v1.35.0

Page states, on-canvas gap handles and a folder-aware editor lead this release, alongside a Bob that checks its own work before calling it done.

Page states

A page is now Draft, Staging or Live, with badges on the dashboard and a status filter to match (#819, #825).

Gap handles on the canvas

Flex and grid containers could only have their gap changed from the Layout panel. Padding already had draggable on-canvas handles, and gap now has the equivalent: one handle per gap between children, or drag the whole band (#792).

Working across a folder's pages

When the open page belongs to a folder, the Layers tab starts with that folder's pages, so switching between related pages is one click instead of a trip through the dashboard. Titles drop a template's site-name suffix and routes drop the shared prefix, and right-clicking a row gives rename, duplicate, move, view live and delete (#890).

Importing a template group now puts its pages in their own folder under one route, so the links between them resolve (#892). Importing Mono used to leave three loose pages at /pages/<hash>, where the template's own href="about" led to a 404. They now land as Mono/ with /mono/home, /mono/about and /mono/contact.

Canvas zoom and pan survive switching pages too, so hopping between related pages no longer re-fits the canvas every time (#886).

Bob

Bob's only visual check was a 1280px light-mode screenshot, and it could not look at an individual image. It can now preview dark mode and mobile and read an image block, and it is told which theme the editor is showing the page in (#859, #860).

The prompt rules changed to match (#863): claim only what it saw land, check a mobile or dark-mode change in that mode before calling it done, and when told something did not work, look before trying again rather than re-announcing the same fix.

Bob also edits components and lets the sync update pages (#823), renders tables in its replies (#868), and says plainly when a failed turn is the user's to fix (#865).

Colours and tokens

The colour token dropdown moved out of the picker popover and into the Background field, so a token is one click from where the value lives. Colours can be typed straight into the field, and the New Token dialog shows the value it is about to save (#813, #816, #818).

Editor and dashboard polish

Duplicating a page used to keep the original title and its publish state, and renaming meant opening the page. Copies now arrive as numbered drafts, "Home (Copy)" then "Home (Copy 2)", and rename is a page action (#896, #916).

Recording.2026-09-24.230325.mp4

• Real italic faces load in the editor, at inherited weights. Italic text used to render as a browser-slanted roman on the canvas while the published page showed the real face (#879)
• The preview reloads when the page is saved elsewhere (#873)
• Form controls render in the canvas as real but inert elements (#806)
• Keyboard shortcut fixes, and the block context menu closes when a keyboard command runs (#796, #795, #828)
• Popovers and dialogs: the Items popover keeps its header and Add button, the settings modal no longer shifts on scroll, the command palette backdrop matches other dialogs, and popovers hide on small screens (#840, #838, #836, #807)
• The template picker opens fully painted (#837)
• Consistent title casing across shortcut and menu labels (#801)
• The dashboard sidebar header menu is back, and the pages list drops its scrollbar and redundant loads (#878, #899)
• Editor console warnings and errors cleared (#810)

Fixes

• A duplicated page no longer copies the client script's public_url, which let a copy overwrite the source page's live JS and CSS (#849)
• Stale cached pages are no longer served (#909)
• One malformed dynamic route no longer breaks the others (#908)
• Block client-script CSS is scoped in the canvas the way it is on the published page (#912)
• data.page_data carries dates and decimals, and whole-number props render without a trailing .0 (#911, #910)
• Absolute and data: URLs are left alone in image sources (#850)
• Favicons and meta images upload as public files (#835)
• Route variable values are escaped in the route preview (#833)
• Blocks copied in another browser paste correctly, including blocks nested in a component (#821)
• dynamicValues wins over the legacy dataKey when publishing (#847)
• Inline span colours clear when Text Color is set from the panel (#913)
• Images missing alt text get it, and _(...) is callable in page data scripts (#748, #745)

Maintenance

frappe-ui 1.0.0-beta.76 (#845), a 14-package dependency group bump (#826), Crowdin syncs, and two reverts: the frappe-ui code editor migration (#893) and the scoped settings dialog (#894).
