It is now possible to search the entire Discourse admin from a single interface - this includes pages, settings, themes, components, and reports. To bring up the search box, click the new ‘Search’ link near the top of the admin sidebar. You can also access it from anywhere in the admin interface with the shortcut Ctrl +/ or Cmd +/ . This interface makes it much easier to find exactly what you’re looking, no matter what it is. Learn more and provide feedback here .
Categories can now be personalized with icons to reflect the personality of your community. You can select emoji or regular Discourse icons that use the category’s existing colour. This is a great way to make your site feel more unique and your categories more refelctive of the content they include. Find out more here .
Gone are the days where you have to save each setting one-by-one. Now, as you edit settings in your Discourse admin, a banner shows up at the bottom indicating how many settings you have modified, allowing you to save them all with a single click. The banner remains in place as you filter settings on the page, and you will receive a warning if you navigate away from a page with unsaved settings. You can use this right now in your Discourse admin.
When searching for content on any Discourse site, you now have more control over the sources of content that show up in search results. You can now specifically target posts written by humans or bots, as well as whispers and regular posts (details on GitHub ). You can test this out on your site today.
Selecting your community’s fonts is now easier than ever. The new font selection panel includes visual previews of the available fonts, as well as text size. This is part of the ongoing improvements to the branding and site appearance configuration experience. Check out the changes in the “Logo and fonts” page in your Discourse admin.
This release includes fixes for these security issues reported by our community and HackerOne .
