Check now stopped failing when it was actually working

Check now on Analytics gave you "Could not check performance right now" nearly every time on a newsletter with a lot of published issues. The check was fine. It just took longer than the page would wait, so you got an error while your numbers were being updated behind it.

It is quicker now, and it tells you what really happened instead of one failure message for everything. If the check is still going, it says so, and your numbers usually land a moment later. If you have not connected beehiiv or Kit yet, it tells you that.

Your stats were also refreshing on a schedule and getting cut off partway through, which left some issues without numbers. Those runs get through far more of your issues now, and one issue that will not load no longer takes the rest of the run with it.

AI Writers built from an archive stop sharing one publishing day

If your past issues came from an archive that does not show publish dates, HeyNews used the day it read them instead. Every issue in that import looked like it went out on the same weekday, so you ended up with a set of AI Writers all named after whichever day the import happened to run, and none of them matched how you actually publish.

New imports only use a real publish date, so your writers split by the days you really send on. Issues already brought in with the wrong day keep it. If your AI Writers are named after a day that is not yours, ask support and we will reimport that history.

Your dashboard tells you when Voice Training stops

When Voice Training stopped before your AI Writer was finished, the dashboard went on saying it was still being built. Nothing was coming.

It now says the training stopped and that it has been raised with us, so you are not left waiting on a build that will not arrive. If you do not hear back, contact support and we will pick it up from there.
