This list is updated regularly with information about releases for the Editor, add-on products, RAI, templates, and other relevant information pertaining to the Mono product suite.
June 2022
Launching the Product Catalog
We rolled out the Product Catalog on the 28th of June. It is now available to everyone and will be replacing our native Mono Ecommerce. Learn more about how the transition is taking place here.
The purpose of the Product Catalog is solely to offer a freely available tool to display your products. If you need a full e-commerce solution with cart, payment and shipping, you will need to switch to Mono E-commerce+ (powered by Ecwid). Mono E-commerce+ is the only ecommerce solution we will offer going forward.
Ecwid is one of the leading ecommerce providers with a focus on SMBs and advanced features to meet all your web shop needs. Reach out to us if you would like to make the switch.
Answering your questions about GDPR
GDPR continues to be one of our most important focus points and a topic we get many questions on. We are excited to share with you the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions that we receive. Read them here.
Continual improvements to web vitals
Web vitals is one of Mono's core areas of focus. Our built-in features in the Mono Editor and Mono templates ensure a great starting off point, however we are committed to continual improvements. We look forward to sharing what we have worked on in future updates - stay tuned.
Minor improvements and bug fixes
- hCaptcha release fixes: In some cases, the submit button had to be clicked after completing the challenge - this is now adjusted so that the input is submitted once the CAPTCHA challenge is completed. Some display issues related to the positioning and styling of the hCaptcha widget have also been fixed.
- Name server infrastructure update: We have made improvements to our name server infrastructure by configuring our NS3 on a new host, which will greatly improve the domain registration process.
- Resizing columns: Forms were previously collecting data without having data collection enabled. This has been fixed.
- Additional information for CSV exports in RAI: We have added more information when exporting CSV in RAI for you to use: publish date, total page count, and subpages.
- Cookie bot banner fix: We have fixed an issue that caused age restriction to block Cookiebot banners from rendering.
- Image wrapping for text or button modules: We have fixed an issue with the image wrapping in the editor for multiple text or button modules.
- Required fields in forms: Some form fields were labelled as 'required' even though they hadn't been set as such in the editor. This issue has been fixed.
- Improvements to the scroll bar: We completed some follow-up fixes and improvements to the newly introduced scroll bar.
Company news
We have reached that time of year where many of our partners and members of the Mono team are enjoying a well-deserved holiday during these summer months.
Our colleagues from Portugal joined us at the beginning of the month for our annual summer party which was a wonderful opportunity to catch up and celebrate everything we have achieved.
May 2022
Launching of new Product Catalog
As we mentioned in an update from mid-May, we previously offered two e-commerce solutions - our own native e-commerce solution and the integration with Ecwid known as Mono Ecommerce+; and that going forward, we are solely offering Mono Ecommerce+ for new e-commerce subscriptions.
To coincide with this change, we are also launching the Product Catalog, which will serve as a free and easy way for SMEs to display their products - without the possibility of purchasing items. The Product Catalog will be available in the Mono Editor from June 21st. Additional information will be provided closer to the release.
Ongoing improvements to web vitals
We know that web vitals, especially page speed performance, is of great importance to our partners (as it is to us!) - that is why we have built-in features in the Mono Editor and Mono templates to help SMEs with a great starting off point. However, we know continual improvements can always be made - and this month marks the start of our renewed focus on web vitals. Stay tuned for updates about web vital improvements in the coming weeks.
Switching to hCaptcha
We would like to remind you that we will switch from Google’s reCAPTCHA to hCaptcha on 31 May. As opposed to Google’s reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha complies with GDPR and data is typically processed locally within your country.
Keep in mind that it may take a few days for the cache to clear to reflect the change.
Besides the addition of hCaptcha, we would also like to inform you that we have made further updates to our third-party-services to reflect an up-to-date overview of services we use (removal of AppCues and Heap). You can find this on our third-party services & applicable terms.
Minor improvements and bug fixes
- Contact form issues fixed: We fixed the issue of the first dropdown option, which was not always selectable.
- Resizing columns: Resizing columns is now possible for when columns and modules have the same or nearly the same size.
