Say goodbye to manual filtering and repetitive setup. With this update, SP Page Builder introduces powerful filtering directly within your Dynamic Details pages.
You can now show related items on the dynamic details pages with filters using reference and multi-reference fields straight from the Collection addon. For instance, if you are looking to display that “you might also like” section or “related items” section you can now effortlessly achieve that with the Reference & Multi-Reference filtering.
Whether it is a recipe details page showing other recipes from the same author or filtering recipes that share similar tags, everything can now be done smoothly using Reference and Multi-Reference filtering, without any complex setup.

Default Mode in Global Color Settings
The latest version of SP Page Builder introduces a new option that lets you set a default color mode. If you have multiple color modes, you can choose any one of them to be the default, and only that mode will be displayed.
To apply your preferred color as the default, make sure to disable the color switcher option in the settings.
Support for Video Subtitles in Video Addon
The Video addon now includes built-in subtitle support for MP4 videos to make your content more accessible and user-friendly.
You can upload a VTT (WebVTT) subtitle file directly from the addon settings. You also have the option to define a subtitle language code, such as en for English, and set a custom label that appears in the video player.
This makes it easy for viewers to switch on subtitles in their preferred language, enhancing both accessibility and the overall viewing experience.
Notable Updates
Improvements to Page Versioning
Page versioning now comes with enhanced controls to make version management more efficient.
You can bulk delete multiple versions at once, saving time when cleaning up outdated entries. In addition, a new version limit option lets you define how many versions should be stored for a page, automatically removing older ones as new versions are created.
This keeps your version history organized while preventing unnecessary storage buildup.
Added the option to have accordion open/close toggle behavior
Introduced a new option that allows you to control the accordion’s open and close toggle behavior. This gives you more flexibility in how accordions function, letting you decide whether sections should expand or collapse based on your preferred interaction style.
