What's new at
ZyVOP.

Hashnode GitHub backup repositories can now be imported directly into ZyVOP as Markdown archives.

• Create the backup in Hashnode: a Pro publication owner or admin opens Publication Dashboard → GitHub, connects a repository, and runs Backup all posts and, if needed, Backup all drafts.
• Upload one ZIP: download the repository from GitHub as a ZIP and select it in ZyVOP's Hashnode Backup importer.
• Preserve useful metadata: Hashnode frontmatter such as titles, tags, canonical URLs, cover images, and original publication dates is retained when available.
• Review everything safely: imported articles are created as private drafts and matching articles are skipped.
• Know the Hashnode limitation: GitHub backup is a Hashnode Pro feature; free publications do not currently receive this bulk-export route.

Open Dashboard → Posts → Import Articles → Hashnode Backup to upload the repository ZIP.

ZyVOP now gives readers a clear, consistent account of how AI contributed to every newly published article.

• Three clear choices: human-written, AI-assisted, or AI-generated.
• Guided validation: the editor opens, scrolls to, focuses, and briefly highlights the disclosure controls when a required choice is missing.
• Human review guardrail: AI-involved work must be reviewed and confirmed before it can be published or scheduled.
• Reader-facing context: declared articles display a compact disclosure beside the article metadata.
• DEV Community parity: disclosure levels are preserved when importing from or cross-posting to DEV.
• API, CLI, and MCP support: API requests return clear validation errors, while the CLI validates locally before publishing and preserves the declaration for direct DEV publishing.

Existing articles remain live and unchanged, but their next public update requires the author to choose a disclosure.

You can now move a local Markdown library into ZyVOP in one upload.

• Batch import up to 200 .md or .markdown files from a ZIP archive.
• Preserve common frontmatter including titles, subtitles, descriptions, tags, canonical URLs, cover images, and original publication dates.
• Bring relative images with you: referenced JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and AVIF files are copied into ZyVOP-managed storage.
• Review everything safely: articles are saved as private drafts, duplicates are skipped, and the final summary reports per-file issues.
• Import with bounded archive processing: encrypted, oversized, corrupted, or suspiciously compressed archives are rejected.

Open Dashboard → Posts → Import Articles → Markdown ZIP to import an archive.

You can now launch fully branded, independent media publications on ZyVOP with your own custom domain, layout, and monetization.

• Decoupled Publications: Create independent publications completely separate from your personal profile, with custom display names, descriptions, logos (light & dark), and favicons.
• Multiple Layout Engines: Switch seamlessly between modern Bento Grid, Classic / Stacked, and Broadsheet layouts with live interactive preview.
• Custom Domains with Automatic SSL: Connect apex domains or subdomains with automatic Cloudflare SSL provisioning and edge-level routing.
• Publication Modes & SEO Authority: Choose between Network Integrated (canonical syndication) and Standalone Pro mode (automatic 301 redirects consolidating search ranking directly onto your publication).
• Custom Navigation & Static Pages: Build custom navigation bars and publish Markdown-backed static pages such as About, Terms, or Privacy.
• Full-Text In-Publication Search: Fast client-side and server-backed search across your publication catalog.
• Built-In Monetization & RSS: Connect Google AdSense with configurable publisher IDs, automatically generate RSS feeds (/rss.xml) and sitemaps (/sitemap.xml), and collect newsletter subscribers.

To get started, go to Publication in your dashboard (or visit /dashboard/publication) to activate and configure your publication.

ZyVOP now helps authors turn useful reader questions into a visible, editable FAQ section.

• Build FAQs manually from the editor toolbar or by typing /faq.
• Add up to 10 question-and-answer pairs, then reorder, remove, or edit them before inserting the section.
• Generate grounded FAQs with AI from the content already in your article.
• Keep every answer fully editable in the article after insertion.
• Publish matching FAQPage JSON-LD alongside the visible FAQ section as optional machine-readable metadata.

FAQPage markup does not guarantee a rich result, search ranking, inclusion in an AI answer, or citation. Open an article in the writing studio and select FAQ to create a section without using AI, or choose Generate FAQs to draft one from your article.

