Prezly May 2025 update
Hub sites, story editor upgrades & more…
Hub sites – the Prezly sites that collect all your other sites in one place – have been moved to the Bea site theme, so they look better and give you more visual controls.
You can now:
- Turn a site into a hub yourself
- Set it online or offline, just like a regular site
- Play with the design using new style options
Great for PR portfolios and themed story collections. Available on Premium, Agency, and Enterprise plans.
Case study: See how PR agency oona uses hubs →
You can now reorder story components by simply dragging and dropping them.
No more copy-pasting blocks around – just grab and move.
Three new ways to handle video in your stories:
- Upload your own video files directly into your story via the “video embed” option
- Paste a YouTube or other video URL on a new line to embed it instantly
- Refresh your video thumbnail by clicking the embed and selecting “refresh embed”
You can now see a preview of how your story card will look on your site before publishing. Check the cover image & sharing options in the sidebar – just remember that your site’s styling still affects the final look.
Speed up your workflow with these new formatting shortcuts:
- Cmd+Shift+1 (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+1 (PC) = Heading 1
- Cmd+Shift+2 / Ctrl+Shift+2 = Heading 2
- Cmd+Shift+3 / Ctrl+Shift+3 = Heading 3
- Cmd+Shift+0 / Ctrl+Shift+0 = Paragraph
- Cmd+Shift+8 / Ctrl+Shift+8 = Bulleted list
- Cmd+Shift+9 / Ctrl+Shift+9 = Numbered list
No need to open the formatting menu – just type and go.
Did you know you can search from anywhere inside Prezly? Use the keyboard shortcut Cmd+K (Mac) / Ctrl+K (PC) to open the universal search bar and quickly find contacts, stories, sites and more.
That’s all for this month. Enjoy!
