OmniCon 2.0.243 — A rebuilt channel list, a live-preview theme editor, SEO that extends to your own domain and your pages, and inline uploads via API & MCP

July 8, 2026

Fourteen versions on from 2.0.229. This release is about the day-to-day workspace and reach: the channel list is rebuilt around a cleaner table with multi-select tag filtering and a quick-access bar you control; the theme editor now shows a live preview as you design; SEO grows to cover your own custom domain and your Pages, not just articles; and there's a new one-call way to push files through the API and MCP.

Five themes stand out: a rebuilt channel list, a live-preview theme editor, SEO on your own domain, SEO on Pages, and inline uploads for API and MCP callers.

A cleaner, faster channel list

The channel list is rebuilt around a proper table and a canonical URL, with filtering that finally sticks.

• A real table. Channels now list as Channel · Tags · Members · Articles. The Channel column shows the name, the permaname, and the channel id (small and gray), all clickable straight into the channel.
• Multi-select tag filtering. Filter your channels by any combination of tags — click chips to toggle them on and off, and "All" to clear. Your selection is remembered per organization, so coming back to the list restores your filter. (And clearing the last tag now actually clears — a fix from this cycle.)
• One canonical URL. The list now lives at /{language}/channel/{organizationId}/channels. The old /{language}/usr entry point redirects there, resolving your preferred organization.
• Sortable, default newest-first on the admin organization/user views, with the redundant "go to details" arrow removed where the name already links.

A quick-access bar you control

The shortcut grid on a channel's dashboard is now yours to arrange.

• Customize your shortcuts. Click Customize on the Quick Access card to turn tools on or off — SEO, Integrations, Pages, Navigation, Authors, and more. Handy tools like SEO and Integrations are off by default; flip them on once and they stay.
• The "Channels" breadcrumb now returns you to the right organization. Previously it could drop you into your default org's channel list; it now goes back to the organization the channel you're in actually belongs to.

A live preview in the theme editor

Designing a channel no longer means save-and-reload.

• Live theme preview. The Theme editor shows your channel updating in real time as you pick a preset and adjust colors, fonts, header layout, and content width — with a visual template picker so you can see the presets before choosing.
• Floating live preview for custom layouts. When you edit a channel's custom layout or partial HTML, a floating preview renders your changes as you type (and a bug that could block the code editor is fixed).

SEO that follows you to your own domain

If your channel is on your own custom domain, search engines now get files that belong to you.

• Your own sitemap.xml and robots.txt. A verified custom domain automatically serves https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml (listing your published articles as your-domain URLs, updated as you publish) and https://yourdomain.com/robots.txt (which points crawlers at your sitemap, not omnicon.cloud). The fast next step is to submit yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml in Google Search Console.
• The platform-level omnicon.cloud sitemap and robots.txt are unchanged — this is specifically for channels serving on their own domain, where a sitemap and a root robots.txt actually do something for you.

SEO on Pages, not just articles

The block-based Page editor now has the same SEO tooling the article editor has.

• Focus keywords & a live score. Pick the keyword a page targets and watch a live 0–100 score with pass/fail signals and one-line fixes — the score reads your page's actual content, whether you build it from blocks or raw HTML.
• A Google search-result preview plus title- and meta-description-length checks, right in the editor.
• New to all of this? There's a full walkthrough at Optimizing your content for search.

Inline uploads for API & MCP

A new one-call way to get a file into storage when you already have the bytes.

• Save a file inline. The upload_inline MCP tool and POST /api/storage/ingest-inline endpoint accept a small file's bytes inline as base64 (up to 5 MB) — perfect for a pasted screenshot or a small PDF, with no pre-signed-upload round-trip. It joins upload_from_url (save a file straight from a URL) and the classic multipart upload for larger files.
• create_article now returns the body it saved. The response used to show an empty body even though your content was stored correctly; that's fixed, so a single create_article call is trustworthy end to end — no more "create then update" workaround for bulk imports.

Also in this release

• Account lifecycle hygiene. When an organization's sole owner is deleted, OmniCon now cancels its Stripe subscription automatically — no more billing a closed account — and fully cleans up organizations that have sat disabled past their grace window.
• Faster first paint. Marketing pages added connection resource hints and lazy-load below-the-fold images, trimming what the browser has to fetch before the page is usable.
