Full Changelog: 1.77.0...1.78.0

What's New in 1.77.0

• Home Screen Now in Core – the customizable home screen with apps and training is now built into the theme
• New Location Component – rebuilt with map-based interface and dual geocoding support
• New dt-toggle Component – toggle switches now available for forms
• Release Notifications Redesigned – moved from modal to navbar with unread indicator
• D.T Admin Delete Permissions – admins can now delete any contact or group

New Features

Home Screen Built Into Theme

The Home Screen is a mobile-friendly landing page that gives your users quick access to the tools they need most. Instead of navigating through menus, users see a clean grid of app icons they can tap to jump straight into their work. Admins can customize which apps appear, add training videos, and control visibility by role.

Previously available only as a separate plugin, the Home Screen is now part of the core theme for everyone to use. Key capabilities include:

• Custom Apps – create and organize apps with drag-and-drop reordering
• Role-Based Access – control which apps appear for different user roles
• Training Videos – add and manage training content directly from admin
• Light & Dark Mode – theme toggle with persistent preferences
• Magic Link Integration – apps work as magic link endpoints for seamless access
• Mobile-First Design – responsive layout with bottom navigation for app switching

The admin interface provides full control over app creation, icon selection, color theming, and visibility settings.

Release Notifications in Navbar

The release notification system has been completely redesigned. Instead of an auto-opening modal, new releases now appear as a dedicated icon in the navbar with a red dot indicator for unread notifications. Click the icon to view release details, and the indicator disappears once you've seen it.

dt-toggle Component

A new toggle switch component is now available for forms. The dt-toggle integrates seamlessly with other form fields, complete with loading and saved state icons that match the existing design system.

New Location Component

The location field has been rebuilt with a modern map-based interface. The new location-map component supports both Mapbox and Google Maps geocoding with automatic fallback, better handling of manually-entered locations without coordinates, and cleaner activity log entries.

Define exactly which fields and conditions mark a record as needing an update so teams can align reminders with their processes.

This can be used to create reminders on new contacts or paused contacts for example.

Global Search Controls for Archived Posts

Global search adds a Show Archived toggle, giving you control over whether old records stay out of the way or surface for research. By default, archived records will be hidden.

New User Apps / Magic Links tile interface

We've made it easier to view and manage User App (Magic Links) on contact and groups records

User Apps Tile on Contact Records

Contact profiles for users now include a also list User Apps or Magic Links. This helps admins easily find user Magic links to share the link with. Previously these links were only accessible on the user record in the users admin section.
