This update brings a handy import and export option for Global Colors, making it easier and more flexible to manage your color palettes in SP Page Builder. You can now move your full color palette between websites in just a few clicks, saving time and skipping the hassle of setting everything up again. And what’s more awesome?

Oh, and just a heads-up — the “New Mode” option in the Global Colors has moved! You’ll find it as a convenient “+” sign in your mode panel on the right.
Notable Updates
Here’s a quick look at the handy updates that will surely be convenient to make your day-to-day work in SP Page Builder even smoother:
Dynamic Content Detail pages Added to Smart Search Indexing
This improvement allows smart search to pick up dynamic content detail pages automatically. It helps users find content created through dynamic fields more easily. As a result, your site search becomes more accurate and complete.
Visibility Option in Icon Group, Button Group, Gallery, Clients, tab, and Accordion addons
The new visibility option now lets you control exactly when an item should be displayed. For example, you can create and configure an item today, keep it hidden, and then manually enable it later when you are ready, without needing to rebuild or adjust the layout again.
Dynamic Content Filter Addon Now Supports Title Field
The dynamic content filter now recognizes title fields as part of the filtering process. This lets you build more precise filters based on titles from your content. It also improves how users browse and narrow down results.
Added Looping Option to Slideshow Addon
The slideshow addon now includes a loop feature so slides can cycle endlessly. It creates a smoother viewing experience, especially for promotional or visual presentations. You no longer have to restart the slideshow manually.
The Backend Editor Now Remembers Expanded or Collapsed Sections
The backend editor keeps track of your expanded and collapsed sections, helping you pick up right where you left off without any confusion. This makes editing faster since you return to the same view each time. It reduces repetitive clicks and improves your workflow.
Article Loading Performance Boosted for Dynamic Content Integration
Dynamic Content now loads articles more efficiently, reducing wait times. This improvement helps pages feel faster and more responsive. It also provides a smoother browsing experience for visitors.
Miscellaneous Fixes
Now that we’ve covered the key updates, let’s check out the fixes included in this release.
Undefined warning in Dynamic Content Collection site view: Previously, for some of you, an “undefined” warning would pop up when browsing Dynamic Content Collections. This has been fixed, so the site now displays these collections smoothly without any confusing error messages.
OpenGraph locale language code: The OpenGraph metadata, which controls how your pages appear when shared, sometimes used an incorrect language code. This fix ensures the correct locale is applied, so shared content now displays properly in the right language for your audience.
Global Configuration page on Joomla 6: Some users running Joomla 6 couldn’t access the Global Configuration page due to a loading error. This update resolves that, so you can now open and manage your site’s settings without any interruptions.
Duplicate alias in Dynamic Content items: Creating new Dynamic Content items occasionally generated duplicate aliases (URLs), which could cause conflicts or broken links. This has been resolved, so now each new item gets a unique alias, keeping your content structure clean and functional.
