Screenly 26.9.7: A dashboard tab you left open keeps up when you sign in or out elsewhere

Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Leave the dashboard open in one tab, sign out in another, and the first tab notices as soon as you come back to it. It reloads and lands where it belongs: the sign-in page if you signed out, the same workspace if you signed back in, or the Lobby if you’re now signed in as an account that isn’t a member of that workspace.

Until now the old tab carried on as if nothing had happened, and clicking around in it turned up errors such as “Session team_id is not found”. Signing out and back in as the same account left it showing “Your session has expired. Please sign in again” until you reloaded it yourself.

Opening a workspace your account isn’t a member of also takes you to the Lobby now, which lists the workspaces you can open, rather than sending you back to the sign-in page.

Screenly 26.9.7: Clearer colors across the dashboard, as a step toward WCAG AA

Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

We’re working to bring the Screenly dashboard up to the WCAG AA accessibility standard, so it’s easy to read and use for everyone, including people with low vision or who use a screen reader. This release is a step along the way.

The dashboard’s colors now follow contrast targets, so text, buttons, fields, and cards stand out clearly from the background behind them. Before, the same kind of element could be one shade on one page and another on the next, and in places a card was hard to tell apart from the page under it. Every page now uses this one set of colors, which also makes the dashboard look the same wherever you are in it.

A few smaller changes help too:

Only text that takes you somewhere, or opens a dialog, is underlined, so links are easy to recognize.
Screen readers announce which page of a table you’re on.
“Go to actions” on a screen or a disabled playlist can be opened in a new tab.
The quick actions on Home use the same icons as the sidebar, and Home and the sign-in page no longer have decorative background images.

Screenly 26.9.7: Members see the workspace name in settings, and other fixes

Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Fixes

Members who can’t rename the workspace now see its name under Settings > Workspace, with a note that renaming needs admin permission, instead of a “You don’t have access to this section” warning in place of the whole section.
If someone else renames the workspace while you have Settings > Workspace open, your tab picks up the new name instead of offering to save the old one over it.
A single sign-on link that names an identity provider Screenly doesn’t know now shows a page saying so, instead of an error page.
