Better video length calculation
Video lengths are now calculated during upload and stored for later use, rather than when your clients press play. This also means your videos should load better now.

Cloned lessons update
You never knew where cloned lessons were going to appear. It was like playing "Where's Waldo?", but without the fun 🙄. We reviewed the logic, and now you will find them after the original ones. On top of that, we got rid of the <Copy of> label that was bothering you.

Carousel images in full view
The images and text shown in the Sales Page carousel were cut off 👀. Not a great first impression, right? It's all good now though.

Netflix-Style content library labels
Your section label name 📛 in your Netflix-style content library was not appearing. At all. Our bad, we should have let you know that we did that to keep your layout clean. We have now removed the label to avoid any confusion.
