- Billing and plan shows your plan and covered sites at a glance ImprovedBilling and plan now shows your plan, status, slots and renewal date as rows, and lists the sites it covers with yours first.
- Emails look like Rankbench ImprovedEvery notification email has a new look: the button says the next step, the filler line is gone, and you can reply to any of them and a person reads it.
- Guest posts and backlink exchanges each have their own settings and rules ImprovedIn a site's Settings, guest posts and backlink exchanges are now two groups, each with its own rules, summed up in a line and edited in a panel beside the page.
- My invitations is a list of your invite links ImprovedMy invitations now shows your invite links in one short list, with each site's icon, and lets you make a new link from any of your sites.
- Notification preferences look and save like your other settings ImprovedNotification preferences are now rows with a switch each, like Profile and Settings, and one bar saves your notification choices.
- People is one clear table, and invites say what each role can do ImprovedPeople now lists everyone on your site in one table, with their role, status and when they joined. Invite several people at once, and see what each role allows before you choose.

- See how set up each site is, and what to do next ImprovedWebsite overview shows how set up your site is as a percentage, with one bar of the steps and the next one to do. The sidebar shows the same percentage until you reach 100%.

- Website settings on one page ImprovedEverything you set for a site now sits on one Settings page, in groups with a list to jump between them, and one Save for your changes.
- Website setup fills in your audience and topics ImprovedWhen you add a website, we read its homepage and fill in its main country, language and topics, so you only check them and continue.
- Website setup leads with Google Search Console ImprovedWhen you sign up or add a website, verifying it starts with connecting Google Search Console, with what it's for and what we do with your data said up front.
- Ask AI from search NewType a question into search and choose Ask AI to get an answer about your site without leaving the page.
- Verifying your site, with clearer steps ImprovedThe verification screen now says what verifying unlocks, which method suits you, and what to do when a check finds nothing.