- Scheduling button for mobile fixed: We have fixed a bug in Mono Scheduling. The “Create new appointment” button for mobile now works as intended.
- Gallery module fix: The gallery module was not using the proper module styles when the Instagram feed module was on the page - this has been fixed.
- Video & row module cookiebot fix: We added Cookiebot to video loading which initially caused a bug of not displaying the video frame in the proper style.
Company news
The Siinda Conference, Mallorca, 2022: Siinda was the premiere event the Mono team attended in May. It was wonderful to talk with our partners, listen to interesting speakers, attend great events, meet new friends, and discuss new ways to help move small businesses forward.
The event also provided a great venue to hear the needs of our partners and to get valuable feedback on how Mono can serve them. Want to share your feedback with us as well? This will be the last chance to participate and it only takes a couple of minutes. Fill out the partner survey here.
The Mono Team: In the beginning of June, the Danish team was met with new faces in the office, as our colleagues from Portugal joined us in Copenhagen for the week. They also joined our company summer party.
We have also been busy these last few months finding new, great additions to the Mono team, two of which will be starting June 1st - Lisbet Laursen as Sales Manager and Ankido Borissov as Financial Controller. This follows the additions of Ravi Desai as Senior Developer in May and Mette Nielsen as Marketing Coordinator in late April. Another marketing staff update includes Julianna Carlson-van Kleef, Content Creator & Master Trainer, who will be on maternity leave from June 1st.
April 2022
Switch from Google reCAPTCHA to hCaptcha
As we mentioned in our roadmap for 2022, we have been working towards switching out Google ReCAPTCHA as part of our continued focus on GDPR compliance. We are happy to inform you that we are replacing the Google reCAPTCHA feature with a new provider called hCaptcha. hCaptcha is widely used across the world and will help our compliance efforts by protecting user privacy, while at the same time serving as powerful bot protection. Learn more about hCaptcha here.
We will make the switch Tuesday, May 31st. We will send out a reminder email with additional information about this upcoming change closer to this date.
Migration of V3 sites to II planned throughout this year
Mono wants to provide you and your customers with the most up-to-date Mono Editor available for quick fulfillment, easy updates, and a better user experience. Our current version (II) of the Mono Editor is not only the most robust version, it also provides much more functionality - such as increased editing options, increased GDPR-compliance and optimized page speed, and the addition of other Mono Products.
We want to direct all our development efforts towards maintaining and improving version II going forward and have therefore decided to say goodbye to all V3 sites throughout this year.
If you haven’t already been contacted about the migration of any existing V3 sites, you will be soon. In the meantime, we have compiled a variety of resources to assist you, including a case study with Schlütersche detailing how the company went about upgrading customer sites from V3 to II, an introductory video to Mono Editor (II), an article explaining the main differences between V3 and II, a feature comparison of the V3 and II editors, and more.
Find more information here.
Improved monitoring for increased stability
As part of our 2022 roadmap, we mentioned that we also planned to focus on the internal infrastructure of our platform. We have taken measures to further increase the robustness of our platform and be more proactive in fixing issues before customers are affected by investing in an improved monitoring system of our platform. This has now been fully implemented, and we will continuously adapt and improve the new monitoring over the next couple of months as we keep a close eye on the stability of the Mono platform.
Bug fixes & minor improvements
- Scroll bar for the Editor: We have added a scroll bar to our Editor which will enable users who don’t have the scroll functionality on their mouse to scroll, as well as facilitating the Editor use on tablet devices.
- Weekly RAI notifications are sent again: Notifications about Mono subscriptions that will expire are being sent again automatically every Monday at 3:00 am.
March 2022
New grid and hover interactions
On March 7th, we released an update to the Mono Editor, where users can now experience a cleaner grid, a quick menu, improvements to the drag and drop experience, and simpler hover interactions. This new interface allows for more intuitive interactions with modules, columns, and rows
Read more about the changes here.
