What's new?
v1.43.44 (2024-12-05)
Potential fixes to updating issues
Some users experience issues with updating objects across devices. In these cases, content is always synced to the server but not live updated on some devices. Your data is saved, just not live updated.
With this update, we added a fix that should improve the situation. On top, we added improvements to the “Offline & Sync” settings, so the current state is more transparent. We’re working full steam on fixing the remaining issues.
✨ Improvements
- Better display of updating issues. If you’re device is not able to get changes from other devices, you’ll now see a warning symbol in the top right.
- Improved “Offline & Sync” settings. You now see details the current status of the synchronization of your device and the current state of the offline support.
- The ability to pin collections to the dashboard has been added to the object menu.
- Improved the UI/UX of the drop-down menu for object properties, e.g. for multi-select properties.
🐛 Fixes
- The functionality to upload files to Capacities via the share sheet on iOS has been restored.
- Files can now be uploaded via the upload modal within collections again.

You can now add tags to your blocks by typing “+Add tags to block”. It will automatically select tags from your existing set of tags.
Tag queries now support a union of tags
In tag queries, you can now select if you want to show content that is tagged with any of the selected tags or with all selected tags. If you select all, it will show objects tagged on the top level with all tags and blocks if they are tagged with all tags in that block.
