Added

  • Linked tokens (Divi 5.18):

    • Type, spacing and section scales link to a base size and a multiplier.
    • Each scale has a preview card with Apply and Unlink, behind a confirm and a snapshot.
    • Values you changed are never overwritten.
    • Nothing linked is written on Divi older than 5.18.
    • Linked tokens survive a Merge import.
  • Linked 4.0.0 design-system kit:

    • It ships ahead of the older kits.
    • It adds five role aliases: button radius, control radius, card padding, button side padding and section gap.
    • It adds fixed 6, 14 and 30px tokens and an icon scale from 16 to 64px.
    • Preset measurements are bound to tokens and roles, with a diff report of changed presets.
    • Hygiene and integrity checks run when the kit is built.
    • The kit is refused on Divi older than 5.18.
    • A newer kit shows a per-user notice and a Replace preview.
    • Replace asks you to confirm and says it resets edits.
  • Button radius modes: follow the control radius, match it exactly, or stand alone.

  • Linked-kit drift: three audit findings (changed ratio, hard-set value, unresolved link). They are advisory, count at half weight in Design Health, and appear in the audit UI and the MCP contract.

  • Linked values in other surfaces: they resolve in the REST export, the AI-context scan and values, and the MCP parser. The AI skill caveats and glossary mention them.

  • Brand copy and images as site variables:

    • Copy variables: name, tagline, legal, contact link, call to action, phone and address.
    • Image variables: logos, a brand mark, hero, call-to-action background, section pattern, placeholder and OG image, seeded with bundled artwork.
    • The Hero, Hero (free), Call to Action and Pricing Frames use them.
    • Replace keeps your text, links and images.
  • Brand Studio redesign: a split editor with tabs, kit search, a live browser preview, colour ramps, an apply footer, and a preview-only dark switch.

  • Components add-on: the add-on can extend Frames without a licence and place Frames-chip components.

  • Admin: step numbers on the workflow tabs and a Shop button.

Changed

  • Brand Studio opens on Colour kits, and Save brand copy is a blue button.
  • Image buttons say Change image once a file is chosen.
  • The Guide button reads Watch guide.
  • Corners are 8px on panels and 4px on small controls, and the language and light/dark controls have no border.
  • The Visual Builder bar link is a 32px rounded square.
  • The admin colours, type, radius and shadow styles were reworked.
  • The remaining Brand Studio swatch and preview tweaks are in the file.

Fixed

  • A Text module heading size now beats the Visual Builder fluid default.
  • The “up to date” state shows a check on a green button.
  • The selected font pair stays readable.
  • Narrow-width Brand Studio rules now apply.
  • Unknown preset ids are stripped on import.
  • The Frames offline check ignores component rows.
  • Merge no longer creates a second variable when labels differ only by spaces or hyphens. This shipped before 4.2.31 but was never in the notes.

Mak . Can we update the design system version to 5.0 (same as Krafter PRO) so that there would be no confusion for the users

Mak

Kiran Kumar Sure, I can do that :)

Jorge Nava

Kiran Kumar Was going to suggest the same thing :P

Jorge Nava

When it's ready, the update from Krafter PRO 4.x to Krafter PRO 5.x it's going to be automattic? or do we need to download and install?

Was automatic for me. During the KP5 install it stopped to ask "Do you want to replace the old version?" then did it for me. nice!

Graham

I'll wait until I can update it from Plugins in WP. I hope that will be possible - please tell me if not!

Gary Gordon

Marcus Mak, when will you be adding a link to KrafterPro v5 in our Downloads area, so we don't have to look for this one post in the community? If possible, I'd like to see both the v4 and v5 in our Downloads area, or at least have both until you feel the v5 is stable enough for everyone to start using it. Please let me know what you think makes the most sense and when you'll be able to add this. Thanks, Gary

Mak

Gary Gordon I am still waiting for v5 feedback, want to know if it breaks anything so please try it out too.

Gary Gordon

Marcus Mak, if you add it to the download area (now), you can add information such as, this version is in test mode, and maybe add a form for people to provide feedback. This will allow more of your users to easily find KrafterPro v5. And again, you can add any special information as well as a link to a form, for people to let you know if they notice any bugs, etc. Just a thought. Many people may not find this one post with the link to download v5.
