v2.13.0 Minor

6 Jul, 2026

Enhanced UI and User Experience

This release brings significant improvements to dark mode, the Docs Builder, and accessibility across your documentation site.

Setup Wizard Design Step – Renamed the Layout step to "Design" and expanded it to cover layout, width, brand color and dark mode, with the live preview now showing dark mode and a custom dark accent color as you adjust them.
Docs Assistant Knowledge Base – The Knowledge Base tab now lists 20 docs by default (up from 12), with a maximum of 100.
Restricted Doc Icons – Refreshed the private and password-protected status icons with a cleaner, more modern design.
User Permissions Settings – Redesigned the User Permissions and Docs Collaboration screens with clearer descriptions, a capability reference table, and helpful notes so it's easy to see exactly what each role can do.
Role Selection – The Documentation Authors and Analytics Viewers selectors now list every role on your site, including custom roles, instead of a fixed set of defaults.
Dark Mode – Now works across all your documentation pages — single docs, one-page docs, archives, categories, tags and shortcode pages — and the correct theme is applied instantly on load, removing the brief flash of light. Visitors following their system setting also see the theme update live when they change their OS appearance.
Dark Mode Switcher – Made the light/dark toggle clearer for screen reader users, and themes that include their own switcher no longer show a duplicate toggle.
Docs Assistant Instant Answer – Docs now open inside the assistant panel by default instead of navigating away from the page.
Docs Builder Search – Searching now also matches titles of nested sub-docs, keeping a matching top-level doc visible with a badge showing how many nested docs matched, instead of hiding it from the list.
Docs Builder Header – The header now shows your total document count along with how many are drafts or private, right under the "Documentations" title.
Docs Builder Actions – Delete confirmations now show a toast notification for a smoother, more consistent experience, and the add, edit, and rename icons across the builder were made more visually consistent.
Docs Builder Reordering – Drag handles now note that items can also be reordered with the keyboard, making it easier to discover for keyboard users.
Docs Grid Block Preview – The block editor preview for the Docs Grid (shortcode) block now renders exactly like the live page instead of showing a placeholder shortcode tag.
Documentation Widgets – Polished spacing, image corners, and hover styling across the recommended articles, topic, and article list widgets, and improved the protected-document badge's contrast in dark mode.
Role Capabilities – Documentation role capabilities now update only when your permission settings change, removing unnecessary work on every admin page load.

Article Printing – Upgraded the print button with accessibility enhancements, a loading state indicator, a cleaner print/PDF layout, and resolved issues with the browser print dialog not opening on iOS Safari.
