Actions

Some of our recent changes require a republish in order to appear on your live site. Here’s what we recommend:

Full Site Republish:
Required if you want to update global elements like the footer social icons (new SVG format).
Individual Page Republish:
Recommended for any page using Carousels (for accessibility and behavior updates) or Bios using “Load More” (for improved experience)

You can choose what’s relevant to your site. None of these changes is critical, but republishing will ensure you're getting the most up-to-date features and fixes.

For larger sites, we recommend scheduling republishes after hours or over the weekend to avoid longer publish times.

Known Issues

Low contrast on carousel navigation dots – tracked for a future update
When a single bio is returned, the counter displays “1 bio displayed” instead of “1 of X bios displayed” – under review
