We've made a wide range of improvements across the platform — from a refreshed dark-theme design in Authority Building tools to cleaner data displays in Site Explorer, OTTO SEO, OTTO PPC, and beyond. Here's a summary of what changed and what you can expect.

## **✨ What's New**

**Site Explorer — Clearer SERP Change Tracking**

In the Organic Position Changes report, the former "SERP Features" column has been renamed to **Changes on SERP**. Instead of stacked icon rows, you'll now see a compact **+New / −Lost** badge. Clicking the badge opens a popover listing exactly which SERP features were gained or lost, each shown with its icon and name — making it much easier to understand how your visibility is shifting at a glance.

**Authority Building — Full Dark-Theme Redesign**

The Press Release and Cloud Stacks sections have received a comprehensive visual refresh aligned with the platform's dark theme. Every stage of the Press Release workflow — the main table, header, creation wizard (all four steps), the Review & Edit editor, the Distribution step, and status modals — has been redesigned for a cleaner, more consistent look. Cloud Stacks has received the same treatment, including the Custom Template Builder, the wizard review and site-selection steps, and the main table with its status modal. Pagination, empty states, and editor UI details (such as the Add Link panel and template scrollbar) have all been brought in line with the new design.

**GBP & Local SEO — Date Filter Now Remembers Your Selection**

When you reopen the date filter panel in Local → Reviews (GBP Reviews), it now correctly restores the field and date range you previously applied, so you no longer have to re-enter your filter settings each time.

**Content — Safer Content Settings Saves**

On the Content tab (Left sidebar → Content), the Save button now remains disabled until the form has fully loaded with your existing settings. This prevents accidental saves before data has appeared, and a clear notification is shown if you attempt to submit while the form is still loading.

**LLM Visibility — Accurate Sentiment Reporting**

The Sentiment tab's topic table now correctly displays each topic's own overall sentiment, rather than a shared or incorrect value. Access to the AI Visibility list is also now properly managed based on your plan's project quota.

**Report Builder — Layout and Save Improvements**

The Create Report layout description has been corrected for clarity. When saving a layout as a new copy, the **Set as active layout** option is now checked by default, so your new layout is immediately active without an extra step.

**OTTO SEO — Multiple Usability Improvements**

- Site Audit searches that return no results now display a clear empty state instead of a blank screen.
- The onboarding flow now clearly describes step one as adding a website, and the Automation section has been restored.
- Competitor sitemap month columns are now ordered by date for easier comparison.
- Domain-level technical check descriptions no longer clip — long lines now wrap so you can read the full text.
- The Manage Columns panel stays populated correctly, and its change indicator behaves as expected.
- The Page Pruning table no longer shifts around when certain requests are disabled.
- Charts are now anchored to the date of the last crawl rather than today's date, giving you accurate historical context.
- If the Crawl Tree list has no top-level items to display, the view now falls back to the graph automatically.

**OTTO PPC — Display and Pagination Fixes**

- Landing page URLs in the Approve Campaigns table no longer overflow their column — long URLs are now properly contained.
- After sorting the campaign table by a column, pagination now resets to page 1 so the results you see always match the sort order applied.
- Conversion value fields in modals now show an **Enter value** placeholder when no value has been set, making it clear the field is editable.
- The tracking management label has been updated to **Manage Tracking** for clearer labeling.
- Unneeded page-refresh prompts have been removed from validation notifications to reduce confusion.

## **🛠️ How to Use It**

1. In **Site Explorer**, open the Organic Position Changes report and look for the **Changes on SERP** column. Click the **+New / −Lost** badge on any row to see the full list of gained and lost SERP features.
2. In **Authority**, navigate to Press Releases or Cloud Stacks to experience the updated dark-theme interface across the full workflow.
3. In the left sidebar, go to **Local → Reviews (GBP Reviews)**, apply a date filter, close the panel, then reopen it — your previous selection will be restored automatically.
4. In the left sidebar, go to **Content** and open the Content tab (Brand Vault is a selector inside this tool); allow the form to finish loading before saving — the Save button will become active once your settings have populated.
5. In **Report Builder**, use Save As New to create a layout copy — the new layout will be set as active by default.
6. In **OTTO SEO** and **OTTO PPC**, the improvements described above take effect automatically — no action is needed on your end.

## **📋 What to Expect**

All changes described here are live and available to all users. The Site Explorer SERP changes column replaces the previous icon rows entirely — there is no option to revert to the old display. In OTTO PPC, pagination will reset to page 1 whenever you apply or clear a column sort; this is intentional and ensures results are always consistent with your selected sort order. The Brand Vault Save button will remain disabled briefly while your content settings load — this is expected behavior designed to prevent data loss.
