What’s New in BetterCanvas

We’ve been busy making your study sessions smoother and your dashboard more intuitive. Here’s a breakdown of the latest updates to help you stay on top of your semester.

You can update manually by going to “chrome://extensions”, turning on developer mode, and clicking Update!

📚 Study & AI Upgrades

• New "Learn" Page: We’ve launched a dedicated study hub! You can now turn your course materials—like past quizzes, notes, and readings—directly into AI-generated flashcards, adaptive quizzes, or study guides tailored to your specific goals.

• Better Source Control: You can now easily delete old study materials with the new trash icon and exit the source selector even if you haven't picked anything yet.

• "Explain My Answer" Fix: The AI explanation tool is back up and running to help you understand the "why" behind your practice questions.

• AI Transparency: We added an AI Nutrition Card (just click the "AI can make mistakes" link) so you can see exactly how our models process your data.

• Dark Mode Contrast: We bumped up the contrast on the "Send" button so you can see it clearly during those 2:00 AM study grinds.

🗓️ Task Planning & Organization

• Smarter Calendar Adding: When you click "Add Task" on a specific day in your calendar, it now defaults to that date automatically. No more manual clicking to change the due date from "Today" to the day you actually clicked.

• Fixed Notifications: We squashed a bug where in-app reminders wouldn't go away after you dismissed them. Your screen stays clean now.

• Activity Tracking: We’ve laid the groundwork for better Activity Insights, which will soon show you your most active study hours and help you track your on-time submission streaks.

🎨 Themes & UI

• Scroll Bug Fixed: Ever close the theme menu and realize you couldn't scroll the page anymore? That’s fixed—no more refreshing the page just to move down.

• Trending Themes: The "Trending" section now correctly shows what’s popular, even on fresh installs.

• Cleaner Sidebar: We cleaned up some messy code that was showing up in the Sidebar while you were creating custom themes.

💳 Plan & Account Updates

• Clearer Upgrades: We updated the "Style+" plan to be more straightforward—no more confusing trial text if you’ve already used one.

• Cleaner Design: We’ve polished the "Paywall" screen to be less distracting, highlighting the features you actually care about like Auto Notes and Unlimited Tasks.

• Updated Footer: It’s officially 2026! We’ve updated the site to reflect the new year.
