✨ Archivium Update – January 2026
Story Improvements, Editor Enhancements & Search Fixes
Happy New Year, y'all! January’s update focuses on polishing the Stories experience, improving the editor, and delivering a healthy serving of bug fixes.
📖 Stories: Covers, Styling & Better Controls
Stories have received several quality-of-life upgrades:
You can now upload cover images for stories, which are displayed in the story list
Improved visual styling for stories to make them easier and more pleasant to read
Chapter publishing is now controlled by a clear button instead of a potentially confusing slider
Universes can now disable the Stories tab entirely (useful for single-universe sites) if stories aren’t relevant there
Together, these changes make stories feel more intentional and better integrated, while still remaining optional.
✍️ Editor Improvements
The Tiptap editor continues to improve:
Added support for text alignment (left, center, right)
Fixed several edge cases around content updates to ensure changes are only counted when something actually changed
🔍 Search, Uploads & Miscellaneous Fixes
We’ve also addressed a wide range of bugs and inconsistencies:
Fixed the Create Item page showing “New Undefined” when no type was selected
Search matches within an item body text is now case-insensitive
Search now only considers the actual text content, not editor markup
Fixed items without tags being unsearchable
Fixed items with shortnames starting with a number getting stuck in the Needs Review section
Fixed user profile image uploads failing due to incorrect size limits
Cleaned up broken checkboxes in notification settings
That’s all for now. As always, if you run into any issues or have suggestions, feel free to open a ticket on GitHub or contact us at [email protected].
