Wording changes you’ll notice

Let’s start with a few wording changes to make sure we’re on the same page before diving into the new features and updates.

“Member Menu” → MemberSpace

Your Member Menu has grown into more than just a list of links. It’s a central hub where your members can access and interact with all of your exclusive content, as well as manage their accounts, all in one place.

Renaming it to your MemberSpace more accurately reflects all the new updates it’s received over the past few months. Plus, it leaves room for endless possibilities as we continually work to improve MemberSpace.

“Collections” → Spaces

Your MemberSpace is comprised of various Spaces (formerly “Collections”), which contain videos, files, links, and other exclusive content. The functionality is the same, but the new name is more inclusive and allows for continued growth in the future.

MemberSpace button default text

The floating button that appears in one of the four corners of your website—where members can sign up, log in, and access your MemberSpace—now has updated default wording.
By default, the button simply says Members, whether someone is logged in or not. (It previously said “Member Access” when logged out and “Member Menu” when logged in.)

As always, you can customize this wording to fit your brand’s tone.

👉 Important: These are wording changes only. Aside from a few improvements and new features (explained below), nothing about how you or your members currently use MemberSpace has changed.

New features & other enhancements

Notify members of new content

When you add a new Space, folder, or piece of content, you’ll see a “Notify members” toggle (off by default).

Turn it on, and the new item will appear in the “What’s New” feed in your MemberSpace, marked with a bell icon at the top.
 
Members will also see a small notification icon on the MemberSpace button if there’s something new to check out.

Duplicate existing content

Need to reuse or repurpose content quickly? You can now duplicate posts, videos, links, and locked pages with just a few clicks.

This makes it easy to copy an existing item instead of starting from scratch.

A new search bar for members

Members can now find exactly what they’re looking for with the new search bar at the top of your MemberSpace.

Search works across folders and content titles and subtitles, making it much easier for members to navigate and access what they need.

Bookmarks replace Favorites

The old “Favorites” feature has been replaced with Bookmarks.

Members can bookmark any folder or content item. Once they do, a bookmarks icon appears at the top of your MemberSpace, right next to the What’s New notifications bell.

Everything they’ve saved is collected in one easy-to-access spot.

Other helpful updates

We’ve also made a few smaller improvements that make managing your content clearer and faster.

The cover image upload area now appears automatically when adding folders or content (still optional).

The toggle for showing content in your MemberSpace is now labeled “Visible to members” for easier understanding.

Any hidden Spaces, folders, or content now displays an eye-slash icon in your MemberSpace dashboard.

The former “+ New Collection” button has been replaced with a simple plus (+) icon, which you can use to add new Spaces to your MemberSpace.

Editing takes just one click with a new pencil icon. Other actions, like delete or copy link, are in a streamlined three-dot dropdown menu.

That’s all for now 🎉
