It contains loads of UX updates and refinements of options that existed already, just like the menus pages to your maps and timelines and many others., to do checklist, notifications and extra. This replace is the preparation for “Prodromos v.1.2” which is able to carry much more important enhancements to your World Anvil expertise.
📄 Listing pages vs Listing Menus
In all probability probably the most important change is that the Listing Pages (e.g. the checklist of all of the maps in your world) has been changed with a smooth Facet Menu. This implies:
- QUICKER worldbuilding: with fewer reloads in your workflow

With this replace, I don’t want a brand new tab to seize my statblocks so as to add them to issues: I can simply copy straight from the sidebar, which goes to save lots of loads of time and clicks after I’m worldbuilding! Thanks for all these updates!💕
