# February Product Updates: an extensive list of new features

![](https://frontend-assets.clipsource.com/5563231ccafbc/cli-56caff5e79f00/2026/03/04/69a80232204da_thumbnail.png)

This month, we’re introducing dedicated Page statistics, a brand-new Contact form component in Page Builder, smarter tag management, extended API capabilities, and major performance improvements in Schedules. We’ve also improved publishing clarity, strengthened automatic design adaptability, and resolved several important issues affecting media display.

# New features

## New: Page statistics for Page Builder

Pages created with Page Builder now have their own dedicated statistics view. You can track how your pages perform — just like Posts — with insights into:

- Total page views
- Known users (when logged in)
- Unknown users (for public pages)
- Downloads made directly from media added via Page Builder components
 

This makes it easier to understand engagement with show pages, campaign pages, or other custom-built sections in Media Center.

**Note**: Download tracking currently applies to downloads triggered within Page Builder components (not downloads made directly from Mediabank collection views)

These statistics are available for all pages you may build in the Page Builder, except for the page you have set as your homepage. Homepage traffic is currently not included in Page Statistics. For homepage insights, customers using Google Analytics can access that data in their own GA setup.

**Where to find it:** Media Center → Pages → Open three dot menu on a Page → **Statistics**

## New: Contact form component in Page Builder

We’ve introduced a brand-new **Contact form** component in Page Builder — replacing the legacy form solution previously used in Websites and older Pages.

You can now:

- Add contact forms directly to any Page Builder page
- Define a recipient email (submissions are sent directly via email)
- Customize confirmation messages
- Use predefined fields (Name, Company, Email, Message)
- Add custom fields as needed
- Mark fields as mandatory
- Add forms in both public and access-controlled setups
 

Clipsource does **not** store or process submissions — they are delivered directly to the defined recipient.

**Where to find it:** Media Center → Pages → Edit page or create a new one → Add component (Basic) → **Contact Form**

## New: Contact cards on Page Builder

As per popular request, we have added a new component where you can display contact cards on any landing page you create.

- Select the contacts you want (as many as needed)
- Choose alignment (center, left or right)
- Add a header if needed
- Change the spacing and background color (also now fully UI adaptable, like other automatic components)
 

As mentioned in our last update, your contact cards will also be displaced nicer, by having a new and upgraded view, so all your contact card images look the same in a cohesive way.

**Where to find it:** Media Center → Pages → Edit page or create a new one → Add component (Basic) → **Contact Cards**

# Improvements & Updates to existing features

## Improvement: Merge tags when renaming

Managing large tag libraries just got easier. When renaming a tag, if the new name already exists, you’re now prompted to merge the tags.

If confirmed:

- All connections are automatically moved
- Duplicate tags are eliminated
- Content structure becomes cleaner
 

This helps prevent long-term tag fragmentation and keeps filtering structured and professional.

**Where to find it:** Admin → Tags → Edit a tag → Rename to an existing tag name

## Improvement: Publish tab clarity for Posts & Events

We’ve added an information panel in the **Publish** tab for Posts and Events. Before publishing, you now see a clear summary of:

- Access control settings
- Notification choices
- If the post is scheduled for publishing
 

This gives editors a final confirmation of what will happen once content is published — reducing mistakes and increasing confidence. The panel is only shown for unpublished content.

**Where to find it:** Media Center → Open Post or Event → 5. Publish tab (visible before publishing)

## Upgrade: Extended news API

The News API has been expanded with additional structured data.

Newly supported fields:

- Publisher and author information (relevant for Book customers)
- Tags
 

Including tags in the API makes it easier to build structured external news pages, menus, or categorized sections on your own website using Clipsource data.

**Where to find it:** Available via News API endpoints (for customers using API integrations)

## Improvement: Searchable channel selector (Schedules)

The channel dropdown in Admin → Schedules now supports search.

Start typing to instantly filter channels — especially helpful for customers managing many channels. This improves navigation speed and reduces friction in schedule management.

**Where to find it:** Admin → Schedules → Channel selector dropdown

## Improvement: Schedule (EPG) Admin performance

We’ve significantly improved loading performance in the Admin Schedule view.

- By optimizing validation logic and rebuilding how the list is generated:
- Page load times are noticeably faster
- Large schedule datasets are handled more smoothly
- The overall experience is more responsive
 

For customers working with heavy EPG data, this is a major usability improvement.

**Where to find it:** Admin → Schedules

##  

## Improvement: Adaptive UI colours in Automatic components

Automatic components in Media Center now adapt to background colours automatically.

When you change a background color:

- Text switches between light and dark tones![](https://frontend-assets.clipsource.com/5563231ccafbc/cli-56caff5e79f00/2026/03/04/69a8010399c29.png)
- Buttons adapt
- Icons adjust
- Labels maintain contrast
- Borders and frames adjust where applicable
 

This works across all automatic components (e.g. Latest Posts, related content components, etc.). The result:

- Improved readability
- Better accessibility support
- Greater design flexibility
- Consistent visual hierarchy across branded backgrounds
 

**Where to find it:** Media Center → Pages → Automatic components (background colour settings in any automatic component.

# Other fixes

## Fix: Photographer metadata display

Photographer information is now consistently shown in the image preview modal. Previously, this metadata was missing in some views.

**Where to find it:** Media Center → Open image preview modal

## Fix: External video as poster in Media Center

Resolved an issue where external videos (e.g. YouTube embeds) could not reliably be saved as poster thumbnails.

External media now:

- Saves correctly as poster
- Persists after editing
- Displays consistently in published view
 

**Where to find it:** Media Center → Post → Related Media → Set external video as poster
