Updates
Option to disable automatic draft saving
By default, your community is configured to automatically save drafts of unpublished discussions and comments (to prevent a potential loss of work).
- Previously, you could disable this feature via the Stop Auto Drafts plugin.
- With this release, that plugin has been deprecated and replaced with a configurable Rule on the Dashboard > Settings > Forum > Posting page. Toggle this Rule ON/OFF to control whether drafts are auto-saved in your community.
- As before, drafts will be automatically saved, by default; however, if you're already using the Stop Auto Draft plugin, this setting will be disabled to align with your current configuration.
Updated expand=all parameter on /users endpoints
The expand=all parameter for API V2's /user endpoint has been updated to expand all related user fields, including SSO information and profile fields that the calling user has access to.
Hide discussions from Recent Discussions page and Widgets
The Hide from Recent Discussions page setting for Categories has been enhanced to include widgets. When enabled, it will now hide specific Category content from your:
- Recent Discussions page
- and widgets.
