newly created sites showing their API secrets as overdue for rotation.
• Fixed the site picker closing when the pointer passed over the navigation bar while typing a filter.
• Fixed an error page that could appear after logging in with Google when the login was started more than once. The login page now asks you to try again.

Fixed

• The Overview’s sentiment headline uses upbeat wording such as “An exceptional day” and “A great day” again. Neutral wording is used only when the site’s top posts contain sensitive keywords.

Changed

• The HUD now shows the badge of a link too small to hold it only when you hover or focus the link, and marks the link’s outline so you know it has one. Nav bars and dense lists no longer stack badges on top of each other.

Fixed

• Fixed slot outlines in the HUD overlapping each other and covering link text in tightly packed nav bars and lists.
• Fixed the HUD drawing outlines past the edge of the page for carousels that run off-screen.

Added

• A Pages item in the Content menu lists all your pages, posts included, like your homepage and section fronts.

Changed

• The Showing control on listings now reads Posts, Pages, Videos and All.
• Pages that aren’t posts (like your homepage or section fronts) are now labeled “Pages” across the dashboard.

Added

• The HUD’s side panel now shows a page’s click-through rate and recirculation rate.

Changed

• The Favorites menu now shows your saved views first, in one click, with your favorite menu items below.
• Posts, pages and videos are now chosen from one “Showing” control on listing pages.
• The Traffic menu is now called Sources, and Journeys moved to the Optimization menu.

Fixed

• Fixed the filter bar wrapping onto several lines in narrower browser windows, and post titles getting squeezed when comparing periods.

Added

• The HUD now marks stories syndicated from another site in your network with the syndication icon, on their badges and in the Ranking list.
• Added rolling Last 7 days, Last 30 days and Last 90 days date presets.

Changed

• The Segments listing now shows page views next to engaged time, as the Posts listing does.
• The HUD’s color mode options in the View menu now show each mode as a swatch of its colors, so you can pick the one you can tell apart most easily.
• The metric selector on listing pages now reads “Metric:” instead of “Viewing”.
• Listing rows now highlight on hover, so it’s easier to match a number to its title.

Fixed

• Fixed the totals above listings undercounting recent traffic on short Pulse ranges, which made segments show more than 100% of site.
• Fixed Top Segments reports failing for sites that have no audience segments.
• Fixed the date picker showing the same month twice for a range inside one month.
• Fixed non-post pages showing under a “Posts” breadcrumb; listing columns and the New Posts count now follow the selected page type.

Removed

• Removed the AI Insight card from the Overview page. AI insights are still on the AI Insights page.

Added

• Added a setting for admins to choose a default audience segment that all dashboard users see when they log in.
• The site overview API and MCP tool can now be filtered by channel.

Changed

• The posts listing on a campaign page now announces its updates to screen readers.
• The site overview API moved from /overview/ to /analytics/overview/, and its filters dropped the overview_ prefix (section, author, tag, campaign_group, subdomain).

Fixed

• Fixed an error in Google Search Insights for sites that have no Google Search Console data yet. These sites now show a message saying so.
• Replaced the raw referrers_domain notice on post listings with a readable message when top referrer badges can’t be loaded.
• Fixed the Pulse chart on low-traffic video pages showing 0 on every axis label.
• Parse.ly MCP tools in Microsoft Copilot Studio now apply filters like metric, dates and referrer instead of ignoring them.

Added

• Added Google Search Console data to the Parse.ly MCP server: top Google searches, top Discover and News pages, and the searches that bring readers to an article.

Fixed

• Fixed large tag and section exports with share columns failing to generate.

Added

• The HUD’s side panel chart can now be recolored to match your brand through the HUD’s custom CSS.

Changed

• The HUD’s side panel chart now follows dark mode, using the same lighter blue as the rest of the HUD.
• The HUD now remembers when you close its side panel, across tabs and browser sessions, and reopens the panel on the tab you last used.

Added

• Added site-specific styling for the HUD. Reach out to your Parse.ly relationship or account manager to have the HUD adjusted for your site, for example to make its metric badges smaller or more transparent so they cover less of your headlines.

Fixed

• The dashboard no longer gets stuck on a blank loading screen during a backend outage — it now shows a retry screen that keeps trying automatically.
• Fixed an illegible logo on the “Can’t reach Parse.ly” screen when the dashboard’s theme is set to Auto.

Fixed

• Fixed connecting to the Parse.ly MCP server from Claude desktop’s Code tab.

Added

• Added “Today” and “Yesterday” presets to the Publish Date picker in the Bottom Listings report.

Fixed

• Fixed maintenance notifications not appearing in the Network Rollup.

Fixed

• Fixed empty charts and stats when opening a bookmarked dashboard link filtered by a URL path.
• Restored HUD badges on posts whose pageviews sometimes arrive without metadata.

Added

• Added a resize handle to the Parse.ly HUD’s side panel. Drag it, or focus it and use the arrow keys, to set the panel’s width; double-click it to go back to the default. Your chosen width is remembered.

Changed

• Narrowed the Parse.ly HUD’s side panel so more of your page stays visible beside it.

Fixed

• Fixed the Parse.ly HUD’s side panel reopening on every page load after being closed. It now stays closed as you move between pages, for the rest of the browser session.
• Restored the explanations that appear when you hover a metric in a metric picker. They also now appear when you reach a metric with the keyboard.

Added

• Search results on a network dashboard now show which site each post, video or page belongs to, on the Search page and in the top bar search.

Fixed

• Fixed the links to the original article on search results when picking a post for a new headline test.
• Fixed search suggestions on networks without rollup opening a page that said “This view is not available for this account.” They now open on the site each result comes from.
• Restored Parse.ly MCP sign-in for clients that register dynamically (Claude Desktop, Copilot Studio).
• MCP connections stay authenticated longer between sign-ins, so tools that don’t refresh tokens silently disconnect less often.

Fixed

• Fixed author, section, tag and conversion group listings failing to load when sorted by Posts and a group had no posts in the selected period.
• MCP connections from Microsoft Copilot Studio / Power Automate no longer get stuck on a cached error response.

Fixed

• Improved the labels for the color-blindness accessible palettes.
• The “Last Accessed” time in Settings → Users no longer updates when someone opens a shared link, instead of when the user themselves signs in.

Fixed

• Fixed email and password login in the Parse.ly iOS app.
• Fixed dashboards embedded in an iframe showing a “Parse.ly needs cookies to work” message instead of loading.
