This update gives teams more control over how their status pages look, where service updates appear, and how responders work across multiple pages. We also made public metrics clearer, expanded French-language support, and smoothed out several everyday admin and onboarding flows.

What's New​

• Added a guided Brand Builder with distinctive starter styles and real desktop, tablet, mobile, light, and dark previews.
• Added a configurable floating Service Notices launcher alongside hosted badge and widget embeds.
• Slack can now work across multiple status pages in one workspace, with explicit or automatic page selection and channel defaults.
• Eligible workspaces can now offer French-language support across public status pages, notifications, sign-in, Page Admin, and Org Admin.
• Added a free tailored status-page setup service with an on-page enquiry form.

Improvements​

• Visual changes and custom CSS can be previewed before publishing, with revision history, rollback, validation, and recovery controls.
• Planned incidents now have their own admin view, and date-time fields make the active timezone clearer.
• Maintenance drafts remain visible while AI-assisted workflows ask follow-up questions.
• Public metrics now have more useful hover details, summaries, freshness guidance, and clearer handling for sparse or missing data.
• Guided setup explains service hierarchy more clearly, and the Beats walkthrough is now available as a narrated video.
• Customer API documentation is easier to navigate, with focused references, live read-only examples, and safe page-specific request previews.
• Atlassian Statuspage imports can replace an existing default page, with trial limits aligned to the Business plan.

Fixes​

• Fixed automatic incident resolution when a Beat recovers.
• Fixed upcoming maintenance visibility on service pages and false stale warnings on active public metrics.
• Improved Beats review steps, inline admin errors, mobile modal spacing, and public hierarchy expand/collapse controls.
• Improved Slack page selection, permissions, revision follow-ups, and duplicate-response handling.

• Added a dedicated Example/Demo Pages guide.

This update adds more control for teams that run regular maintenance and want clearer long-term visibility on their public pages. We also polished subscription management and several status-page customization settings so common admin tasks are easier to complete.

What's New​

• Added recurring maintenance scheduling.
• Maintenance schedules can now be previewed, edited, skipped, restored, and managed as a series.
• Public synthetic metrics now support longer-range views.

Improvements​

• Subscription management has a clearer layout and better save flows.
• Subscriber management emails are easier to understand.
• Homepage sections can be configured to start collapsed or expanded.
• Public page localization, custom styling, and reliability display settings are clearer in admin.

Fixes​

• Slack and AI controls now appear only when the relevant setup is configured - otherwise, they will remain hidden so as to not clutter the interface.

This week was about making StatiBeat easier to trust and easier to get started with. Admins now have better visibility into what changed, trial users get clearer guidance, and incident managers have more direct ways to review and adjust public incident information.

What's New​

• Added a dedicated Audit Trail experience for status page administration.
• Added clearer onboarding states for guided setup and imported pages.
• Added more direct paths between public incident views and admin incident management.
• Incident managers can now adjust public timeline entries from authorized admin flows.

Improvements​

• Trial setup language is clearer about workspaces, status pages, and first sign-in.

Fixes​

• Improved how retroactive and resolved incidents are displayed.
• Improved Slack confirmation links for newly created incidents.
• Trial signup now reflects the same password policy used by the backend - previously a bug resulted in a slightly different policy, resulting in one place accepting passwords that the other didn't recognise.

This week's releases have been focused on speed and confidence during busy operational moments. Large status pages should feel lighter and more responsive, incident workflows should respond more quickly, and Slack should do a better job understanding what you are asking without forcing you into exact phrasing.

What's New​

• Slack can now handle more natural operational questions about incidents, maintenances, Beats, and recent history.
• Retroactive incident drafts from Slack are easier to create, adjust, and confirm.
• Incident and maintenance follow-up questions in Slack now keep more of the surrounding context.

Improvements​

• Large public status pages load and update more efficiently.
• Incident creation, incident updates, and incident detail views feel faster on pages with lots of components.
• Component history views are more useful when browsing expanded service groups.
• Slack responses are faster and more graceful for common read-only status questions.

Fixes​

• Improved behavior around resolved incident states and empty incident history.
• Reduced timeout-prone paths in Slack and large-page workflows.
• Improved public page refresh behavior after hierarchy changes.
