Release 8.39 24/11/2025
We’re pleased to release the 8.39 version of the Blue Billywig Online Video Platform.
Multi-page Channels
We’re excited to introduce a new feature for Channels called Multi-page Channels!
Multi-page Channels is a feature that allows you to structure content across several distinct pages. This is ideal for highlighting specific content individually. Visitors can easily navigate between these pages using a dedicated navigation bar displayed at the top of the Channel.
To set up a Multi-page Channel, simply select the Multi-page option when creating a new Channel. You can then incorporate your existing Channels, customize the appearance of the navigation bar, and fine-tune the overall style to meet your needs.
