Changes to Sherman Studio, newest first. Follow along with the Atom feed.
Next to sign-in levels, sites can now have access groups. A person can be in several, by name, by email domain, by invitation or from a form. Limit a page or form to one or more groups (anyone in any of them gets in), together with a level if you like. Templates can show sections by group. The site's top level can open every group page. Free. Read more
Owners can paste or update the value of an existing site secret in the site page's Secrets section. Values are never shown; new secrets are still created through the studio's MCP (set_secret). Read more
Forms can now take a screenshot or PDF from a visitor (store_upload step), when a site admin turns uploads on. Files are kept in private storage with size, type and rate limits, and open only for the visitor who sent them, your staff, or a short-lived link. Webhook requests from flows can also be optional and sent in the background. Priced per stored file in credits. Read more
support.shermanwebdesign.com lists the guides and lets you open a support ticket by signing in with your Sherman Studio account, with an optional screenshot. Replies appear on your ticket's page. The studio's Get help link fills in which site and page you were on. Read more
Give the people who sign in to your site a level (visitor, member, staff, admin, or your own names), by person, by email domain or from a flow, and choose per page or form who can open it. Signed-out visitors are sent to sign in, people below the level see a “not available” page, and templates can show or hide sections by level. Works with Sign in with Studio and your own sign-in flows. Free. Read more
Every site's free address is now yourname.sitehost.dev, a domain of its own, apart from the studio. Older yourname.shermanwebdesign.com addresses keep working and redirect to the new address (forms and webhooks are not redirected). Sites also get stricter security headers, and names that imitate official services are reserved for new sites. Custom domains are unchanged. No extra charge. Read more
Site owners can let visitors sign in with their Studio ID (Google, Microsoft or Apple behind it): one setting, a ready-made button, members-only pages with no flows, a per-site private ID for each person and the email address they choose to share. Visitors see a clear consent screen and manage their sites on the Account page. Free to turn on; sign-ins are billed like other site sessions. Read more
docs.shermanwebdesign.com now has a getting-started guide, a page for each feature, and this list of changes, also as an Atom feed. Read more
You can now sign in to the studio with your Apple Account, next to Google and Microsoft. Hide My Email addresses work; the Account page asks for a real address too so invitations and receipts reach you. Read more
Ended up with two accounts? Prove you own the other one, choose which stays, and confirm: sites, credits, sign-in methods and email addresses move over. Read more
Add extra addresses to your account with a one-time code, choose your primary address, and get invitations sent to any of them. Read more
Forms are protected by a built-in, self-hosted check (proof of work, honeypot and minimum time) with no puzzles and no third-party scripts. Bring your own Turnstile or reCAPTCHA keys if you prefer. No extra charge. Read more
New Business ($100, 115,000 credits) and Scale ($250, 300,000 credits) packs; Standard, Pro, Business and Scale now include 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% bonus credits. Read more
The new send_email flow step sends mail through your own mail account (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho or any SMTP host), with clear errors, daily limits and a sent log. Mail DNS (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC) can be set up for studio domains. Read more
Flows can run every few minutes or on a cron schedule. update_record changes records only when conditions hold, atomically and all-or-nothing, for stock, sign-ups, counters and queues. Read more
Forward addresses at a domain you bought or transferred in through the studio to your own inbox, free. Read more
Store, query and delete JSON records from flows, pages and the studio, with indexes and exports. Usage only, no monthly minimum. Read more
One template can serve many addresses (/sermons/:slug), and a page can show data from a flow, optionally cached. Read more
Search, buy, renew and transfer in domains, paid in credits. New domains are set up for your site automatically, with free WHOIS privacy. Read more
Connect your own domain with automatic HTTPS. A bare domain and its www count as one domain: 400 credits a month (200 for October 2026). Read more
Anyone can sign up, get 5,000 credits once and create up to 5 sites on their own. Read more
