Release 1.27.1
==============

Updated 3 weeks ago

    Search  Go

   *Released 16th April 2026*

Civio Engage version 1.27.1 brings two new enhancements to give you more flexibility when building your site — a new HTML code block for embedding custom content, and icon support for site menus.

What's New
----------

### HTML Code Blocks

A new **HTML** content block is now available in the page editor. This lets you embed custom HTML directly into your content pages — perfect for adding third-party widgets, custom forms, or styled content that goes beyond the standard editor blocks.

The block validates and sanitises your HTML on save, so only safe, supported tags and attributes will render on your live pages. Any unsupported or potentially unsafe code is automatically removed.

### Menu Icons

Icons added to menu items in the backend now render on the frontend. You can also set a menu item to display as **icon only** — the text you enter will still be used as alt text for accessibility, but only the icon will be visible to visitors. This is useful for social media links, search icons, or other items where the icon speaks for itself.

Bug Fixes & Minor Improvements
----------------------------------

- Fixed an issue where the **Save as Template** button displayed truncated text on some sites.
- Fixed a bug where updating the footer logo alt text on the Appearance page would incorrectly overwrite the main logo's alt text.
