Imports create documents in parallel, imported cards get a starting image from their type, and poems and lists keep their line breaks.

The media library's search now finds images by their content, so searching for castle or desert works even when the file is called IMG_4821.

Hiding a page from one wiki no longer hides it from your others. You can also hide chosen properties by card or by type, and page drags land where you aim.
Lighter, faster worlds
Opening a world downloads 17% less code, because the Canvas editor now loads only when you open a canvas. Boost performance in Account settings turns off blur and transparency on slower devices.

Upload several files at once and each one runs to the end. A file over the 25 MB limit offers to compress it or pick another, and failed uploads stay ready to retry.

Use bold, italics, bullets and titles in canvas text, and pick elbow, straight or curved connectors. Frames now show as tinted glass with rounded corners.
Connect the people you already have
In a relation tree, drag between two cards to link them or pick someone across the tree. Edit a link's tag in place; deceased people get a small badge, not a gray portrait.
Create right where you click
Right-click a folder or card in the sidebar to make a new card, graph or folder inside it, instead of moving it there afterward.
Card links keep your words
Linking text to a card no longer replaces it with the card's name, and you can change the linked words whenever you like.

A home for each world
Every world now opens on its own home page, with your world graph spread behind it, a tile that restores the last tab you had open, and your recent documents close at hand.
Add tools to your world
Open Tools from any new tab to try and add the World Graph, Notes, character sheets, and Embed, which turns a link into the real video or post. Some need a paid plan.

Faster where it counts
New cards are ready to type into the moment you make them, long document lists scroll smoothly, and your sidebar loads from a copy kept on your device before catching up with changes.
Your cards as a table
The Table tool lists your real cards as rows, so editing a cell edits the card. Add formulas, import or export CSV, and give a card type calculated properties every card of that type shows.
Quill beside your world
Quill opens in a tab next to everything else. The cards a chapter names gather beside it, clicking a name opens its card next to the prose, and each chapter keeps its own version history.
Work alongside your team
Broadcast a tab and it appears in your collaborators' tab bars, so they can join and follow along. Faces on sidebar rows show who has a document open, and more tools show live cursors.
Build your own tools
Creators can build tools in the Workshop with the vvd command line, try them in a world, and publish them to Tools.

Give a folder a color and it softly tints the folder and everything inside it in the sidebar. The icon picker suggests colors that match your theme and accepts hex codes.
A clearer account page
Account settings are split into Profile, Subscription and Preferences, showing your plan, renewal date and how many worlds, documents and storage you use. Back returns you to your world.

BoardsCustom pen colors stick to each stroke, and tablet pens open the color picker.
WikiVery large worlds republish reliably.
EditorUploads on unstable connections retry on their own instead of failing.
EditorThe text cursor no longer disappears after you click into a text block.
Published wikis can now live at an address you own. Your world home also greets you with something new each day.

A fresh welcome every day
Your world home greets you with a rotating message each day: a tip, a few stats about your world, or the radio station you last played.
World graph on your home
Search the world graph straight from your world home, or expand it to fill the screen.
Templates on every new card
Cards you create from an @mention or other quick paths now start with their type's template too.
Toolbar links become mentions
Linking selected text to a card from the toolbar now creates a regular mention, and picking from the @ list always uses the card's name rather than an alias.
Smoother closing
Close one of several open documents and the others glide over to fill the space.
Set up a card type once and every new card of that type starts ready to fill in. Map zones also get easier to reshape.
Card templates
Give any card type a template of sections and blocks, such as text, media, a map, a stat block or a player sheet. New cards of that type start with it.
Detach shared zone borders
Hold Shift while dragging a map zone's point to pull it away from its neighbors. Snapping now only links zones on the same layer, and the selected zone's points stay clickable.
Audio with waveforms
Audio files show as wide waveform cards in the media library, and audio blocks in your cards play with the same waveform player.
Full names in the sidebar
Document names now use the sidebar's full width. Action buttons appear only when you hover, so long names stop getting cut short.
A tidier Types window
Dragging to reorder card types and subtypes lands where you expect, long type names truncate cleanly, and the type editor's settings are easier to scan.
Fixes4
BoardsThe world graph now picks up mentions inside bulleted lists and block quotes.
EditorReference properties show card names instead of raw codes when the linked card's type differs.
EditorCard headers no longer flicker between layouts when three cards are open side by side.
EditorThe second paragraph in a text block no longer looks larger than the first.
Deleted documents now wait in a trash bin you can restore from, map zones snap together cleanly, and your wiki can take on a whole new look.
Restore what you delete
Deleting a card or document moves it to the trash bin, with an undo button right away. Open Trash Bin from Cmd+K to restore items or delete them for good.
Zones that share borders
Map zones that touch now share their corner points, so dragging one moves both. Corners snap to nearby zones while you draw or drag, at any zoom level.
New wiki templates
Pick a template from your wiki's toolbar: Synthwave Matrix, a neon cyberpunk look, or Wiki Traditional, a familiar encyclopedia layout with a contents sidebar and info box.
Subtypes in properties
Property types are grouped by type and subtype, and a reference to a type like Waterbodies now also lists cards of its subtypes, like Lakes.
Name cards as you create them
New cards open ready for a name, and double-clicking anything in the sidebar renames it in place.
A simpler pin icon picker
Choose a pin's icon, color and visibility in one panel, and pins dragged in from the sidebar now show the card's image.
One place to get help
The help button opens a single panel with in-app tutorials, video guides, support chat, feedback, What's New and the community.

