LeraLink Development Update: 13 November 2026

Release date: 13 November 2026. This update makes long event programmes easier to read, gives places their own websites and photos, lets publishers finish the publication of accepted work with less waiting, and marks every image made with AI in LeraLink, both for readers and in the file itself.

Events

Folding programmes. When a project holds several events, each one can now be folded to its heading. By default only the event taking place now, or else the next one, stands open; organisers can choose to open them all or close them all. Readers open and close each one themselves.

Places. A place can now have its own website and up to three photos, and one place card shows it the same way everywhere it appears. A room takes its venue's description and directions unless it has its own. The map button lets each reader choose Google Maps, Apple Maps or OpenStreetMap.

The morning letter. Members who follow events now receive their daily summary at eight in the morning, in their community's own time zone, all year round, including when the clocks change.

Right-to-left programmes. An event page and its programme now follow the direction of their language, and in Persian or Arabic the timeline runs from right to left.

Final publication by the publisher

A publisher can now publish an accepted work on its own, without placing it in a group. When the publisher has made corrections in production, it is now, by default, the publisher's decision whether to ask the author to confirm them; this applies to new submission rounds, and rounds already under way keep their rule. When accepting a work, the chief editor can recommend checking any changes with the author, and the publisher sees that recommendation first; publishing without that check is then a conscious, recorded choice. When the published text differs from the accepted one, the peer-review record tells readers that the version was accepted after peer review and corrected in production before publication.

Images made with AI

Every image generated in LeraLink is now marked. Readers see a small sign, "Image generated with AI", on the work's page, in images within the text, on catalogue cards and on the Wall. The image file itself carries standard machine-readable metadata (IPTC) saying that it was made with AI, and the resized copies we serve keep it. Only images generated in your own community are marked, so pictures that people upload or import are no longer mistaken for generated ones.

Tables that hold more

A table cell can now hold up to 2,000 characters, and a line break you type stays in place. Text that is too long is refused with a clear message instead of being cut. In long tables the heading row and the first column stay in view while you scroll, and a soft shadow shows when there is more to the side. Long cells also print, appear in the newsletter and in share images correctly.

Languages

A piece that appears in another project now shows the reader's language as soon as its translation is published. The translated name of a collection now appears wherever the collection is listed: in its project, on cards, in page modules, in the path at the top of the page and in print. On a collection's page, the content follows the direction of its language, just as a piece does, while the menus and frame of the site stay where they are.

The Studio

The list of pieces shows 40 at a time, with "Show more" for the next 40. Every filter shows how many pieces it holds, and search now finds pieces by title and subtitle across all your pieces.

Site pages

Moving between pages made with the page builder is now immediate: the site no longer reloads, a page you visited stays ready for the rest of your visit, and a page starts loading as soon as you point at its link. These pages now also arrive complete from the first moment.

What comes next

Next we will extend the AI image sign to the homepage, the newsletter, print and link previews. As always, every change reaches LeraLink communities only after it has been tested.
