Divi 5 Update: Public Alpha Version 6

The Divi 5 Public Alpha is available for testing. If you use Divi 5, you’ll notice an update notification for Public Alpha Version 6 today. We release new Divi 5 versions every two weeks, and it gets better each time! If you haven’t tested Divi 5 yet, try it and let us know what you think.

What’s New In Public Alpha 6?

This latest version of Divi 5 includes 76 bug fixes 🎉. As with previous versions, this update is 100% focused on fixing bugs and stabilizing the Public Alpha experience. However, this is the last version focused on fixing bugs.

A week ago, we resumed working on new features! Starting next month, you’ll see the remaining features from Divi 4 get filled in and a few new features, too (more on that in this month’s Divi 5 progress report).

Standout Changes

As has been the case with the last few updates, this new version contains many little fixes. There are too many to mention, but here are a few standout changes:

1. Added Missing Keyboard Shortcuts – Divi has many great keyboard shortcuts! We filled in a lot of missing shortcuts in this version. To view all shortcuts, click the “?” key to open the help panel when using the builder.
2. Continued Performance Improvements – We’re always looking for ways to make the Divi 5 interface faster. In this version, we reduced re-rendering in the settings panel, which makes interacting with settings faster.
