Blueprint Composer Gets Locked Default Sections

Version: 2.33.0, Date: September 13, 2026

Highlights

• Default Sections: Main Idea and AI Model now live in their own locked card.
• Main Idea preview is view only, because the person running the blueprint writes it.
• Consistent windows across variables, topic packs, Main Sections and categories.
• Category dropdowns show icons and open on top of the window instead of being cut off.

The blueprint composer had two pieces that could be moved and edited but should never have been: Main Idea and AI Model sat in Blueprint Sections alongside the sections you actually assemble, and the preview offered a text box for a main idea that the person running the blueprint is supposed to write. Both are fixed, and the Building Blocks windows get a consistent layout at the same time.

Blueprints

• New: A locked Default Sections card holds Main Idea and AI Model. It cannot be edited, moved or removed, which is the point: these two are always present.
• New: The Main Sections picker gains a “Search Main Sections” box that matches on name and description, plus a footer with “Build manually instead” and “Done”.

• Improved: The live preview’s Main Idea card no longer has a text box. It shows a note explaining that the end user writes their core idea when they run the blueprint. The “+ Variable” menu is still there.
• Improved: The Blueprint Sections and Variables cards now match the Topics card, with a tip line and a two button grid at the bottom. Variables offers “Variable Packs” and “Build your own”.
• Improved: New blueprints start on the Randomize color tone with a random seed. Saved blueprints keep the tone you chose, and older blueprints without one stay on Bright.
• Improved: The AI Model card subtitle reads “Chosen at runtime”, and its note says “blueprint” rather than “card”.
• Improved: The Variable Packs picker footer gains “Build manually instead” next to “Done”.

Building Blocks

• New: An “Edit Category Settings” button on a category’s page opens that category’s own settings window. Deleting is still done from the Categories list.

• Improved: The variable, topic pack, Main Section and category windows move Cancel, Delete and Create or Save into the header next to the title, and the bottom button row is gone. The Main Section window’s header stays in place while you scroll.
• Improved: The Icon label, icon search and the Color swatch share one row.
• Improved: The icon picker always opens on the General 2 group, and picking an icon from search results switches to that icon’s group so you can see what is around it.
• Improved: Variable and topic pack windows put Publishing, Published or Draft, on the name row, with equal sized buttons and a short note underneath explaining what each means.
• Improved: The Main Section window puts Categories between Description and Icon, matching the other windows.
• Improved: The Categories page moves the curated, availability and read only badges from the header down to the search row, which now shows even when there are no subcategories yet. Search, views and sort appear once there are some.
• Improved: On a Main Section’s page, “+ New Section” is now “+ Add Section”, styled like Add Topic, Add Variable and Add Subcategories.
• Improved: Edit Category Settings and Edit Main Section use the same sliders icon as Edit Main Topic and Edit Main Variable, and Edit Main Variable is now purple like the others.

Across the App

• Improved: The “Top level category it sits under” control is now an icon dropdown showing each category’s icon in its own color, and its empty option reads “None (top-level)” instead of a stray label.

• Fixed: Category and subcategory dropdown lists were being cut off by the window containing them. They now open on top of it, flip upward when there is no room below, and follow their button when the window scrolls. This applies everywhere these dropdowns are used.
