What’s new at Darkling

November 13, 2026 · Choosing and getting started

• A three-question chooser recommends one starting resource and one alternative.
• My Library includes first-use practice material, clearer opening/download options and direct links to the selected resource.
• The tool collection is now called Darkling Author Tool Suite; existing purchase IDs and access remain the same.
• Keyboard focus, accessible names, download feedback and task-video labels have been improved.

November 13, 2026 · Clearer product choices

• Concrete illustrative input/output examples and suggested bundle workflows.
• Signed-in purchase labels and overlap notices help identify resources already included.
• Clearer separation between product prices and outside assistant/API/media costs.
• A saved-connection check lists models without generating content.

November 13, 2026 · Security and privacy

Improved credential handling, purchase-session protection and media rendering. The privacy panel is smaller and optional tracking remains consent-controlled. Refresh an open tool after an update; you may need to sign in or reconnect a provider.

November 12–13, 2026 · Walkthroughs and organization

Eight narrated task walkthroughs, approximately 2–3 minutes each, with captions, transcripts and written guides. They use prepared examples and workspace screenshots; continuous live-generation recordings are a separate upcoming addition.

November 13, 2026 · Compatibility, backups and help

Added per-resource setup and backup notes, a troubleshooting center and help links inside maintained tools. Optional public-store events measure chooser use, demo starts and checkout clicks only when analytics consent is allowed. Verified payment records remain the source for completed orders.

Author-owned worked example

Death Takes a Honeymoon: from opening excerpt to promotional hooks shows source anchors, ten written angles, an editorial top three and an unsupported angle to reject.

What this means for existing buyers

No repurchase is needed for these interface, help and security improvements. Open your existing resources in My Library. For downloaded skills, retain the package version and follow its included setup guide; this page records site releases rather than certifying every assistant/provider combination.