Meet the new canvas
Create a canvas to draw with a pen or highlighter, add sticky notes, shapes, arrows and images, and place cards, maps and graphs side by side. Undo and redo work throughout.
Drag cards onto a canvas
Drop any card from the sidebar straight onto a canvas to place it there, complete with its type and image.
Images load faster
Card images, the media library and previews now load right-sized thumbnails, so pages fill in much sooner.
Linked cards as chips
Reference properties on a card show linked cards as chips you can search and add right in the row.
Aliases for characters and places
Character cards suggest their first name as an alias, and places like The Sword Coast suggest Sword Coast, so one click helps vvd catch more mentions.
See what text links to
Select text that already links to a card and the toolbar shows that card's image and name instead of a generic link button.
Clearer sidebar filters
The sidebar filter menu has a cleaner layout, and the filter button now shows how many filters are active.
Fixes3
EditorYour worlds list shows the right last-edited date for each world.
BoardsCanvases stay blurred behind when you open more documents beside them.
EditorLong card titles no longer show a scrollbar in narrow panels.
If your world holds thousands of cards, this week is for you: loading is about three times faster, the graph settles sooner and moving between tabs and panels feels lighter.
Large worlds load 3x faster
Your cards now load in parallel, so even worlds with tens of thousands of documents fill their sidebar, reference lists and wiki in a few seconds.
A graph that settles sooner
The world graph untangles itself 3 to 5 times faster, its connecting lines are softer, and the background grid now zooms and pans with your nodes.
Rearrange open panels

Lighter tab switching
Moving between Home, World, Wiki and your other tabs uses a smoother animation and redraws less of the screen.
Stat blocks in every world
The 5e creature stat block and character sheet blocks are now available on cards in every world, not only worlds set up for tabletop games.
Choose what a world is for
A new World Features section in world settings lets you mark a world for fiction, wikis, campaigns and more, so vvd shows the tools that fit.
Fixes4
EditorThe media gallery no longer shows duplicate images or skips images after batch uploads.
EditorClicking a property's name on a card opens its editor again.
EditorText in guided templates wraps instead of stretching sideways.
BoardsThe graph's right-click menu opens where you clicked.
We rebuilt how dragging works in your sidebar, so organizing a big world feels quicker and pinning cards to maps and canvases does what you expect.
A quicker sidebar
The sidebar does far less work as you scroll, hover and drag, so large worlds stay responsive. Heavier editors now load only when you open them, which speeds up the first load.
More reliable drag to sort
Reordering cards and folders, or nesting one inside another, by dragging in the sidebar now lands where you drop it.
See where a card will land
Drag a card from the sidebar over a map, a canvas or your pinned cards and the preview changes shape to show the pin or card it will become.
Fixes7
EditorDropping a sidebar card onto a map or canvas pins it instead of opening it.

