Hello again, **⚠ Warning!** There are significant under-the-hood changes in today’s build. Please read the following before updating: We’ve made **fundamental improvements** to the Preview and Export pipeline in Elements. In our testing, both Preview and Export are now up to **440% faster** , thanks to optimizations and enhanced support for **multi-core processing**. For example, our large theme test project used to take **3.8 seconds** to preview. It now takes just **0.7 seconds** 🤩 That’s a **5X speed boost** across the board for Preview and Export 🎉 We don’t anticipate any issues, but if you run into trouble, you can [download the previous build here (v0.7.7)](https://dl.devant-cdn.io/v1/app/38920638-e136-450b-a83f-5c0728a3bbc0/Elements-23501.zip/Elements). ## What’s New in Elements 0.7.8? - 5x speed improvements for preview and export! - Added CMS category to API for components - Gallery lightbox images are now resized better when viewport width is increased - Fixed issue with main page scrolling when a long menu is open on mobile - Added SVG support to Top Pages component - Added folder support to Top Pages component - Fixed alignment issues in Top Pages component ## Purchase a License You can visit the [elementsapp.io website](https://www.elementsapp.io/purchase/?utm_source=realmacsoftware-forum) to purchase a license. ## Get the Update Elements should prompt you while it’s running to let you know there’s an update.

Installed the upgrade. 🙂 Just tested the publish which seems faster but then I thought it was fast already (M4 Pro mac Mini). 😉 So it looks like the assets still aren’t being published if they are changed after the initial publish following a restart? I assume the export pipeline was just speed enhancing existing code rather than fixing publishing issues? On a separate note, when is the packaging for third party DevPacks going to happen. Ideally, I would want that in place prior to releasing my Alloy replacement blog. ---

Can you also share your project file with us again so we can take a look? In the meantime, you can [rollback to 0.7.7](https://dl.devant-cdn.io/v1/app/38920638-e136-450b-a83f-5c0728a3bbc0/Elements-23501.zip/Elements). ---

@dan As you can see in the video, [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) doesn’t update when switching to a new page." ---

@dan There is a problem with this build on my end. I cannot switch pages, it stays stuck on the home page. I tried both the popup at the bottom of the editor in the breadcrumb and the pages panel. Regardless of which page I select the editor does not update to display that pages. I’ll try quitting and restarting to see if that fixes the problem. _UPDATE: a restart seems to have fixed the problem, will keep testing. This version did crash when I tried to publish a site that I had published a few minutes earlier._ ---
