- Update during low-traffic hours if possible.

Simple changelog questions.
Why does the changelog start at version 1.0.0?
Version 1.0.0 is the first official Freemius selling version. Earlier beta builds were used for development and testing, not public release history.
Will future versions appear here?
Yes. After each public release, add the new version, date, simple summary, and update notes on this page.
Should I list every small beta test fix?
No. For customers, keep the changelog clean. List official public updates only, and explain them in simple words.
When should I rebuild the Fast Index?
Rebuild when an update changes Fast Index data, search matching, image rules, or product indexing. If the changelog says “Rebuild required”, run Rebuild Product List Now once.
What should I do if search looks wrong after update?
Clear cache, test in Incognito, and create a Debug Report. If needed, send support the Debug Report and a HAR file from browser Network tab.
FlatSearch.Pro will keep improving.
Future updates will focus on faster search, safer compatibility, cleaner design, and easier product discovery for Flatsome WooCommerce stores.
