1.4.0 – June 2026

Improvements

1.2.2 – May 2026

Bug fix

  • Members with no personal assignments were locked out of Keystone even when open-access reference modules were published — the admin menu now appears for any member when open-access content is available

1.2.1 – May 2026

Bug fixes

  • Keystone blocks (checklist, knowledge-check, document, video, callout, accordion) no longer appear in the block inserter on posts, pages, or any post type other than Items
  • Member Profile page interactions (due date editing, unassign, assignment shortcuts) were broken by a missing JavaScript file — fixed

1.2.0 – May 2026

Member Profile

  • Member Progress evolved into the Member Profile page — a full management page for individual team members
  • Per-user due dates: managers can set an individual deadline for any member on any module, independent of the module’s team-wide date
  • Per-user dates take precedence over module-level dates on the member’s dashboard, module view, and reports
  • Unassign a member from any module directly from the hub
  • Assignment shortcuts: copy all assignments from another user, or assign all modules in a section in one click

Module view

  • Incomplete assignees panel now shows each member’s effective due date alongside their progress

Settings

  • New Modules settings tab — configure defaults for new modules: module type, sequential completion, and open access

Modules list

  • Module type can now be changed inline via Quick Edit on the Modules list screen

Exports

  • Member Profile CSV export — download a member’s full assignment list with status, progress, due date, and last activity
  • Reports CSV export — download the full completion report as a spreadsheet

1.1.2 – May 2026

  • Excerpt field added to modules for optional custom descriptions
  • Empty modules hidden from member view until content is added
  • Favorites and topic filter pills merged into a single unified row

Reports & Member Progress

  • “Hide reference modules” toggle added; sections with only reference modules show a restore link
  • Finished count links to the module view when any assigned members haven’t completed it
  • Stats redesigned as compact cards: Required Modules Complete, Reference Modules, Assigned Users
  • Member Progress split into separate Required and Reference tables with independent Screen Options per table
  • Member Progress header card redesigned: user identity and picker together; summary stats in their own row below
  • Summary stats scoped to required modules only; Reference Modules count shown separately
  • User picker uses display name instead of email address

Module view

  • Header stripped to title and progress bar; section name displayed as eyebrow above the title
  • Module Information sidebar card always present; includes type, due date, manager tools, and post content
  • Status banners added for incomplete required modules: “Not started yet” and “In progress”

Polish & refinements

  • CSS border-radius values unified as custom properties; visual alignment with WordPress 7.0

Contextual Help tabs

  • All Keystone admin pages now include a Help tab with a page description and a direct link to the relevant section in the documentation
