SiteBuilder release notes

We released SiteBuilder version 2.630 on Wednesday 29^th October 2025. Changes in this update include:

• SiteBuilder Forms: Editors using Safari or Firefox should now be able to reorder form elements correctly.
• Video components with autoplay unselected no longer preload data before a visitor chooses to play the video. This improves page loading speed and performance, particularly on mobile data connections.
• Carousel components now correctly display images with spaces in the file name.

We released SiteBuilder version 2.629 on Tuesday 21^st October 2025. Changes in this update include:

• Resource bookings: It's now possible to approve or decline bookings for slots that permit multiple bookings.
• File uploads in the Components Editor:
  • When uploading files to a component (for example, the image component), it's now possible to select and upload multiple files at once. This also covers .zip files, which will be unpacked after uploading.
  • When overwriting an existing file, SiteBuilder now presents the option to keep the existing file's properties.
  • The Components Editor now displays a progress bar when uploading files within a component.

We released SiteBuilder version 2.628 on Wednesday 15^th October 2025. Changes in this update include:

• The Components Editor now offers the option to resize or convert uploaded files if they're over a certain size or use proprietary filetypes. This will improve compatibility and prevent slow loading times caused by unnecessarily large files.
• Images should no longer appear cropped when scrolling through in lightbox view.

We released SiteBuilder version 2.627 on Tuesday 30^th September 2025. Changes in this version include:

• Researcher profile feeds in SiteBuilder pages have been replaced with a link to Symplectic Elements, the University's new researcher profile platform. Note that the new system does not currently offer API access, meaning we are unable to display content directly from Symplectic Elements. For more information, see this news post from Research & Impact Services.

We released SiteBuilder version 2.626 on Wednesday 24^th September 2025. Changes in this update include:

• The preview window no longer displays both versions of a page when converting to the Components Editor.
• Files: File size and other attributes are now updated to the correct values when overwriting an existing file and choosing to Keep existing file properties.
• ReCAPTCHA should now be more reliably available in locations that block Google services.
