#  Product update: October 3, 2025

### Overlay improvements

Parse.ly has released important updates to the Overlay that include:

 * **New color scale**: The Overlay now uses a refreshed color scale, moving from
   purple to light green. Purple represents the lowest performance values, while
   light green represents the highest, making it easier to interpret differences
   at a glance.
 * **More accurate metric labels**: The metric label now uses “percentage points(
   pp)” to reflect absolute change, rather than suggesting relative change. For 
   example, an increase from 2% to 10% click-through rate will display as +8pp.
 * **Flexible comparison ranges**: Previously, comparisons were fixed to 10 minutes
   vs. a six-day average. You can now select your own windows, such as two hours
   vs. five days, and compare against the same period in the past. Past-period comparisons
   can range from one day to one month, making it easier to evaluate performance
   in different publishing cycles. A new five-minute data view also allows teams
   to monitor changes as they happen.
 * **Badge size metric**: For teams using Overlay in fullscreen mode, a new option
   lets you enlarge metrics for easier viewing.

These updates are a direct response to customer requests. Please keep the feedback
coming as the team continues working on a complete overhaul to the Overlay experience.
Stay tuned.

### Improvements & Bug Fixes

 * The issue where Path filters were not being applied in Goals has been resolved.
 * The save button in Goal creation is now disabled when ‘0’ is entered as the goal
   number, preventing the creation of unnecessary goals.
 * Switching between Pulse and Historical views should now behave correctly, and
   the graph will no longer block you from changing the date range on some listing
   pages.
