Changelog
Stay up to date with the latest improvements and updates to Client Cove. We release updates regularly to improve your experience.
May 2026
v2.9.14 — May 1, 2026
Resources
- Resources now land in View mode after creation instead of auto-opening the editor — confirm the public-facing result immediately, then click into edit if needed
- Fixed the drag-to-upload zone on file-resource edit pages — drop new files anywhere on the dropzone and they upload directly via
async-upload.php
Settings
- Application Settings menu collapses behind a toggle on tablet and mobile, with auto-collapse when you pick a tab and a label that updates to reflect the active section
- Settings sub-menu labels are now visible on mobile (they were being hidden by a legacy CSS rule)
Dashboard
- Bento grid layout now responds correctly on tablet and mobile: 3 columns at ≤1024 px, full-width single column at ≤768 px, with multi-row spans collapsing to 1 row so widgets don't leave gaps
- Tightened widget padding and softened hover transforms on touch sizes
