Bug Fixes
- [Comments]: In Comment Sidebar V2 custom-actions mode, grouped rows now match V1 — the current page’s group shows the “(This page)” suffix, toggling a group flips only that group, and navigating between pages preserves rows and expansion state. Learn more →
-
[Comments]: The
count-type='filter'badge andfilterCommentsOnDompin gate now reflect the filtered list from the sidebar’s first load, instead of briefly counting all annotations. -
[Comments]: Sidebar free-text search now matches every comment and reply (not just the first comment) by text or author name, adds exact
#Ncomment-number search, and no longer matches hidden HTML markup. -
[Comments]: The sidebar Comment Type (Public/Private) filter now detects new-style private comments (
visibilityConfig.typeofrestrictedororganizationPrivate) in addition to legacyiam.accessMode: 'private', so Private/Public counts are correct. - [Comments]: Global hotkeys no longer fire while you type in the sidebar search input.
This release brings the Comment Sidebar V2 to parity with V1 across grouping, filtering, and counting.
Improvements
- [Comments]: When grouped by location or document, the V2 sidebar now starts with only the current group expanded; explicit expand/collapse choices persist across reloads. Learn more →
-
[Comments]: The Status filter now starts with Open and In Progress statuses pre-selected on first load, matching V1’s
setDefaultStatuses. Learn more → -
[Comments]:
setCommentSidebarFilters()now renders client filters as checked options in the filter panel, cleared by Reset. Learn more →
Bug Fixes
-
[Comments]: Name-only locations (
setLocation({ locationName: 'Home' })) now scope sidebar grouping, filtering, page mode, and client filters. -
[Comments]: People, Involved, Assigned, and Tagged filter options are now keyed by
userId, so a person referenced by bothuserIdand email no longer appears as two options. -
[Comments]: With
setSidebarButtonCountType('filter'), the sidebar-button badge now counts the actual filtered list, and the same list gates on-page pins whenfilterCommentsOnDomis enabled. Learn more → - [Comments]: Selecting “All” on the Status field or hitting Reset now reveals resolved comments, matching V1.
- [Comments]: The default Priority section now shows a “Not set” bucket for comments with no priority, matching V1.
-
[Comments]: Client filters set via
setCommentSidebarFilters()for fields not shown in the Main Filter panel (e.g.version) now filter the list. -
[Comments]: The cross-field
system-filters-operator(AND/OR) is now applied to the sidebar filter engine, including values set before initialization. - [Comments]: The V2 sidebar virtual-scroll list now clips wide rows instead of scrolling horizontally, matching V1’s layout.
New Features
- [Comments]: New
restrictTextSearchToAnchorprop andenableRestrictTextSearchToAnchor()/disableRestrictTextSearchToAnchor()methods to restrict a text comment’s highlight search to its original anchor element, with no wider fallback. Learn more →
Improvements
-
[Self-Hosting]: The
fieldsToRemoveallowlist now applies to reaction annotations, recorder annotations, and all activity feature types (previously only comments andcustomactivities). Learn more → - [Comments]: Explicitly selecting “Resolved” (or any terminal status) in the V2 sidebar status filter now surfaces those comments instead of hiding them by default. Learn more →
Bug Fixes
- [Comments]: Text comments whose anchor text went stale now re-highlight via a wider fallback search instead of silently ghosting. Learn more →
- [Comments]: V2 sidebar facet counts are now computed against the same boundaries as the visible list, so a non-zero count no longer filters the list to nothing when selected. Learn more →
-
[Types]: The
@veltdev/typespublished entry chain is now type-only, so type-only symbols can no longer be accidentally imported as runtime values that resolve toundefined. - [Types]: Published element-model declarations are re-synced with the runtime SDK — corrected return types, removed stale aliases, and added missing Presence, Notification, Rewriter, and Recorder method declarations.
V2 comment sidebar events now flow through the unified
commentElement.on() event bus, plus correctness fixes for comments, reactions, and notifications.New Features
- [Comments]: Four new comment events on the
on()bus —sidebarOpen,sidebarClose,commentClick, andcommentNavigationButtonClick. Subscribe viacommentElement.on(...)oruseCommentEventCallback(...). Learn more →
Improvements
- [Comments]: V2 sidebar filter option counts are now absolute — they no longer shift as you apply search text or other filters. Learn more →
- [Comments]: Visual fixes to the V2 sidebar filter dropdown — dark-mode icon color, checkbox alignment, and selected-row accent color. Learn more →
Bug Fixes
-
[Comments]: Recipients granted via
enablePrivateMode({ type: 'restricted', userIds: [...] })are no longer dropped when a new pin is submitted. - [Comments]: The reaction pin and reaction tool render correctly again inside the comment dialog thread card.
- [Comments]: The default-mode V2 comment sidebar no longer reserves an invisible full-height block at its tag location.
- [Notifications]: Custom notification data now resolves correctly for self-hosted data providers when document paths don’t carry an organization id.
First beta of the modular SDK. The public
Velt browser API is fully backward compatible — existing browser integrations work unchanged.New Features
-
[Core]: Modular SDK — each feature now loads as its own on-demand chunk. Pass
featureAllowListat init (e.g.['comment', 'presence']) to preload only the features you use; omit it to keep the existing behavior of preloading everything. Learn more → -
[Core]: New
preload<Feature>()methods (e.g.preloadComment()) to warm a feature chunk ahead of use, or to load tag-only features (userInvite,userRequest,videoPlayer). Learn more →
