Release Date: November 6, 2026
We're excited to introduce SmartStash 1.13! This release brings noticeable speed improvements, handy new features, and a number of fixes that make your daily work easier.
🚀 New
Faster Loading Thanks to Browser Cache
Global Overview and myStash now cache data locally in the browser. This makes pages load significantly faster—especially when revisiting them.
myStash: The first articles appear immediately
In myStash, the first items are already displayed while additional content is still loading in the background. You no longer have to wait until everything has finished loading.
"Refresh" button in the Global Overview
The Global Overview now includes a button for manually refreshing the view—which is handy if you want to make sure you're seeing the most up-to-date information.
"New" button hidden in the Overview web part
The button for creating new items can be hidden in the Overview web part. This creates a cleaner interface and prevents content from being created unintentionally via the overview.
The Approval Center remembers your filters
The Sharing Center saves your most recently used filter settings. The next time you visit, your filters will be restored immediately—you won't have to reset them every time.
New filter option: Limit results to selected stashes
The "Limit filter to selected stashes" option is now available in the search function. This allows you to limit search results specifically to the stashes you currently have open.
🔧 Improved
SmartStash 1.13 includes a fundamental technical overhaul of all web parts. The platform has been upgraded, unsupported components have been removed, and the internal structure has been rebuilt. While this isn't immediately apparent in day-to-day use, it lays the foundation for greater stability and security.
Expansion of the Search Function
The search function in SmartStash has been enhanced with a full-text search and improvements to the input interface.
The precision can be specified in the web part's settings.
Stash Selection: Names Instead of Addresses, Sorted Alphabetically
The stash list now displays the readable names of the stashes instead of internal addresses—and is sorted alphabetically. This makes the list much easier to navigate.
Global Overview: Note in Edit Mode
In the Global Overview edit mode, an informative note is now displayed instead of showing content, as was previously the case. This helps prevent misunderstandings when configuring the page.
Table of Contents Web Part: Improved Readability and Usability
The Table of Contents web part has been optimized in several ways:
· All entries are now displayed in a uniform font size—the hierarchy is still indicated by indentation.
· Level 1 headings are hidden as soon as the page contains Level 2–4 headings.
· Long anchor links display the full heading as a tooltip when you hover over them.
· In edit mode, helpful hints appear in place of the actual content.
Consistent Visual Identity
Icons, dialog boxes, and controls have been standardized. As a result, the interface appears more consistent and uncluttered.
🛠 Fixed
File type icons are displayed correctly again
The icons for file types (Word, Excel, PDF, etc.) are now reliably displayed correctly in the article view, both in the SmartStash detailed search and in the global search.
Rich Text Editor: Formatting now works correctly
Errors in the rich-text editor have been fixed in the Notice and Accordion web parts:
· Bold, italics, and color are now applied correctly to the selected text.
· "Remove Link" and "Edit Link" now work as expected again.
· The formatting bar closes automatically when you exit the editor.
Timeliness Check Panel: A Clear Message Instead of an Endless Loading Animation
Users who are listed as contacts for an article but only have a read-only license previously saw a loading animation every time they opened the update check—without an error message. They now receive a clear notification stating that a full license is required for the update check.
Read Confirmation Job: Duplicate Log Entries Reduced
Performance issues and duplicate log entries in the background process for read acknowledgments have been resolved. The job now runs more reliably and places significantly less load on the database.