ZyVOP can now connect directly to supported AI coding assistants through a hosted Model Context Protocol server.

• Connect Claude Code, Cursor, Kiro, or VS Code to the remote endpoint at https://zyvop.com/mcp.
• Create drafts, schedule posts, or publish immediately with Markdown content and selected connected destinations.
• Inspect posts and connected platforms before asking the assistant to distribute an article.
• Review account and post analytics through read-only MCP tools.
• Authenticate with an existing ZyVOP developer token generated from Settings → Integrations.

The server uses ZyVOP’s existing account permissions, connected publishing integrations, and developer-token rate limits. Review every publish request before approving it in your assistant.

Open the MCP setup guide for client-specific configuration.

LinkedIn is now part of ZyVOP’s account and publishing workflows.

• Sign in or create your ZyVOP account with LinkedIn using LinkedIn’s OpenID Connect flow.
• Connect LinkedIn for publishing from Settings → Integrations with separate permission to share posts.
• Promote individual articles on LinkedIn by selecting it as a destination before publishing.
• Enable automatic cross-posting to share new article announcements immediately or after your configured syndication delay.
• Send readers to the full article with an announcement containing the title, summary, and tracked article link.

LinkedIn login and publishing permission remain separate, so authors choose whether ZyVOP can post to their LinkedIn account.

ZyVOP now natively supports GitHub Gists across the writing studio, article reader, import engine, and multi-platform syndication.

• Instant smart paste and embed: Paste any public GitHub Gist link, embed script snippet, Dev.to Liquid tag, or Hashnode tag into the editor to automatically render an interactive code card.
• Sleek native code presentation: Enjoy accurate syntax highlighting, multi-file tab navigation, line counters, and direct links to the original Gist and author profile.
• Universal one-click copy: Copy code snippets directly from the embed with robust fallback support across desktop, mobile webviews, and development environments.
• Seamless syndication & article imports: Imported articles preserve Gist embeds automatically, and published articles translate them into native embed tags for Dev.to, Hashnode, and Medium.

Type /gist in the editor or paste any GitHub Gist URL to embed your first snippet.

ZyVOP provides a credential-free, assisted workflow for preparing HackerNoon drafts.

• Verify your public HackerNoon profile in Settings > Integrations.
• Import your ZyVOP author RSS feed or an individual article URL from HackerNoon’s Story Importer.
• Open Story Settings and confirm First Seen At contains the original ZyVOP article URL before submitting.

HackerNoon creates a draft for your review; ZyVOP does not automatically publish, submit, or track that draft.

ZyVOP now makes it easier to bring an existing body of technical writing into your workspace.

• Preview before importing by pasting a public publication, feed, or article URL—no account is required for the read-only preview.
• Import from DEV, Hashnode, Medium, RSS or Atom feeds, or extract a single public article from another website.
• Preserve useful article structure including titles, content, tags, publication dates, and available images.
• Protect the original source by copying articles into private drafts with canonical attribution rather than changing the source publication.

Open the Article Migration page to preview a blog and choose what to bring into ZyVOP.

You can now collect feedback on an article before making it public.

• Create a secret preview link for any saved draft directly from the editor.
• Show the real reading experience so reviewers see the draft as it will appear when published.
• Share without requiring a ZyVOP login while keeping the draft out of public feeds and search discovery.
• Reset or revoke access at any time to invalidate an earlier preview URL.

Save your draft, then use Shareable Draft Preview in the publishing controls.

Mastodon is now available as a ZyVOP cross-posting destination.

• Connect your Mastodon presence from the ZyVOP integrations workspace.
• Publish automatically or per article from the same cross-posting workflow used by other integrations.
• Share a polished public status containing the article title, a concise excerpt, a direct reading link, and relevant hashtags.
• Track Mastodon distribution alongside the other destinations selected for an article.

• Write Mermaid diagrams alongside your article using a familiar text-based format.
• Preview diagrams as clear visuals while working in the ZyVOP editor.
• Keep diagrams readable across supported destinations when an article is syndicated.
• Use diagrams for technical explanations without managing separate screenshots for each channel.
