Changelog
New updates and improvements to Conception.
Export & Folder Experience Improvements

Note Export
You can now export notes in multiple formats, including Markdown & CSV, HTML, and PDF. This makes it easier to share your work, create backups, or move content across different tools without losing structure.
The export system also gives you more control over what gets included. You can choose to export the entire page or exclude files and images depending on your needs. In addition, notes that contain linked subpages using [[...]] are now recognized during export. You can choose to include these subnotes, and if enabled, Conception can automatically organize them into folders, preserving the structure of your content outside the app.
Folder Page Improvements
We’ve made several improvements to how folders behave, especially when it comes to organizing and interacting with content.
Rearranging items inside a folder is now much more intuitive. You can drag and drop notes, chats, and subfolders directly within the folder page, similar to how it works in the sidebar. Any changes you make are instantly reflected across the workspace, ensuring that the folder view and sidebar stay in sync.
We’ve also fixed an issue in gallery view where dragging an item would accidentally select its internal content. Interactions are now more precise, so dragging behaves as expected without interfering with the content inside notes or chats.
Another important improvement is the introduction of a consistent structure within folders. Content is now always organized in a defined order, with folders appearing first, followed by notes, and then chats. When new items are created, they automatically follow this structure instead of being appended arbitrarily. This resolves earlier inconsistencies where new folders or notes would appear in unexpected positions.
Cover Image Fix
We’ve resolved an issue where updating cover images was failing in some cases. Cover images should now update reliably across notes.
Behind the Scenes
This update also includes several internal improvements to ordering logic, drag-and-drop behavior, and synchronization between different parts of the interface. These changes lay the groundwork for a more consistent and scalable workspace experience as new features are introduced.
Templates, Folders & Structure

This update introduces a more structured way to organize and standardize your workspace - with templates and folder-level intelligence at the core.
Page Templates

You can now create reusable templates for your pages.
• Create structured starting points for notes
• Save time on repetitive setups
• Maintain consistency across your workspace
Templates can include:
• Page properties
• Pre-filled content
• Formatting and structure
Folder Templates
Folders are now smarter.
Each folder can define its own default template for notes created inside it.
• Any new note inside a folder automatically follows the folder template
• Enforces consistent structure at the folder level
• Great for workflows, projects, and documentation systems
Folder Pages (New)

Folders now open as full pages.
• New route: /folder/:id
• Clicking a folder opens a dedicated view
• Displays:
• Notes
• Chats
• Subfolders
Views available:
• List view
• Icon view
• Gallery view (with previews of notes & chats)
Folder-Level Defaults & Enforcement
Folders can now enforce:
• Page properties
• Initial content (via templates)
When:
• Creating a new note inside a folder → template is applied automatically
• Dragging a note into a folder → user is prompted before:
• Overwriting existing properties
• Injecting template content
Template Management System
We’ve laid the foundation for a template ecosystem:
• Templates are now stored at workspace level
• Dedicated schema for templates
• Supports versioning, metadata, and future extensibility
Includes:
• Public/private templates
• Version tracking
• Structured content storage
Also introduced:
• Workspace ↔ Template relationship layer (preparing for future template marketplace)
Page Properties, New AI Models & Website Performance Improvements
Page Properties (Front Matter)

Pages in Conception can now contain structured metadata through Page Properties (front matter). This introduces a flexible way to add typed fields directly to pages, allowing notes to evolve from simple documents into structured knowledge entries.
Properties appear directly below the page title and can store different data types such as text, numbers, checkboxes, URLs and many more. These fields remain fully editable and are stored as part of the page metadata, making them ideal for organizing research notes, tracking projects, or creating lightweight databases inside your workspace.
Folder-level property templates can also be defined to enforce consistent structure across pages within a directory. When a template is applied, newly created pages automatically inherit the predefined property schema, ensuring uniform metadata across related notes.
This feature enables users to introduce structure without sacrificing the flexibility of freeform pages. Over time, workspaces can evolve from collections of notes into interconnected systems of structured knowledge.
New AI Models Available

