Changelog
Changes to the Parse.ly platform are documented here.
30 October 2026
13:53:43 GMT+0000
Fixed
- Fixed Print staying disabled on the Overview after using the URL path filter on another page.
- Fixed the report editor loading forever when opened for a deleted report. It now goes back to the Scheduled list and says why.
29 October 2026
03:06:32 GMT+0000
Added
- Added a Campaigns tab to referrer group pages, showing the UTM campaigns behind the group’s traffic.
Changed
- Groups can be renamed from the group editor.
- Deleting a group now shows the scheduled reports and shared links that use it, and stops those reports.
- Only a site admin can edit or delete a group, or its creator while no scheduled report uses it.
Fixed
- Renaming a group no longer breaks the scheduled reports that filter on it.
- Deleting a group no longer breaks the scheduled reports that filter on it.
- Fixed network dashboards undercounting views when the network’s sites are in different time zones.
28 October 2026
01:07:47 GMT+0000
Added
- Added a post’s publish time to the HUD: hover over a post’s badge to see how long ago it was published.
Fixed
- Stopped the HUD’s Ranking tab from listing a post once for every place it is linked on the page. With a post metric, each post appears once and shows how many slots it fills; with a slot metric, slots that share a title are numbered “Slot 1 of 2” and so on.
- Gave every badge of a post the same rank in the HUD’s Ranking display.
- Fixed emailed Details Reports showing older months on the timeline instead of the report period.
- Fixed the user export on the Users settings page timing out for large networks.
- Kept cookie consent banners that load after the HUD opens inside the page, instead of stretching across the whole window and under the side panel.
27 October 2026
04:46:06 GMT+0000
Fixed
- Fixed Undo after deleting a scheduled report, which could lose the report or its “Published within” filter.
- Fixed missing HUD badges for homepage links whose trailing slash differs from the URL Parse.ly tracks for that post.
- Fixed a blank page Dash could show while an update was rolling out. Dash now tries loading again on its own, and offers a Reload page button if it still can’t load.
- Fixed the HUD’s Locate on page button, which scrolled to a slot without marking it. The slot’s outline now pings so it stands out on the page.
26 October 2026
03:01:59 GMT+0000
Changed
- The HUD now groups Native iOS and Native Android under “Mobile apps” in the Channel filter and in a post’s Channels section, as the Channels page does.

- Fixed empty Apple News views in author, section and tag exports.
23 October 2026
07:05:47 GMT+0000

22 October 2026
10:57:45 GMT+0000
Fixed

21 October 2026
04:05:45 GMT+0000

20 October 2026
13:26:42 GMT+0000
Changed

10:33:27 GMT+0000

Fixed
- Fixed weekly traffic charts flattening to the same value for every week after the first load.

- 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.
15 October 2026
14:03:33 GMT+0000
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.

03:40:17 GMT+0000
Changed
- Contact link in footer updated

- 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.

13 October 2026
04:47:44 GMT+0000
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.
12 October 2026
13:50:59 GMT+0000
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 the HUD drawing outlines past the edge of the page for carousels that run off-screen.

04:27:12 GMT+0000
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.

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.

07:48:36 GMT+0000

/overview/ to /analytics/overview/, and its filters dropped the overview_ prefix (section, author, tag, campaign_group, subdomain).

- 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.
05 October 2026
12:14:23 GMT+0000
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.
