v1.47.7 (2025-04-25)

Automated backups are now available! 💾🕑

It is now possible to create automated schedules for generating backups. These can be defined under ‘Settings > Backups > Automated Backups’.

These allow a variety of possible options, such as:

• a selection of spaces (now even multi-space)
• the definition of flexible intervals
• settings for how many versions should be kept
• and many more!

The already mentioned improvement regarding the backup status will probably appear in an upcoming release next week. We look forward to your feedback on this new feature!

Please note that Capacities must be opened so that the backups can be created.

v1.47.6 (2025-04-22)

🐛 Fixes

• Potential fix for skip-back issues taking place.

v1.47.4 (2025-04-22)

Capacities now supports local backups! 📦🎉

Since we’ve been busy lately making Capacities offline-first, we can now work on features that would not be possible otherwise.

One of these features is local backups. This means that the archive of your content is no longer being generated on our servers, but rather directly on your own device. This has many advantages: you can back up your content even without an active internet connection - regardless of whether you are at home or in the middle of nowhere. In addition, backups can usually be generated within a few seconds, without having to wait for a notification email.

Since we have unified the export/backup system internally, all of these advantages are now also available when exporting individual objects or collections in Markdown format.

This is just part 1 of 2 of our reworked backups. Now that we’ve laid the foundation, we’ll be working on another new feature: automated backups.

🚩 Testing Request

Please test whether the backups created via ‘Settings > Backups’ and exported objects/collections in Markdown format are created as usual. Please pay attention to the following things:

• Does the backup contain all the content?
• Does the resulting format/structure meet expectations?
• Do all available settings work as expected?
• How long does it take to create the backup?

Thanks for your feedback!

v1.47.3 (2025-04-03)

✨ Improvements

• Precise cursor positioning in text when moving cursor up and down using arrow keys. When the cursor is moved to a text block above or below, the horizontal position is now maintained.