Revision history
vvd saves versions of your cards, maps, canvases and graphs as you edit, plus daily, weekly and monthly snapshots. Restore one from the document header, and press Cmd+Z to undo it.
Big worlds open sooner
Wiki card pages open right away in worlds with tens of thousands of cards while the sidebar fills in behind them, and automatic card linking keeps up in very large worlds.
A lighter home graph
The graph on your world home rests once it settles and draws big worlds with far less effort, so it stays smooth even with hundreds of cards.
Friendlier guided templates
Guided templates keep your answers if you step away, and after a card is created, Cmd+Z takes you back to the form.
Clearer delete buttons
Confirm buttons now say exactly what will happen, like Delete Card, Delete 3 Cards or Remove Member, instead of a plain Delete.
Fixes2
EditorCard image buttons stay visible on iPad and other touch screens.
CollaborationCollaborators editing the same sentence no longer end up with doubled mentions.
Your images are easier to sort and safer to delete, your radio picks up where you left off, and you can cancel a plan right from your settings.
Sort and filter your media
Sort media by newest, oldest or name, and switch between your uploads and public images. Before you delete an image, vvd lists the cards that use it, then removes it from them.
Radio picks up where you left off
Your world home suggests the last radio station you played, plus two more in the same genre. One click starts the music, and new station icons make them easy to spot.
Accent-friendly wiki search
Wiki home search now matches names with accents and special characters, so typing Eowyn finds Éowyn.
Scroll to zoom graphs
Zoom in and out of graphs with your scroll wheel or trackpad, without holding Cmd or Ctrl.

Link your maps to each other, give your world over 100 new icons, and return to the editor without waiting for it to load again.
Pins that open other maps
Pins and zones can now link to another map, not just a card. Drag a map from the sidebar onto your map to drop a linked pin, and wiki readers can follow it.
Layer order on maps
Bring zones, pins and text forward or send them back from the layer picker, so the right thing always sits on top.
Over 100 new icons
New creature, item, location, weather and number icons for fantasy, horror and sci-fi worlds, plus dark fantasy, grimdark and mythology genres. The icon picker now has six simpler tabs.
Instant return to the editor
The editor stays ready in the background when you visit Home or Wiki, so coming back is instant instead of a reload of up to two seconds.
Search on your wiki home
The wiki home page now has a quick card search, both in vvd and on published wikis. It matches card aliases and forgives small typos.

Reordered items glide into place, long lists scroll smoothly, and the sidebar remembers the width you gave it. Click the left of a row to open it, the right to expand it.
Control name detection
A switch in the sidebar's filter menu turns name detection on or off. When it is on, vvd only rechecks the text you changed, and linking a detected name saves it as an alias.
A livelier home screen
Your world's home now greets you with a rotating mix of worldbuilding facts, tips, radio picks and community polls you can vote on.
Twenty achievements to earn
The achievement ring in the top bar now tracks 20 milestones, like using five block types or nesting folders three levels deep. A new tab shows what you have earned and what is next.
Clearer map labels and pins
New map labels start as clean white text, the T shortcut adds a label again, curving a label takes less dragging, and pin color and size menus sit right beside the pin.
Hidden radio stations
Some radio stations are now hidden off the dial. Tune slowly and listen for morse code to find them.

Your world is yours. You can now export everything you have written as plain Markdown files, and moving around vvd takes one bar instead of two.
Export your world
Open Settings and choose World Export to download every card as a Markdown file with its details at the top. Follow its progress, cancel it, and run up to five exports an hour.
One navigation bar
Home, the editor, Wiki, Create and Quill now sit together in a single bar, so you no longer flip between separate World and Create modes.
Static between stations
The radio now crackles with static while you tune between stations, then brings your music back once you settle on one.
New icons for your worlds
Five new icons join the fantasy set: a castle, a great wall, a mountain, a ring and a rebel emblem.
Delete any invite
Every invite on your invites dashboard now has a delete option, and its menu opens reliably on the first click.

AccountMuting sound during onboarding also silences the radio, and unmuting brings the music back.
BoardsClicking outside a node's details in the graph now closes the panel.
WikiEditing a card's properties on its wiki page now updates right away.
As you write, vvd spots the characters and places in your text. This week it does that almost as you type, and your published wikis open faster for readers.
Faster name detection
vvd now recognizes names in your writing a fraction of a second after you type, instead of waiting for a long pause, and remembers what it already found so it rechecks less.
Published wikis open faster
Published wiki pages are now kept ready between visits, so readers wait less. They still update as soon as you publish again.
Fixes3
AccountTutorials you finish or dismiss now stay closed instead of coming back.
QuillImages in stories you publish from Quill now appear on the published page.
WikiLinks inside a wiki published on its own subdomain now open the right page.
