Following Viktor’s post yesterday, an update has already dropped, 3.4.2. This seems to be the ‘early next week’ version he was referring to:
• Early next week: better sidebar customization, Reminders improvements, and some smaller fixes
The customization is useful, especially on the smaller mobile screen where you can now hide Imagine and Shared with Me. Imagine in particular didn’t need to be at the top of the side bar, it’s a (very useful) setting to access MCP and API connections but didn’t need to be accessed daily.
The reminder improvements are the other ones I’ve looked at. Seems an improved implementation but to be honest I’ve never really found a good use case for them or understood when to use reminders vs tasks. I can see the point of timed tasks but adding an alert to a document seems less useful. Any good ideas?
Here are the full release notes:
Craft 3.4.2 Release Notes
This update brings a redesigned Reminders experience, more flexible sidebar customization, smoother editing, and a range of visual polish across Craft.
You can now keep Craft cleaner by hiding Imagine and Shared with Me from the sidebar on Mac and iPad, or from the Home Screen on iPhone. Reminders are easier to manage with grouped sections for Overdue, Upcoming, and Resolved items. On Mac, you can also pin the Craft Assistant panel to the side of your window so it stays open while you write.
We’ve also improved styling interactions, math formulas, exports, slash menu labels, and fixed several small visual glitches across the app.
Highlights
Home, Sidebar & Navigation
• You can now hide Imagine and Shared with Me from the sidebar on Mac and iPad, and from the Home Screen on iPhone via Customize Sidebar. This is especially useful if you prefer a cleaner, more focused mobile experience.
• We also cleaned up several small visual details across the app, including sidebar alignment, selected Calendar states, and card style modal behavior.
Reminders
• The Reminders list has been redesigned with grouped Overdue, Upcoming, and Resolved sections. Resolved reminders are hidden by default, and a new 3-dot menu lets you show or hide resolved reminders, resolve all overdue reminders at once, or delete all resolved reminders with confirmation.
• On iPhone and iPad, the plus button has moved to the bottom-left toolbar. Reminder icons now clearly indicate whether a reminder is overdue, upcoming, or resolved. To resolve or unresolve a reminder, use its context menu.
Slash Menu
• We added a Custom Reminder option to the slash menu and block Edit menu, making it faster to add reminders without leaving the keyboard.
• Reminder, table, and separator labels in the slash menu are now clearer too.
Tags
• Tags hidden in workspace settings no longer appear as badges in block previews.
Document Editing & Styling
• You can now drag colors, color pairs, hex strings, and images directly onto the styling panel and color targets. The dropped value applies immediately, without needing to open a picker.
• Math formulas now support non-Latin characters and symbols typed directly, including emojis. We also improved spacing around \dots to better match standard mathematical typesetting.
• On Mac, scrolling past a focused block no longer jumps back to it for certain block types.
Export
• Mermaid XY chart axis labels, titles, and legends now render correctly in PDF and PNG exports.
Assistant
• On Mac, you can now pin the Craft Assistant panel to the right side of the window so it stays open while you write. Drag it to snap, or use Pin to Side from the chat menu.
• The Assistant can now also reorder rows and columns in tables, including transposing tables or moving rows to the top.
• Card background colors set by the Assistant now preserve both light and dark variants correctly.
