New KrafterPRO Update!

KrafterPRO 4.2.8 (current)

1. The starter Theme Builder layout is now version-stamped. When you use Quick install to drop in the bundled Theme Builder layout, it installs as v1.0 and shows a version chip next to it — the same little version badge the Design System card already has. You can now tell at a glance which version of the starter layout a site is running.

2. KrafterPRO warns you before it touches an existing Theme Builder setup. If a site already has a Theme Builder template and you start another install — by Merge, by Replace, or by uploading your own file — it now stops and shows a warning first instead of just going ahead.

• Choose Replace and the warning tells you exactly how many existing template mappings it's about to delete.
• Choose Merge and the warning names what it will change: the Default Website Template and the global header/footer.

Fixed

3. The bundled Theme Builder file no longer smuggles in a second copy of the design system. That file used to carry presets, variables, and colours alongside the layout. If you ran the install with Import Presets still ticked, you could end up with a duplicate design-system kit on the site. The bundled file is now layout-only, so that can't happen — leaving Import Presets ticked has no side effect here anymore.

Frames (reusable section library) — brand new in this line

• 4.1.25–4.1.26: A Frames picker was added to the Divi Visual Builder — a native toolbar button, a grid of preview tiles, and an "insert" that drops a ready-made section onto the page without replacing anything else.
• 4.2.0 — Frames Cloud: Frames are now authored on one central site and show up in every licence holder's Visual Builder automatically, with no plugin update. The picker pulls a remote catalog (cached 15 min, refreshed twice a day), verifies each Frame's checksum, and re-maps its design tokens to whatever the local site calls them. If the central site is unreachable it falls back to a cached copy, then to the Frames bundled inside the plugin. Paid Frames are licence-checked at the boundary.
• 4.2.1: Picker gained a collapsible category sidebar, search, filter chips, and a "Check for new Frames" button. The "Save as Frame" authoring flow gained a readiness panel, draft-vs-publish, thumbnail preview/recapture/upload, and a library manager screen.
• 4.2.2: Sharper thumbnails (900px grid, 1800px preview). Hover a tile for a full-section preview, click to select. Dark sections now preview on their real background instead of white.
• 4.2.3–4.2.5: "Save as Frame" now bakes in heading/body typography (size, weight, line-height) from the group presets, so an inserted Frame still looks right on a site that doesn't have those exact presets. It also captures the live canvas including unsaved edits.

Design Assist (the in-builder fixer)

• 4.0.11 onward: Design Assist panel in the Visual Builder — live canvas update after Apply, "Apply all like this" for identical fixes, "This module / Whole page" scope, a session progress chip, and a resizable panel. It needs a live design system (variables + presets) or it warns you.
• 4.1.2–4.1.4: Scans section/row/column/group spacing and margins; detects old static spacing presets and suggests the nearest KrafterPRO clamp preset; click a finding to select that module on the canvas; separate Headings and Text categories; collapses identical fixes into stacked cards with "Apply all"; a notification dot on the toolbar when the page scores below 100.
• 4.1.7 — Accessibility: WCAG AA contrast cards for Heading, Text, Blurb, and Call To Action. Contrast fixes are never bundled into "Apply all".
• 4.1.14: Flags sections still on Divi's default 4% top/bottom padding and suggests attaching k-section-m.
• 4.2.6: Unlicensed sites now get Design Assist. Scanning and preview are unlimited; each site can apply 5 single fixes for life, then Apply turns into an upgrade prompt (undoing a trial fix as an admin refunds a credit). Batch/Modernise-all, layout modernisation, and Design Guard stay licence-only.

Design Health (the admin audit dashboard)

• Steady stream of fixes across 4.0.4–4.1.16: Fix now attaches the actual group preset (e.g. k-text-body), not just the raw number behind it; the score stopped "bouncing" after fixes because it re-reads the pages it just changed; stopped showing inflated "+N score" numbers on upgrade cards; ignores Divi's factory default sizes instead of flagging them.
• 4.1.13: Body text on cart, checkout, and shop pages now follows your design-system size — those pages had been stuck at 20px from Divi's theme settings.
• 4.1.11 — Client Health Report: A print-ready HTML report generated from the last scan (score, work done this period, what's left, Guard, cleanup, snapshots). It never re-crawls the site; browser "Save as PDF" is the export path. Agency branding on the report needs a licence — without one it still generates with KrafterPRO on the cover.
