API Enhancements
----------------

The Civio Engage API now supports full content management. With an API token, you or a connected tool can create, read, update and delete the main content across your site: projects, surveys and their submissions, pages, updates, timeline stages, events, maps, hotspots, documents, and more. Survey responses over the API.

Other New Features
------------------

### Icon Picker for Menu Items

You can now select icons from a large Google Material icon list for your header and your footer. Start typing to filter, then click the one you want.

### More Precise Email Styling

Emails sent from your site now render more precisely and on-brand. Including your theme colours, button text colours, and content you compose in the rich-text editor looks the same in the delivered email as it does while you're writing it. So what you build is what recipients receive.

### Document Upload Size Limits

Administrators can now set their own maximum document upload size (up to 60 MB) from the dashboard, and a file that exceeds the limit returns a clear message for your users.

### Submitter Handler Improvements

When a survey is submitted, you can now include the submitter's name and email in the actions that submission triggers. **Submitter name**, **Submitter email**, and **Project name** are now available to include in your submission notification emails.

Other Improvements &amp; Fixes
------------------------------

- The social media icons in the site footer are now larger, making your linked platforms easier to spot.
- The **Next** and **Back** controls on multi-page surveys now work reliably for people navigating with a keyboard, including anyone using a screen reader or other assistive technology.
- Improved Rich Text Table Editor Performance
- Documents and images with very long file names now upload reliably across the platform.
- Existing links stay clearly visible when you select them in the content editor, and link-style names are readable in the dropdown.
- Decorative banner images are now skipped by screen readers, reducing noise for people using assistive technology.
- The "Closing today" and "Closing tomorrow" badges on public project pages now reflect the viewer's local time and day. Supporting engagements that span across multiple time zones.
- Project category tags on the public project listing are now announced clearly by screen readers as project categories.
- Content groups using the 'Full width highlight' style now fit the page width exactly, with columns neatly aligned.
- You can now preview the in-progress (draft) version of your home page and see exactly how it will look, while published pages and live visitors are unaffected.
- You can now search within survey submissions from the submissions listing, making it quicker to find a specific response.
- Documents approved while a project is in draft now stay visible on the project after it is published.
