1.2 Coming Soon

TypeWhat ChangedWhy It Matters
Content ComponentsContent component templates were moved into dedicated Lava files within the theme.This avoids character conflicts that can occur during migrations and makes components more reliable to import, maintain, and reference across sites.
Layout & StylesTheme and Bootstrap 5 styles were consolidated to remove duplicate and overlapping rules. Layout files were updated to support the new structure.Pages load with less CSS, marking style conflicts easier to identify and resolve.
Announcement BannerThe Announcement Banner now uses a Content Channel View instead of an HTML Content block.Content editors can select and manage the appropriate announcement channel more directly without relying updating lava file.
NavigationPage navigation was redesigned to overlap the content below it instead of increasing the page height.Longer subnavigation menus have more room to display without pushing page content farther down the screen.
Rock Editor SupportTabler icons and Summernote styles are now imported for Rock editors in Rock v18 and v19.Editor tools and icons display more consistently when managing content in newer versions of Rock.
StylesLink colors now include a defined dark mode treatment.Links remain readable and visually consistent when a visitor’s device or browser uses dark mode.
Styles: FormsForm fields and dropdowns were updated to use consistent corner rounding.Forms now better match the rest of the Compass design system and provide a more consistent experience across field types.

1.1 Released June 2026

TypeWhat ChangedWhy It Matters
LayoutStandard pages now handle page titles directly in the page layout instead of relying on a separate header file.Page titles are more reliable and no longer depend on an extra file being included correctly.
LayoutBlank page layouts no longer include the site header and footer.Blank pages can now be used for pages that need a clean layout, such as embeds, landing pages, or special-use pages.
LayoutA compatibility script was added for a missing Bootstrap method.This prevents a console error caused by older behavior that no longer exists in Bootstrap 5.
Content Component: Step RowStep buttons now use the correct button for each individual step instead of repeating the section-level button.Each step can now link to its own destination as intended.
Content Component: CardsCard layouts were adjusted so border radius displays consistently on all corners.Rounded card corners now match the theme settings more reliably.
Content ComponentsContent sections now include an ID field that can be used for skip links.Buttons can link directly to sections farther down the same page.
NavigationLogged-in users are now directed to My Account instead of being sent back to the Login page when a return URL is present.This creates a smoother experience for people who are already signed in.
NavigationThe Login button now changes to an account dropdown for logged-in users, with options for My Account and Logout.Users have a clearer and faster way to access their account or sign out.
FooterVimeo was added as an available social icon option.Sites can now include Vimeo in the footer social links.
FooterCampus status is now checked by the text value “Open” instead of a system-specific ID.Campus information should display more consistently across different Rock instances.