Although we tested the updates thoroughly prior to release, there were still some initial bugs. In the time since the release, we have worked to fix those; including:
-
Supporting overlapping elements: when modules, columns and/or rows have the same, or close to the same size, it was previously not possible to view the menus of their parent elements. This has now been fixed by making them all available when they overlap.
- Minor display issues (menu and button visibility and alignment, border issues)
- Making the header button and second slider menu reachable
Google Fonts proxy
-
Last month, one of our main focuses for the month was creating a Google Fonts proxy to prevent the visitor’s IP address from being transmitted to the US. From the 1st of April, 2022, Mono Solutions will release the Google Fonts proxy to all partners to enhance GDPR compliance for European sites. To use this new proxy, simply re-publish your site. Your site will automatically start using the new Google Fonts proxy.
More information including FAQ can be found here.
New e-commerce solution
-
We are discontinuing our native and homegrown e-commerce solution and replacing it with Mono Ecommerce+. This solution is powered by Ecwid - one of the leading ecommerce providers worldwide - and integrates shop management into the Mono Editor.
To ensure a seamless transition for you and your customers, Mono Solutions is offering to migrate all e-commerce products to the new solution, free of charge. If you haven’t already received information about this migration, please reach out and we will find a way forward.
Bug fixes and minor improvements
-
Improvements in the indexing of store pages: We have made additional improvements to the Ecwid integration to further improve proper indexing, which are encoding of URLs to index pages properly even if URL parameter get added that would otherwise be invalid, as well as not indexing of non-store pages (such as Ecwid sign in page).
-
Form modules: We have worked on improvements to form options to make sure form information is being saved: if users have not selected one way to store form data (email inserted locally or via global data or saving through customers), they will see a warning message. This way, we can avoid form data being lost.
February 2022
Google Fonts proxy
-
As GDPR compliance is one of our main focuses this year, we have started off the year with creating a Google Fonts proxy, preventing the visitor’s IP address from being transmitted to the US. While Google Fonts do not set cookies, they do record a visitor's IP address for analytical purposes and this data is sent to the US, which is considered a third country. This makes our use of Google Fonts fully GDPR compliant.
The solution will be released gradually to ensure a safe and seamless transition.
Ecommerce migration
-
The migration from our homegrown e-commerce solution to a new product called Mono Ecommerce+ which is powered by Ecwid - one of the leading e-commerce providers worldwide - is well underway. If you haven’t already received information about this, you will, in the coming few weeks.
Bug fixes and minor improvements
-
Included option to open external link in new tab for on-site engagements.
-
Make the domain registry process in Sweden GDPR compliant. Since the 12th of January ".se" and ".nu" domains are only allowed to have one contact associated. The code had to be adapted to make this feature detached from other registry processes. This prevents sending admin, billing and tech contacts during a domain update or registering.
-
Fix for anchor links ensuring that the page scrolls to the correct destination.
-
In the “Link and download” module in the editor, a site owner can add elements on top and below the list. This fix made sure that elements are in fact added to the top when that option is selected.
-
The sender address for the weekly RAI notification has been changed to avoid being flagged as phishing in the recipients’ inbox.
January 2022
- Ecwid integration improvements: To avoid indexing issues due to duplicate content and to improve SEO, we have made an improvement to our Mono Ecommerce+ integration. Each store page (both category and product pages) across all existing live sites using Ecwid are now indexed as individual pages through canonical links. Additionally, we've made some fixes to the sitemap to properly display Ecwid pages.
- Supported site language (frontend): It's now possible to mark sites as Estonian (et) is added to the supported languages and have system texts such as web forms, information and error message in Estonian. Refer to an updated overview of supported languages here.

Please note that Mono has renamed the generic diy user role to simple_editing_mode as we’re reserving the diy user role for our white-label Mono DIY offering that you’ll hear much more about in the near future.
The simple_editing_mode role configuration is exactly the same as for the role now formerly known as diy. Nothing has changed.
If you don’t specify a user role when creating a new website, the simple_editing_mode role is automatically applied to it.
Do I need to take any action?
You only need to act if you have already been contacted by Mono. If you haven’t heard from us, you don’t need to lift a finger.
