In this bug-fix release, we have corrected some of the problems that prevented calendar from updating properly as you schedule or edit your posts.

The scenarios these changes should help with:

• You click "Publish now" on a scheduled post
• You publish or schedule a post that has mentions or hashtags in it
• Data in the calendar gets "stuck" until you reload

We have also improved the reload button in the top-right corner of the extension. It should now actually reload the data on whatever page you're at (including the calendar).

There are still a few bugs we are trying to hunt down to do with scheduling posts, so if you notice any issues with dates not getting updated for example, please go to the help tab and submit a bug report immediately. If you do it without reloading, we should get the info we need to hunt down the problems we can't otherwise reproduce. 🙏

This update brings major improvements under the hood—we’ve completely reworked how posts and drafts are stored.

What this means for you:

• Fewer spinners and loading screens across the app
• When you leave a page and then come back, the old data will still be there
• You can now edit post tags anywhere you see a post
• And when new post data comes in, it’s reflected in real time—no refresh needed.

We also upgraded post filtering. It’s now easier to sort through published, scheduled, and hidden posts.

Deleted posts are also accessible again, so if you want to recover or reuse old content, you can.

Also in this release:

• We have redesigned Roadmap (roadmap.authoredup.com). We’re committed to updating it more consistently from now on.
    [Yes, this also means more features are coming soon.] 🔜
• We have improved collecting post data from your profile screen. Your post stats should now update a lot more often.
• You can now save a new draft by pressing Ctrl+S / Cmd+S

As always, we’ve included a batch of bug fixes. If anything feels off—especially with post data—don’t hesitate to reach out.

We’re here to get it sorted fast.

In this release, we have added a nifty notification slip, that will briefly show up on the AUP Badge while you're on LinkedIn. You can dismiss notifications straight from the slip.

Also in this release:

• We now do a better job mirroring LinkedIn editor warnings into AuthoredUp. For example, the warning you get when you add too many mentions.
• We also do a better job showing draft document previews if we don't have document details.
• We have improved our clipboard support. You should now be able to paste bolded or italicized text from Word or Google Docs. You can also copy/paste mentions and other AuthoredUp specific features.
    
  If you experience issues with pasting, note that you can always paste as text by pressing Ctrl/Cmd + Shift, or via the right click menu option.
• We have fixed a problem where a link card overwrites the image from your draft.
• We now support LinkedIn's new analytics page when you're collecting your follower stats.
• AuthoredUp is now more aware of when you upload a video and will handle the process better. You should also experience less problems like "video upload doesn't show up anywhere".
• We have fixed several glitches surrounding "Repost with your thoughts" posts.
• "Grab debug info" option is now available everywhere where you can report a problem.

If you experience any issues with the new clipboard handling or any of the other fixes, please let us know in the comments.

From this release onward, you can now set the intended actor on a draft, making it clear which draft belongs to which profile or company voice.

Use cases:

⭐ You’re managing both your personal LinkedIn profile and a company page.
✍️ You are a ghostwriter, handling multiple clients.

Here’s how it works:
• Start a new draft
• Use the picker in the upper-left corner
• Pick one of your profiles or company pages

You can also do this via the draft details page, both in the extension and on the platform. Generally, everywhere you use drafts, you can now see and filter by their intended actor.

And don’t worry - if you accidentally select the wrong actor when publishing, AuthoredUp will warn you before it goes live.

We’ve also improved the tag management widget. You’ll now find it in user settings, making it easier to keep your tags organized.

Stay tuned, as further draft improvements are in the works.

You can now change the draft status manually, from the draft list or details. We have also added another status - "ready to publish" - which helps if you're working with collaborators.

On top of that, we've released the following fixes:

• Drafts not getting marked as "submitted" when you publish or schedule a post (this can still potentially happen, but we've nailed one of the reasons why)
• Hidden posts will no longer show in dashboard stats
• Restored the missing "delete draft" button in draft details on submitted drafts
• Improved the reliability of mirroring your company pages and profiles

We are currently on a drive to improve our drafts and address some long standing problems. Expect more draft updates in the coming releases!

And if you have an issue or peeve with drafts, drop it in the thread on LinkedIn.