Added support for several new AI models to expand reasoning, speed, and generation capabilities across chats and AI-assisted workflows.
The following models are now available:
• GPT-5.4
• Gemini Pro 3.1
• Claude Sonnet 4.6
These models improve reasoning quality, context handling, and response performance across research, writing, and knowledge exploration tasks.
Supported models can be selected directly from the AI model selector when starting a chat or running AI commands.
Website Performance Improvements

Improved the performance of the Conception website by optimizing large image assets across landing pages and documentation.
Previously heavy images were replaced or compressed with lighter assets to reduce load time and improve rendering speed across devices. This change significantly decreases page weight, allowing faster initial page loads and smoother navigation, particularly on slower networks.
These optimizations improve the overall user experience while maintaining visual clarity across marketing and product documentation pages.
Versioning Infrastructure, Trash System & Search Index Fixes

Notes Version History (Version Control)
You can now view, compare, and restore past versions of your notes. Every meaningful change is automatically saved in the background, so you can rewind edits, preview differences, and recover previous content with confidence - no fear of overwriting work or losing ideas.
Version history now runs automatically in the background, creating intelligent snapshots while avoiding duplicate saves through content deduplication. Changes are presented in a chronological timeline with clear timestamps and summaries, making it easy to understand how a note evolved over time. You can preview any version, compare it against the current state with inline diffs, and restore it when needed. Manual save points are supported alongside debounced auto-saves, ensuring important edits are always captured without adding friction.
Directory Version Control

Folders now have history too. Structural changes like renames, moves, and re-organizations are tracked, giving you visibility into how your workspace evolves over time. If something goes wrong, you can trace changes back and restore with clarity - perfect for large workspaces and long-running projects.
Directory versioning introduces visibility into structural changes across your workspace by tracking directory-level mutations over time. This makes large refactors and reorganizations safer by allowing changes to be reviewed and traced if needed. As workspaces grow in size and complexity, directory history improves auditability and reduces the risk associated with structural updates.
Trash Bin for Notes & Chats

Introduced a Trash Bin system to safely handle deleted notes and chats, enabling recovery and permanent deletion workflows. Deleted items are no longer immediately removed. Instead, they are moved to Trash, where users can review, preview, restore, or permanently delete them.
A dedicated Trash entry has been added to the sidebar dropdown to centralize access to deleted content. Notes and chats are now soft-deleted and moved to Trash instead of being immediately removed. The Trash dialog lists deleted items in reverse chronological order and provides read-only previews—notes render in a non-editable state, while chats display only historical questions and responses with all interaction controls disabled. Items can be restored to their original workspace path and hierarchy, or permanently deleted for irreversible removal. Access controls are enforced to ensure users can only view and manage their own deleted content.
Added Opus 4.6 model

Integrated the Opus 4.6 model into the AI model selection, making it available for supported chat and content-generation workflows.
Incognito Mode, New AI Models & Smarter, Secure Payments

We’ve launched Incognito Mode to give you a more private way to search and chat, making it easier to work on sensitive ideas or explore freely without leaving a trace. You can quickly enable or disable this mode anytime using the shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + I, ensuring seamless control over your privacy.

Alongside this, we’ve significantly expanded our AI model offerings by adding powerful new models from OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and Gemini, giving you more choice, better performance, and improved results across a wide range of use cases.
We’ve also fixed important issues related to refund cancellations and recurring payments, and enabled 3D Secure for all card transactions, adding an extra layer of protection and reliability to your billing experience.
Prevent notes corruption and duplicate content on refresh

Resolved an issue where note's content were being duplicated after page refresh or when reopening slides, caused by stale cache data and multiple save events triggering simultaneously. The fix optimizes the note-saving flow by ensuring each save is processed only once, with improved cache validation and synchronization between client and server. This update prevents content corruption and ensures note data remains consistent and reliable across refreshes and slide interactions.
