# Convia Pro release notes 2026.08.17

> What changed in Convia Pro in the release of 2026.08.17. See [all release notes](https://docs.conviapro.com/changelog.md).

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://docs.conviapro.com/llms.txt).

## Added
- Task templates have a home in the task tracker, which surfaces template tasks and puts My Tasks within reach.
- Submitting, approving or returning content now notifies the right people: owners and managers when something is submitted, the author when it is approved or returned.
- A Generate with AI entry on an episode's Articles section, matching Promotion Posts.
- An advisory duplicate warning when you save a post that matches another on the same platform and day. It never blocks the save.

## Changed
- Articles now move from draft, to pending approval, to approved, to published. Marking an article as published stamps the date it actually happened, and an article approved from the queue no longer dead ends.
- Articles are tagged automatically when they are created and never re-tagged on save, so tags you remove stay removed. The idea form now says which tags it adds for you.
- Webcast Statuses is now called Episode Statuses, with wording to match.

## Improved
- Pages load faster, because each screen now makes a given request once on load.
- The storage meter is measured only on the screens that show it.

## Fixed
- Saving or submitting from the fullscreen article editor no longer discards your edits.
- Clearing a post's schedule date now sticks. The post used to publish at the time you had just removed.
- The calendar's "+N more" popover lists only the events that were hidden.
- Approved articles look approved. The Articles and Posts lists gained an Approved filter and show the status in plain language with its own color.
- Approving a post whose scheduled time has already passed asks whether to publish now or pick a new time.
- Returning a post records who returned it and when, and shows a Rejected badge until it is resubmitted, instead of clearing the status with no trace.
- The article editor shows the real published date once you mark an article as published.
- Generate with AI stays visible in the article editor, with a hover hint explaining what it needs. The explanation used to sit behind a disabled button and could never be opened.
- URL fields check their format on the Show Details, Host and Guest forms, and a published URL is checked before it saves.
- The Add Account and Create Task dialogs reset whichever way you close them.
- Idea and Script edit dialogs have a Status selector, matching their detail pages.
- Article Title and Task Name are marked as required.
- The Scheduled Posts tile counts every scheduled post rather than only future dated ones, and ignores trashed posts.
- Post search now runs across your whole list rather than the page you happen to be on, and the results counter reports the real total.
- The posts empty state respects the filters you have applied, and Facebook is selectable in the platform filter.
- Times now display correctly in your workspace time zone.
- Smaller fixes to page loading and table sorting.
- TikTok posts stop retrying forever when TikTok never returns a link. Convia now gives up after six hours and raises it rather than polling for a week.
- Reconnecting TikTok no longer loops on a revoked token. The account is flagged for reconnection instead.
- A deleted post opened from an old notification says it is unavailable and closes, instead of showing a generic loading error.
