Changelog
Changes to the Parse.ly platform are documented here.
28 September 2026
06:10:25 GMT+0000
Added
- Added a resize handle to the Parse.ly HUD’s side panel. Drag it, or focus it and use the arrow keys, to set the panel’s width; double-click it to go back to the default. Your chosen width is remembered.
Changed
- Narrowed the Parse.ly HUD’s side panel so more of your page stays visible beside it.
Fixed
- Fixed the Parse.ly HUD’s side panel reopening on every page load after being closed. It now stays closed as you move between pages, for the rest of the browser session.
- Restored the explanations that appear when you hover a metric in a metric picker. They also now appear when you reach a metric with the keyboard.
25 September 2026
07:17:53 GMT+0000
Added
- Search results on a network dashboard now show which site each post, video or page belongs to, on the Search page and in the top bar search.
Fixed
- Fixed the links to the original article on search results when picking a post for a new headline test.
- Fixed search suggestions on networks without rollup opening a page that said “This view is not available for this account.” They now open on the site each result comes from.
- Restored Parse.ly MCP sign-in for clients that register dynamically (Claude Desktop, Copilot Studio).
- MCP connections stay authenticated longer between sign-ins, so tools that don’t refresh tokens silently disconnect less often.
24 September 2026
07:56:15 GMT+0000
Fixed
- Fixed author, section, tag and conversion group listings failing to load when sorted by Posts and a group had no posts in the selected period.
- MCP connections from Microsoft Copilot Studio / Power Automate no longer get stuck on a cached error response.
23 September 2026
08:00:49 GMT+0000
Fixed
- Improved the labels for the color-blindness accessible palettes.
- The “Last Accessed” time in Settings → Users no longer updates when someone opens a shared link, instead of when the user themselves signs in.
22 September 2026
18:48:15 GMT+0000
Fixed
- Fixed email and password login in the Parse.ly iOS app.
- Fixed dashboards embedded in an iframe showing a “Parse.ly needs cookies to work” message instead of loading.
18 September 2026
11:01:42 GMT+0000
Added
- Sage and the MCP tools can now filter authors, tags, and sections by a partial value (
_contains), not only an exact match.
- The Overlay’s View menu has a Page fit setting (automatic, 100%, 90% or 80%) for how far the page zooms out beside the panel.
Fixed
- Campaign links in Top Campaigns reports now open the campaign’s detail page instead of a “page not found” error.
- Fixed the Parse.ly HUD overlapping page content on right-to-left Arabic sites.
- Sites with sticky headers or footers no longer see them drift across the page while the Overlay panel is open.
- Fixed the Parse.ly HUD overlapping page content on right-to-left Arabic sites.
16 September 2026
00:00:43 GMT+0000
Added
- Engaged minutes for new and returning visitors can now be picked as the primary metric in the Parse.ly MCP and Sage analytics tools.
- Sage and the MCP server can now return a single video’s detail: the pages it played on with the video’s starts and watched minutes on each, plus its totals and timeline.
14 September 2026
05:40:11 GMT+0000
Added
- Color vision modes are now available in the Heads Up Display. The View menu now offers palettes tuned for red-green, blue-yellow and monochrome color vision, each chosen so that performance levels stay distinguishable. The setting is independent of the light and dark themes, and the existing colors remain the default.
- The Heads Up Display panel can now be docked to the left or right side of the page.
- Usage stats going back to the data retention period are available under the “Usage” tab under the Site Settings cogwheel in the upper right corner of the dashboard. Admins are now able to view usage data, including top users by email address, most visited pages, and top reports run on a monthly basis. This data is also available in Sage.
11 September 2026
09:14:03 GMT+0000
Added
- Added an Export option to the Categories tab under Referrers, which downloads the full referrer breakdown by category as a spreadsheet or CSV.
- Sage app can now answer Parse.ly usage and adoption questions, such as active users, reports run, and API calls per endpoint.
- Sage now answers Parse.ly dashboard-usage and adoption questions, including for a specific past month (e.g. “dashboard usage for February 2026”).
Changed
- Signal now measures conversion-based scores using your site’s conversion attribution model of preference, and site admins can choose a different one for Signal from the KPI Metrics page.
Fixed
- Author, tag, section, campaign, referrer, and conversion groups beyond the first 100 are now available in filters, reports, and group management. Previously a site with many groups could see a group in its listing but not select it as a filter or edit it.
- Fixed the Sage chat sometimes staying stuck loading after a reply finished.
- Fixed Sage documentation links: removed duplicates, made same-named links distinct, and stopped showing bare URLs.
10 September 2026
08:25:36 GMT+0000
Added
- Match Any (OR logic) added to the Title filter.
Fixed
- Fixed several pages being cut off on mobile, including the filter panel, referrer groups, the goal history chart, and shared links.
- Sage and MCP historical queries that send full ISO timestamps for
start/end now query the requested dates instead of today or the real-time window.
- Sage answers questions that name no date range by picking a recent window and saying which one, instead of asking.
- Sage finds topics that only exist as smart tags, and no longer reports them as missing.
- Recirculation rate listings carry the post title, section, author and publish date.
09 September 2026
11:59:23 GMT+0000
Fixed
- Fixed the Channels, Campaigns and Conversions sections on post detail pages showing sitewide totals instead of data for the post being viewed.
- Stopped sending alerts and alert error emails to users who no longer have access to a site.
- Printing a page with a pulse chart no longer cuts the chart off at the right edge.
08 September 2026
20:47:51 GMT+0000
Added
- We’re experimenting with new ways of exporting large amounts of data. If you’d like to try it out, contact support and ask to be included in the Bulk Exports beta!
Fixed
- Closing the Heads Up Display now sticks. It stays closed as you move between pages until you reopen it from the Parse.ly leaf.
05 September 2026
03:31:30 GMT+0000
Added
- A public Parse.ly changelog at docs.parse.ly/changelog. New features, changes, and fixes to the Parse.ly Dashboard now publish there automatically as they ship.
