Summary

AI summary

Rebuilt content builder unifies all types under one route-driven interface with dark mode and design-system polish.

Full changelog

This release rebuilds the content builder and gives the whole admin app a visual refresh. Every content type — flows, launchers, checklists, banners, and resource centers — now lives in one route-driven builder that shares the same floating-panel chrome, settings fields, and navigation. Alongside it the workspace gains a full dark mode and a round of design-system cleanup so weights, cards, and controls read consistently everywhere.

What's Changed

🏗️ A rebuilt content builder

All five content types now share one builder shell — a floating sidebar panel, route-driven views (no more mode flags), and a common set of field primitives. Editing feels the same whether you're in a flow, launcher, checklist, banner, or resource center. The sidebar footer was redesigned too: an honest save-state indicator (saving / saved / unsaved / failed) and a clear Exit, instead of the old misleading "Save preferences".

🌙 Dark mode

The entire back office now has a proper dark theme — a calm blue-tinted near-black with layered surfaces for panels, cards, popovers, and controls, so depth still reads without harsh borders.

🎨 Design-system polish

A consistency pass across the app: emphasis weight unified from semibold to medium, a single type scale, calmer cards and checkboxes, borderless shadow-based dropdowns and popovers, and friendlier auto-generated step names. Builder tooltips were also rewritten in plainer, more conversational language.

🐛 Fixes

  • Launcher tooltips now render inside an iframe like flows and checklists, so the host page's CSS can no longer corrupt their styling.
  • Embedding a YouTube URL works in resource centers, banners, checklists, and launchers — they now resolve oembed instead of trying to iframe the raw watch URL.
  • Modal placements apply both offsets on edge-centered positions, and icon-launcher theme opacity takes effect in the SDK.
  • A step's "Same as flow" theme persists instead of silently reverting to a specific theme.
  • The element-picker button now shows a real tooltip so its purpose is clear.
