Parallel Content Changelog

Improved: Upgraded to Claude Sonnet 4.6

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

All content generation now runs on Claude Sonnet 4.6. Expect sharper writing, better structure, and stronger brand voice alignment across all post formats.

Improved: Smarter research for better sources

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Parallel now decides per-post whether external research is needed, and targets primary sources when it is: official documentation, specs, changelogs, and authoritative references. Posts on fast-moving subjects (new APIs, emerging standards, competitor comparisons) get current, verified sources automatically.

The result is more accurate content with links your readers can actually trust.

Added: Public blog and changelog

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

We launched a public blog and this changelog. The blog covers AI discoverability, developer content marketing, and content at scale — the things we think most about as we build Parallel.

Both pages are markdown-driven so we (and you, if you're dogfooding the same setup) can publish quickly without leaving the editor.

Improved: Editor locks visibly while a draft is in review

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

When you send a draft for review, the editor now dims and shows a clear banner letting you know editing is paused (and who's reviewing, when available). Previously the editor stayed fully interactive, so you could type away without realizing your changes weren't being saved.

The banner clears automatically once the review is complete.

Added: 2 free regenerations per content item

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

You can now regenerate any drafted content item up to 2 times for free. The first generation still costs 1 credit, but if the result isn't quite right, the next two re-rolls won't dip into your balance.

Failed generations don't count toward the limit either. If a regeneration fails, retrying it stays free.

The redraft modal shows your remaining free regenerations, and the regenerate action is disabled across the row dropdown, editor menu, and slideout once you've used them up.

Improved: Bulk generate now shows credit cost upfront

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

When you bulk-generate from the content plan, the confirmation modal now tells you exactly how many credits the operation will use (e.g. "This will use 3 credits"). No more guessing whether you're about to blow through your balance.

Added: Dashboard credit gauge and upgrade prompts

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The dashboard now shows a live credit gauge with your remaining balance and any overage usage at a glance. The gauge animates on load and uses two rings — one for plan credits, one for overage — so you can see your billing-period state in a single look.

There's also a new upgrade widget in the sidebar that appears once you cross 80% usage, with contextual copy to help you decide if it's time to bump up your plan. You can dismiss it for the current billing period if you'd rather wait.

Improved: Knowledge base credits are now per-workspace

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

KB crawl credits used to be tracked on a rolling 30-day window across your whole team. They're now per-workspace, tied to your Stripe billing period, and they carry over if you don't use them.

File uploads remain free — only URL crawls and brand kit scrapes consume KB credits. Each plan has its own KB credit allowance (Free, Launch, Build, Scale), and you'll see your remaining balance in the gauge on the knowledge base page.
