New
- A server rail on the left switches servers in one click and shows how each one is doing. Next to it, the module list puts every module in five groups: Protect, Welcome, Engage, Utilities and Platform, with the modules that are off folded away.
- The server picker starts with Where you left off, the pages you opened last, and lists every server with what Kovu is doing there right now.
- Each server opens on an overview: Needs you lists what to fix, What changed shows recent changes with Undo on the ones made in the dashboard, This week counts cases, tickets and activity, and Modules on shows what is running.
- Keyboard shortcuts: / filters the modules, ⌘K or Ctrl+K searches, Alt+1 to 9 switches servers, [ hides the module list, j and k move between sections, and ? lists them all.
- Members can stop a server’s modmail messages with /modmail stop (and allow them again with /modmail allow), and leave the XP and rep leaderboards with /leaderboard hide or /rep hide.
- Comparison pages for Sapphire, Carl-bot, YAGPDB, Wick, Tatsu and Arcane, next to the Dyno and MEE6 ones, at kovu.gg/compare.
- TikTok feeds: follow any public TikTok account in Feeds, through Kovu’s own bridge. TikTok sometimes blocks it, so a post can arrive late.
Improved
- Settings pages show each setting as one row with its control beside it, and On this page jumps to any section. Simple and Advanced sit at the foot of the module list, and Templates and Developer & AI open inside the same dashboard.
- Prefer the old layout? Choose Use the classic dashboard in the account menu, and Use the new dashboard to come back.
- Your member pages and the public pages (leaderboards, server pages, appeals, forms, verification and transcripts) now work like the dashboard.
- Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps connected to Kovu can now see what needs you in a server, read everything that changed there, undo a change made on the dashboard and apply your server templates, each after a preview.
- Every DM Kovu sends for a server’s staff now says who sent it and how to stop it.
- The XP leaderboard command is now /leaderboard view, with /leaderboard hide and /leaderboard show next to it. The prefix command works as before.
Fixed
- Dashboard pages could hang while loading: a canceled request to Discord no longer holds up the requests after it.
- The error page no longer shows technical details.
- Keyboard focus is visible on every button, link and field.
- Reaction role menus and other settings Kovu sets up in Discord after you save now try again when the database is briefly busy, instead of staying out of sync.
